It looks like they are actually using ice or some sort of chilling product to cool their intercoolers. :eek: I have had that same idea, but had no idea of how to implicate it.

 

local guy here had a twin turbo cadillac 500 motor. he ran the intercooler piping to the bed of his truck. he had 4 boxes that he would fill with ice that the piping would route through. that thing made sick power.

I am VERY curious to know what his intake temps were, probably ambient temp which is probably the equivilent to straight NO2.

I remember back in the old days (409/427 Chevys, 440 wedge/426 hemi Dodges & Plymouths, 429 Fords, etc), a lot of the guys would build aluminum "boxes" over the intake and around the carb that would be filled with ice before/between runs to keep them cold. I'm talking muscle car/pre-emissions & MPG legislation days when only rail jobs and Modifieds ran superchargers and turbochargers were only used on diesel semis.

So, using ice to cool the intake charge really isn't new.

They spray the I/C with CO2. They sell kits but it is also pretty easy to make them. You basicly run a ring of copper tubing around the outside front edge of the intercooler. You drill a bunch of holes facing inward. Then you run a line to a Nitrous solinoid, then to a paintball tank. Wire it up to a switch and you can spray the intercooler in shots like nitrous. Instead of the nitrous solinoid you can also run it off a pressure switch so it comes on with boost.

Those long dresses are called "dishdashas" and in their culture there's nothing feminine about em. There's actually several levels of formality with the dishdasha, all those in the video were casual though. At 125 degrees they're more comfortable than our standards of dress, they usually go commando.

 

All Arabs are gearheads, unfortunately they love Mercedes, BMWs, Toyota Hilux's and Land Rovers. But they do love Jeeps, unfortunately, anything with 4 wheel drive is a Jeep to them.

 

Did anyone else spot the Paki & Indian mechanics? Why get your hands greasy when you can pay someone else?
