so drag out all those old fire
extinguishers and cool those intercoolers. Liquid nitrogen (LN2) is a
liquid, easy to get, and it's really cold-- 77 degrees Kelvin. Spray that on
an intercooler and the charge temperature would plummet and its density
would go up. Liquid oxygen (LOX) would do much the same thing and when it
evaporates, some could be ducted into the intake....and the whole thing
would either go like stink or be a big hand grenade
*************************************************
Better be careful of getting the intercooler too cold. You can actually turn
the intake charge back to a liquid. The old addage " ...can't be cold
enough..." is not always the truth as applied to salt physics. This is free
advice from Gale Banks.
