I didn't know it used dry ice ir something....from what I knew It mounts in place of the headlight for civics and in others it mounts directly behind the headlight(Accords, Eclipses, etc.), but I knew nothing of the dry ice thing, how does it work excatly?

 

Your not serious are you? I have heard of the iceman as well but I am almost positive that dry ice is not used. Correct me if I am wrong but that seems a little odd. Sorry if I offended you in any way.

 

Regular style CAI:


Airforce CAI(goes in place of right headlight on Civics):

 

I have a feeling he was joking but if not, I also looked up info on Iceman and saw no "dry ice" systems available. Also a few facts about dry ice that may not make it suitable for use with an intake, first dry ice is simply frozen Carbon Dioxide. The temp of dry ice is about -110 degrees F. I am not sure but, I think that air entering the engine below 0 degrees F may not be good. Dry ice on human skin produces instant frost bite and kills the skin instantly. Dry ice also has DRASTIC effects on metal, including warping and contraction. Again, I can't imagine that being healthy for the engine. Also the fact that dry ice sublimates (turns from a solid directly to a gas, no liquid) would be good, EXCEPT for the fact that the engine would be inhaling pure CO2, and once again I can't understand how that would be good. I may be totally off on this but I just thought I would throw out some facts that may help resolve this topic, if it wasn't a joke. Later.

 

yah, but with the cover on, that would also decrease air flow. or am i missing something?

 

I was think the same thing!! I doubt it will decrease flow, but from what I see it will TOTALLY STOP flow entirely!! .....basically on their site they say the window should only be removed when racing a the track. so for street driving with the Lexan window removed the filter will be covered with every single type of dirt, mud and crud the road and the driver in front of you has to offer! Doesn't sound too nice to me!? whoever does this I hope you stock up on a few hundred bottles of K&N Filter Recharger!

 

the one i saw was prolly not an iceman, i'm sorry bout that guys. i've heard of em, and i've seen one at the drag strip. I'm pretty sure it was dry ice. the guy pulled a chunk of the stuff out of a box that was connected to his intake. i'm not exactly sure how it worked, i'll see if i can find the type of induction later. i used iceman as a general term. I'm sorry for the confusion guys.

 

Hey no problem...it just seemed really odd to me. That would be cool if you could find out more info on it. Later!

 

It might have been a cool can that cools the fuel. They sell these in Summit, Jegs, etc..

 

so did anyone ever put this on a max i'm just wonderin lol

 

what are u doing looking in the past!

 

Ive ran a drier vent tube up into the airbox, no power gains whatsoever. I had it run down behind the headlight and then turn into the front right underneath the bumper.

I did notice a difference in mileage, It sucked up soooo much gas, i guess all this air was being forced in, and the air meter was adjusting the fuel to compesate for the extra air.

Ive ran it at the track , with and without, and i ran the same times either way. On this size of motor, a v6, it will suck up the air it needs, it doesn't need to be force fed.

 

You know , there may be a way that this might work.It would take some $$ though. Ok, think about this.....On a VG (i think thats what i have) if you were to remove the airbox and piping. Replace it with a small (4" long) metal tube w/ inlet welded on it for hose. Relocate the MAS (extend the wiring) to the end of the metal pipe. Next, put another 6" to 8" elbow pipe to connect the MAS to the "psudo intercooler", connect it all w/ clamps and sleeves and have it mount directly behind the fans on the radiator. Im sure you would need a 1" to 2" spacer there though to allow air to flow. The only thing i could see as a problem would be that you may need a lower thermostat to keep the fan on longer. ( although the fan draining power may offset any gain) Who knows im just talking out my pooper, Charles

 

again, and God has forsaken me lol I wonder what ever did happen to big jay? I bet he lurking among us with a diferent name It weird how all these old threads keep comming up.

 

MAN, I gotta quit qatching MacGuver! To make it clear, i meant that All the piping would be removed and connected again at the actual manifold. It might work with only 1' or less of intake piping total ( inc. MAS) Also it mas restrict too much air COOLING the engine that you may die, screaming, "STUPID PSUDO RICE MOD! AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" in a burning inferno that once was your maxima . Charles

 

Whos the other CHARLES?? I thought i was the only maxima owner with that name?!?

 

HEY! If you were really MacGyver I could leave you nekkid in the desert with a penknife and a rusty can and you'd come back riding a nuclear bomb!

Hullo Charles's'es'...

 

damnit

 

ok i have my penknife, and my rusty can, but i'm having trouble connecting the flux capacitor to the nuclear fusing attachment of my penknife. . .
