It is not that hard to spray liquid CO2. All you need is a siphon in your tank and wallah! But granted, it does turn into gas pretty darn quick and you would run out faster if you were spraying the liquid.

umm its near impossible to get it in liquid form to spray into your intercooler. when it hits air it turns into gas...
Nope, it's not hard. Example, a doctor friend fill up a styrofoam cup (about a tablespoon) of liquid nitrogen (lower freezing point than CO2) and tossed it at my shirt. Besides freakin me out, I can tell you it was liquid because I felt the weight of it hit me.
It can be sprayed but you would never want to...it would run out too fast. Instead, the tanks do not use a siphon and so only cold gas is sprayed. Like big_ben said, it freezes the water in the air and creates ice on the intercooler to cool the intake temps...But anyways, back on topic----cold air is your engine's friend, especially if you have a high comp engine or a turbo or whatever.

Hey guys, pause the biochem debate for a second and lay it down. Is this mod going to give us noticeable HP gains. If so, since the kit is a bit on the pricey side, should we get some heads together and come up with a home kit "how to" mod?
Im looking at mods for my car, that will increase HP without lowering reliability. This seems like a viable option (if it works that is).

the smaller the IC you have, the more this system will probably help.

I just had a dumn ass thought, My car is a stock N/A MP5. Does it even have an intercooler? Tells you how much I really F'n know!
The system can still work with a NA car. it has three distibution options:
1. Spray an IC.
2. Use a bulb inside of the Air intake to cool the air.
3. Use a fuel bar to lower to temp of the fuel before it gets injected.
You can use one or all three of these applications if they apply to you. For us NA guys, we would want option 2 and/or 3. The unkonwn factor is how much HP gains we will see.
I've read elsewhere that the IC spayer does help, don't know specific gains, but that was on a Mini Cooper S. The guy loved it.

well if you're gonna do that, you might as well go nitrous...
You will definitely get more available power from NOS, especially if the car is tuned properly. The cryo system will probably get you 5-15hp depending on your weather. If you can tune your car (I doubt it unless you buy a piggyback fuel controller) you might up that a bit more, 10-30hp. But I have no actual experience with it, sorry. This is all conjecture from thermodynamics with a dash or realism...
I understand No2 would be better performance, but I'm not sure I want to go that route do to the chase of engine failure. Yes, I know, if I get it professionally installed and get the correct components ($$$$), the likely hood of that is slim, but with the Cryo2 system, I could do the install and remove the system very easily. Plus, Co2 is much cheaper.
