Don't forget that dry ice is solid carbon dioxide and if any of that gets sucked into theair intakes you are effectively extinguishing the detonation.
Nip over to the local flying school and get yourself some avgas.....

May be the best way to place it is not into the airbox but may be inside ...

None of this is really benificial with aspirated engines. The cooling effect just isn't big enough to do much. I know a couple of drag racers that have mucked around with dry ice canisters surrounding a coiled up fuel line to chill the fuel on the way in, and it makes very little difference. Also ...

I imagine it would be quite a waste of time.

/me flips envelope over.

A supersport bike has an airbox volume of about 8L, and cylinder volume of 600mL per cylinder. At 12,000rpm, the engine's spinning 200 times per second. This equates to 100 intake events per cylinder per second. So,

100/sec*0 ...

I read in some rally car article, that a japanese driver - katsuhiko taguchi actually done it, and placed a dry ice close to the air filter. It actually allow the engine to suck more O2 molecule for the same volume of air - therefore it produces more efficient and effective combustion.

Dry Ice in air box - better combustion?

Theoritacly if you have a cool air it will produce better engine combustion. Now what if I put a dry ice (properly contained to avoid being sucked) inside my zx6r air box, shouldn't this do the job and help the engine to have better piston combustion ?As the air flow through it gets suck as a colder ...
