I especially agree, in theory, about how the cooler charge with the N2O and CO2 cooled IC air would perhaps be safer due to the lower temps.
One thing to consider though, alloys of the type used for our engines are obviously good at handling the high temps assosiated with combustion. What we dont know(but we will surely find out) is whether it can handle the extreme temperature fluctuations with N2O sprays cooling and combustion heating.
An interesting experiment to test this would be to have 2 experimental groups of cars. The first group would have sub groups that are driven at varying levels(one set run nice, one set run a little rougher, one set being pushed to the limit) all in the same warm climate. The second group would have the same endurance tests performed in a cold climate like up north(idealy one that would simulate as close as possible the cooling effects of these N2O charges and CO2 sprays) and compare they engines afterwards.
You could either run each car until damage was sustained and compare the durabilty under said conditions or you could run the tests for a specified length of time and use diagnostic imaging to see if the alloys had begun to show signs of degradation.
Obviously it wouldn't be exactly the same reproduction as what these engines are experiencing but it would provide some insightful information about how N2O and CO2 might effect the integrity of the engine and other components.
I dont waste time trying to prove anything in my Z... I'm too busy enjoying it. ~ZEN |
