I installed the 10LB Cry02 tank last night! I installed it on the aluminum Fuel Tank cover, in the back seat. I put the bolts right on the "lip" of the circular cut out for what I'm guessing is the gauge assembly. There was plenty of leeway! Here are some pictures to show how clean it is.

I ran the 14' Steel Braided Hose through the interior of the car, through a little hole on the drivers side. There was a plastic cork in there which I popped out and sliced a (+) shaped opening into, so I could run the hose through it while still maintaining a level of waterproofing for the firewall.

Here is the tank fully mounted with interior reinstalled.

Here is what it looks like behind the seat where the line runs under the carpet.

This is up under the console, where it goes through the firewall from the inside.

This is where it comes out of the plastic grommet in the engine bay.

Here is a bigger view of the engine bay and how much slack I have on the hose left.

My car is dirty, getting a steam clean soon. I get my intercooler sprayer, timer, chill charger, water sprayer and intake cryogen chamber tomorrow in the mail. Will post more pics when it's all completed and a video of how it works!!!!!!!

 

Thanks for posting your progress. I would like to hear back from you after it is all buttoned up and running. Are you datalogging or dynoing before and after?

 

I will be running a dyno with my dual intake both with and w/o cry02.

I think I will need to get a Multi-Tune for the winter months especially once I get my 62mm pulley as well so I can save multiple tunes.

From there I'm gonna need an UltraGauge Automotive Information Center and OBDII Scan Tool to monitor IAT's and AFR's.

I "should" be getting my intercooler sprayer and fuel bar today so if all goes well I'll have everything installed over the weekend!!!

 

Like the install but can I recommend you cover that stainless line up with a plastic sheath, split loom or tape. Stainless hose is great for looks, line pressure and longevity but it really tears apart anything it comes in contact with due to vibrations in the car.

As for the multi-tune thing, please get that out of your head. I have one I'll give you along with a bottle of jack so you can drink your sorrows away when you have to buy a new ECU because that thing toasted your original. I'm not trying to bust your ***** but I can tell you what's good for these cars and what's not and that is definitely not.

Have a safe weekend

 

Yea, I won't be getting the multi tune. This is my daily driver though so the only reason I would want it is so I could add a shot of nitrous while being able to switch pulley's out on the fly for drag racing, without having to re-dyno.

But that's probably never going to happen. But you can still send me that and a bottle of jack, because if I spend too much more time on my car, my gf might end up leaving me...

 

You shouldn't need to change the pulleys out between daily driving and the track. If you get it tuned right, it'll be good for all conditions. If you're gonna run a decent shot of nitrous, you'll need to compensate with a lot more than just a tune or you'll be picking up pieces of your engine off the track. As for the girlfriend, don't let your modding mess that up; they're a free ride home if you wreck something at the track. LOL

Take care

 

I've finally gone and done it... Everything is hooked up to the Cry02 system. Arming switch, prime switch, solenoid, intake cryogenic bulb, cryogenic fuel bar, cryogenic intercooler sprayer, all tubing, tank mounted. Verified and tested, she works. I haven't connected the fuel line to the fuel bar because I need a male to male -6AN to -6AN fitting, which I will get tomorrow. I will then be doing a full coolant flush and tomorrow night when it's cool, I'll freeze her and take her for a spin, on video. I will be sure to post the video tomorrow night if all goes according to plan

Here are some pics.


This is an overall shot of the engine, keep in mind the fuel bar is only connected to the CRY02 right now and not the fuel line itself. It will be housed in between the driver side intake and the heat shielding, where the plastic part of the fuel line connects to the rubber hose that connects to the fuel rail.

Here is about how the fuel bar will look when it is connected to the fuel line.

IMG_1158.jpg

Here is a picture of the Solenoid and the Intake Bulb, going through the T splitter at the throttle body for maximum intake cooling.

IMG_1157.jpg

If you look real close at the hole, you can see the hose with the blue fitting connecting to the intercooler sprayer.

IMG_1148.jpg

Here is a closeup, inside of the hole, showing the intercooler sprayer connected to the heat exchanger.

IMG_1144.jpg

Finally, here are the switches. There are absolutely no visible wires or cables anywhere inside the car. Only in the back where it comes out of the firewall into the tank and in the engine bay itself.

