King Cobra 22 said:I heard from somebody to take a coffee can, bolt it somewhere under the hood and run a fuel line in it and coil it up then add dry ice to the can and it will give a bit more hp.Does this really work?
mo_dingo said:From what I gathered from that, you mean to coil the fuel line inside the coffee can & add dry ice to it to cool the fuel. It won't make a difference at all. Actually, it will probably make your car run rich
Since the car calculates a/f ratio by measuring the incoming air charge, and injecting a specific amount of fuel to make it combust, this will make the amount of fuel coming into each cylinder be more than normal, because the fuel is more dense, so a injector pulse duration of .5 seconds will now have the amound of fuel of a injector pulse width that lasts .6 seconds (numbers made up, just making a point).
So, unless you get a dyno tune for the change in fuel, you will run rich. But even with a tune, your car will not produce more power.
Fuel doesn't get very hot compared to the incoming air charge. Also, since there is about 13-15 times the amount of air in each cylinder per combustion cycle, it doesn't make sense to try to play with the amount/density of fuel coming in.
It all comes down to sucking the most air per cycle. The car can always add more fuel at will.

mstangfrk95GTS! said:its a old school trick you see alot on carbed/sc cars......it was actually called a Cool Can.
it doesnt add horsepower, but it does help prevent vapor lock.
just cause it wouldent work too well on a EFI mustang doesnt mean its a useless idea, yall could be a little more open minded.
