Cool Air
Do you think this will work? I have not had a chance to really test it out but it works in theory.
The problem started when I changed out the factory air box and put the K&N look alike cone filter on. I noticed that my car did not have as much power after the change. The air filter was screaming hot ( hot air can't be good. ) I built a shield from plex-glass to try and get the air cooler. In addition to this I put 2 small scoops under the car and ran a 1in hose to the bottom of the new air box. Both scoops have a water mister just behind the scoop to drop the air temp. With all this work the end result was still a Box ( go figure )
Any suggestions for improvement would be great.

Thanks for the quick response. I will look at trying to seal off the box with something else.
The picture really sucks, you can't really see the hose that the air goes in. It is 1inch hose, I have 2 that go in the bottom of the air box and the one you see on top. The really small hose you see is the water line that feeds the misters.

yeah I'm making my own cold air intake for a turbo right now and I just bought a 15 dollar cold air setup from ebay for a 92-96 prelude. I just cut the piece that goes from the turbo to the afm, when I get my fmic in and ran I will then cut the peice that will go from the afm to the windshield washer bottle location.

Thanks for all the input. I think I will take out the wind shield washer bottle, my only concern is all the stuff you have to do just to clean the air filter.

Hey you're right, looks like the air filter will be shielded from dust. I think I will use the water container and pump that I have been using to mist the scoops for the wind shield washers.
