Cooler more powerful intake charge for improved engine performance

Avon Lake, OH (October 26, 2016)…DEI’s CryO2 Intercooler Sprayer Kit harnesses the super cooling cryogenic properties of CryO2 to dramatically lower intake charge temperatures for more horsepower at lower long term cost than nitrous. Less expensive to purchase and refill than nitrous, this cost effective alternative for a boost in HP can be used for any vehicle including diesels that could use more power for the buck. A non-invasive system, it enhances the thermal transfer ability of the intercooler to lower air temperatures as much as 35% and as low as 50°F.

For turbo or supercharged systems, the sprayer mounts directly to the front of the intercooler and vents CO2 directly onto the cooling fins. The system can be configured to be activated by either a full WOT micro-switch, or controlled manually with a momentary push button. The complete bolt-on kit now offers an optional CryO2 adjustable duration timer switch (Part # 080203) for automatic on/off pulsing and a water sprayer kit (Part # 080140) for even greater I/C efficiency. 

CryO2 Intercooler Sprayer kit includes:

• 10 lb. tank and mounting brackets
• Cryogenic solenoid valve
• 14 ft. stainless steel braided supply line
• Full WOT and arming switches with momentary push button
• CO2 fittings and electrical hardware
• 16” x 5” front-mount intercooler sprayer and hardware
• Stainless steel zip ties

Protects starters and other components from the damaging effect of heat soak.

Avon Lake, Ohio (May 4, 2016) -- Constructed of an aluminized heat reflective material backed with a high temperature rated glass fiber insulation barrier, the new mini DEI Versa Shield™ protects starters and other components from failure due to heat soak. Capable of reflecting radiant heat up to 2000°F and direct heat up to 500°F, this thermal product installs easily and can be trimmed to size.

Its convenient hook and loop closure design allows the shield to wrap around the starter and attach in minutes. Most starters will not require removal. Simply wrap the starter with the aluminized side out, trim length to fit and secure the edges by pressing the black loop material sewn into the material into the sewn in strip of black hook material.

Developed with a universal design to fit most mini sized starters (5.25” wide x 16.5” long) the shield is also ideal for multiple components where heat can affect performance—master cylinders, distributors, fuel pumps and more.

Company is aggressively seeking reps and retailers; will provide comprehensive tools and resources

AVON LAKE, OHIO – June 6, 2016 (MEDIAWIRE) – Design Engineering, Inc. (DEI), foremost developer of thermal tuning and sound control solutions for the automotive aftermarket, announced that it has begun a campaign to better engage with and support specialist retailers in the mobile electronics industry. The goal of the campaign is to enable retailers and technicians to provide enhanced audio vibration control through use of the company’s Boom Mat line of sound-damping products.

As part of the campaign, the Avon Lake, Ohio–based manufacturer is expanding its sales reach with active recruitment of manufacturers’ representatives across the United States and Canada. Through these reps, the company plans to sign mobile electronics retailers to direct accounts, giving them access to the full Boom Mat line as well as its entire catalog of automotive aftermarket products. DEI will also proactively reach out to industry professionals and media with timely product and technical information.

“We are making a strong commitment to the mobile electronics community,” said Mike Zenone, Boom Mat brand manager. “We have a very solid history in the broader automotive aftermarket, and feel our strength is having the most complete product line available for retailers. We look forward to engaging with store owners and installers and showcasing the unique benefits of the Boom Mat brand.”

The Boom Mat line has been improved this year with the introduction of Boom Mat XL damping material. At 4mm thick, it provides superior noise damping while remaining flexible enough to adhere to irregular surfaces. The complementary Boom Mat Spray-On is ideal for reducing unwanted vibration in hard-to-reach areas. The company has also introduced the vehicle-specific sound-deadening headliner for the Jeep Wrangler, with two complete kits covering hard tops from 2007 to 2015.

To support installers, DEI is creating a technical support group through its Facebook page to address questions about application and selection of Boom Mat products for specific installs. The company will continue to expand its online video library to instruct installation technicians as well as promote the benefits of sound-damping and insulation products to consumers.

Retailers and manufacturers’ representatives who are interested can contact Mike Zenone at (800) 264-9472 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Product information can be found at www.boommat.com.
