"Sub-Zero" Liquid To Air Intercoolers FS.
Hi Everyone,
I am selling off an old project that has been sitting around for way too long. Some friends and I wanted to make some dry ice cooled Liquid To Air (LTA) intercoolers and we had Innovative Turbo Systems fab us up these beauties:

The concept was to be able to get temps close to freezing using a cooling media that stays liquid at extremely low temps to best take advantage of dry ice for short term cooling. This would be excellent for drag, dyno or sprint events. As long as you use a sufficiently sized reservoir and heat exchanger the cooling will be excellent for road and road course use without frozen help also.
They are made from real LTA cores and are NOT re-jacketed air to air coolers. They are calculated to easily support 600 hp worth of air. Needless to say I have over $2200 plus time in these and they are basically pretty paper weights to me at this time. I would love to see them go to a good home.
If you guys would like to see how a system is outlined take a look at this example of a single intercooler setup to get a good idea:

If anyone is seriously interested feel free to pick up the phone and ask some questions.
Here is a link to the Ebay auction and I hope who ever buys them puts them to great use.

Re: can you give me a little more info on the coolant "fuel"
Not sure what you mean by "Coolant Fuel".
A liquid to air style intercooler uses a liquid to pull the heat from the heated air. Than uses a pump , heat exchanger and reservoir to circulate the fluid.
One of the ideas here was to use a cooling media that has an extremely low freezing point that can take advantage of the extremely low temps of dry ice. -109 F vs 32 F of regular frozen H20

what i mean by coolant fuel is
what is going to be circulating on the system? i suppose you going to have a tank fuel of dry ice and pass this coolant by it and then by the "IC" but what where you planing to use for the media?
