What Cryogenic Treatment is & Why You Need It!

In this video Mike sits down with Bentzion BenAmi of CTP, the cryogenic processor we use for all our serious engine and drivetrain builds. They discuss the history of cryogenic treatment, how it works, what parts can benefit from it and why you should consider it for your next engine build and more!

Had no idea that MotoIQ had its own JU-87...
Well Done! Thank you.

Also cryo your cutting tools cnc bits, carbide saw blades, band saw blades, etc. It will double the amount of material it will cut before needing sharpening

Mike has words to say and I'm gonna listen

It is so nice to hear y'all talking about cryogenics! When I was in school back in the 90s this is what I did my thesis on. (The reduction of torsional fracturing through cryogenic tempering)

This video read my mind. I learned about WPC from this channel about a year ago. After that video I was researching Cryo for engine because I remember a tv treated their transmission. Only thing I could find was 12 and 9 year old crummy videos.

Real experts dismantling silly buzzwords. great video!

Learned about this in hot rod class back in 03 at my mechanic school thanks for talking about this

Happy Freezing! LOL This is a great accompaniment to the WPC video, I now understand why you recommend both processes, thanks Mike and Bentzion!

Cryo also dissipates heat extremely well, off-road automatic transmissions run much cooler, radiators virtually anything you want to run cooler🙂

used to cryo our 4g63 in the late 90s . it was a must

Wow this was so interesting stuff...Thanks for sharing this, there is so much what i would want to test my self in my engine....

Do not cryo pressed in iron sleeves in a aluminum block, the block will crack because aluminum will contract more than the iron sleeve.
You can cryo the sleeves and block separately then machine and press in the sleeves.
Cast in sleeves seems to work fine like on Honda stock blocks.
Also don't cryo LS aluminum blocks they are super brittle and usually crack around the sleeves.

Out of curiosity. I remember in the SCC days. You guys used SwainTech coatings on on your builds. It would seem that with the addition of SwainTech coatings to the cryo and WPC’d treated parts, you would just be adding a layer of protection and benefits. A slight added cost, not as much as I thought, but still. Is my thinking correct or is this just a different route to overall engine longevity and additional power?

Btw, Mike Kojima, it was great to meet you during Fan Fest, in CO Springs. Truly an honor. Well done Team Evasive Motorsports!

Excellent interview and a fascinating topic that was once exclusive to race team secrets and the aerospace industry. I think you nailed it with the comparison to heat treating and the little known benefits of cryo-treating. Automotive alloys are definitely a tricky pickle with such a varied spread of materials that will benefit, but others you'd think would and then turn into ticking time bombs if just one step is done a little off. The only way you could tell other than a subtle harmonic difference is under the microscope.

Of course I see this video after WPC finished treating my motor and tranny

Mike! - Can you do a video on a motorsports grade engine vs a built tuner engine? Think pro EVO rally car vs street build.

Where do you buy these freezers? Are they home/company made or purchased?

Also when you close the door on the freezer do you have a gasket to keep the nitrogen from escaping? Does the freezer have an exhaust to release pressure? If so what pressure is best for treatment. Anyway on getting in contact with you? I have many questions.

i Smashed that like button! shared and commented for the algorithm !

[killerdaddy]

I just got cyro today -43 c outside today...😅

Thanks for this video, always wondered about it when you brought it up before 🤙
