: Cyrogenics on car parts?

To make a long story short, I met this guy that works at a place that takes gun barrels, brakes and other wierd shit and freezes them at 320 degrees below zero for 24 hours then slowly takes them out. He showed me a Sherrifs brake rotor they had done a test on. One rotor was used untreated and used for 1 week and was had hairline fractures in it and was all discolored. The one that was treated was used for 8 weeks and looked new. So my question is: If I am getting a turbo soon If I can get this done cheap is it worth it on the manifold or maybe the ic piping or the ic it self? This guy has never really done car parts(besides brakes)so he couldn't tell me if it would work or not.

The only thing I've used it on is stuff like brakes and gears. I don't think your gonna gain anything on a manifold or i/c piping. We've used it on some sprint car parts with good results and a buddy swears buy it on his target guns. Hope this helps.


Oh and by the way your car in the sig looks like a twin of mine sep't it's got the wrong wheels. Saphire blue is the best. Very rare


:D

Thanks. When I get some new rotors I will have them done but I will forget the IC piping and the manifold. Which wheels do you have?
