Question:

What force must be applied to piston a to lift the car?

The car on the hydraulic lift has a weight of 16,170 N. Pison B has a surface area of 5,005 cm^3; piston A has an area of 65 cm^3. What force must be applied to piston A to lift the car?

Answer:

You'd be better off to just fit a turbo charger, better performance that's more constant. Also, what you just described is a nitrous oxide system. *sigh* Nitrous Oxide creates an oxygen rich envrioment, which is exactly. What. You. Just. Described.
No it won't work. Don't you think others would have done it if it was possible? The car runs on a mix of fuel and air. When you come up with the second part of your amazing idea, how to increase the fuel supply to match, then it would work.
16,170 * 65 / 5,005 210N

the idea will not work. The engine will only pull in the amount of air it needs. You aren't going to get extremely cold air from compressed air.
