Re: Weird intake Idea

It'd work, but probably not to your benefit. The weight added to the front of your car, the time it would take to mount a piece that's not meant to be there, and the money it would take to buy the intercooler would cancel any interest I would have.

I take it you want the cold air, but don't want to suck up water from the laket hat you live in. I'm guessing your lake isn't hood height, and that a short air intake would work fine. What I would rather do, is make a box that encapsulates your intake filter so as to deflect engine heat, then run a tube from the bottom of that box into a place that can access cold air. As long as your box isn't air tight, you wont suck up water.
