Super Cold Air Intake

Ok, I was doing some research on A/C and Refrigeration history at my A/C classes. And I found out the first "BoxTruck" used Nitrogen (Now Nitrogen is used for cleaning out drain lines / refrigerant - capilary tubes) In a tank. Compressed as a liquid in a container. There was a line that left the tank, through whats called an "evaporator" coil (Where the liquid changes state to a vapor/gas and gets really cold) A fan blows across this coil and cold air was the result.But after it looped through the coil a couple times it simply vented to the outside air.

Now, Ive been thinking of fabricating a miniature version of this for the intake air to run through a small coil that gets very cold. Could decrease your intake air up to 20 degrees (In 80+ degrees F). If its colder outside then it would work even better. Now, granted it would not work as good as nitrous, this can be a permanent setup that would be safe and effective for a stock engine. Refilling nitrogen could be a pain, but you could put it on a switch.

Tell me what you think.
 
They have setups like this that use nitrous or just nitrogen to blow over an intercooler or heat exchanger. I've seen the setup's on summit racing in the past. It's not exactly what you are talking about but close. Honestly for all the parts you would need it would be better off with a 75-100 shot of nitrous. Just my .02.
 
This is all very close to what im describing. Glycol is a great thing :) But im talking about cooling the INTAKE AIR forced through coil(s). More like instant power rather than cooling a turbo or engine itself.

The CryO2 system uses cryogenics to cool intake air and fuel as well as aftercooler devices for forced induction.
 
When the first Gen 2 Lightnings first came out someone came up with a kit for them using the A/C compressor.