IMG_1163.jpg

The left switch is the arm switch. This prevents from accidental activation of the prime switch. On the right side, there are two red switches. The left switch will be for my "water sprayer" to spray the intercooler with water before freezing it with Cry02. The right side is the "Prime" switch, which opens the solenoid and begins releasing C02 into the rest of the system.

 

Good work Jiggy. FYI, the fuel rail is not AN connection. It is called a Komatsu thread and it has a 30 degree cone. It was tricky to find these fittings. I had luck with a company here called Pirtek.

I see. That explains the weird rubber hose in between the plastic fuel line and the fuel rail. Where the fuel like connects to the rubbwr hose, it is -6 AN, and that is where I will be installing the fuel bar. I don't think I will have to worry about the komatsu connection.

 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you're gonna be cutting and crimping that hose. The test port on the end of the fuel rail is what Tuna is talking about and the other is funky connector I have yet to find anywhere. Thought about making some back when I wanted to run nitrous but after I priced them out at a few job shops, I figured out it was just cheaper to run a whole new fuel line from front to back and that would be better for what I wanted anyways.

 

Well, the female ports in the fuel bar are -6AN and i was already able to connect the male bolt on the fuel line to the female port on the fuel bar... So where the plastic line connects to the rubber hose (NOT where the hose connects to te fuel rail), those connections are -6AN... Unless my car already had mods but with only 10k miles on it when I got it, I'm doubtful.

 

The fuel inlet is a size 6 Komatsu fitting. It's like JIC but has a 30 degree cone. A -6AN will leak dude, careful.

 

I get it now, you spliced in at the firewall.

 

I got the -6 AN to -6 AN "Coned Union Adapter" today...




Installed her and everything bolted up nice, easy and clean!!! At first I thought I heard a very small leak but then I realized it was coming from the throttle body. After I put my intake on I cleaned her up real nice and took her around for a spin before I came back and checked her out.

Absolutely fresh! Not a single fume of gas. It worked out real nice! Except for the fact that, I'm out of C02. I found a place that fills it up for 1$ a pound and my tank fits 14 lbs but they only charge me 10$, so it works out pretty sweet! I'll post a video soon enough... I promise. Just gotta make sure everything is fantabulous!!!

Here's a pic of how the fuel bar ended up being mounted to the fuel line in between the rubber hose and the plastic line.

I'm glad it's working for you but I see you're using pipe tape on those connections and that is a HUGE no-no on these fittings. I'm only saying this as I'd hate to hear that something bad happened and with that being directly above the driver side exhaust manifold, it would sure spell disaster if it ever developed a leak.

 

the teflon tape is preventing the leaks now but will dissolve and then serious trouble
those fittings are meant to seal metal to metal

 

Any updates on this? I haven't seen anything here on the forum from the OP in over a month. Hope nothing happened.

Take care

 

I got to class late and my dog eat my idler pulley.

Can you tell me what is being cooled, I think you doing the fuel line, H/e CORE, AND some lines run into the intake, but that one has me puzzled. Please break me out on the finer points. Thanks, Woody

 

Hey guys, sorry that I haven't updated

I took the fuel bar apart and removed the teflon tape.

Still no leaks.

I have a cryogenic bulb inside the Tee of my custom dual cai (-80C cooling at the throttle body), which then goes to the fuel bar, which then goes to the intercooler sprayer. (mounted on my h/e)

I also added a water sprayer to the h/e.

I have been broke as a joke lately and jobless worrying about my car payment though so I haven't been using it much hehe. But once things pick up again for me I'll go refill the tank with liquid c02 and post a video.

Keep in mind each 10 lb tank only lasts about 3 minutes of spray time, each drag run takes about 20 secs of spray to reach ideal cooling temps. So each 10$ fillup (1$ per lb) only nets me about 6 1/4 runs.

I kinda wish I would have got a pulley instead, I would have netted more of a gain, but that's not to say that this isn't a huge help, it just means that it's not as big as an upgrade as stock to c3 pulley lol

I'm still alive folks.

 

have a cryogenic bulb inside the Tee of my custom dual cai (-80C cooling at the throttle body),

Could you give us some relative cooling as seen at the IAT readings?? Is it going to develop Ice when at -80, something that air planes have issues with at altitude.

Would it be better to cool at the wye pipe after the intercooler?? What is the shape and size of the bulb, or is there a photo

Thanks for the info, Woody
