For one the Throttle bodies on a N/A are reversed.So you would end up making a pipe from the Out of the Intercooler to the AFM just to join up..then you would be hooking the Other side into your Throttle body which requires 2-3 inch adapter,,really,it is just not feasable.
I suggest you look into a true cold air system.Plumb the intake to get cool air.and isolate the intake from engine bay heat.

Reminds me of a pictures thats floating around of a non turbo civic with a fmic as a intake. I actually tracked it down and the guy lost almost 40whp doing it and it was just a test . So as others have sa go turbo or true cold air. Remember cold air doesn't mean just get piping and a breatheable filter. You need a heat exchanger or some type of box to help keep hit ambient air out of it. A open filter in a engine bay is worthless compared to the Oem box intake system.

you want a intercooler that can be used as a air filter huh? well try this...

with the right plumbing, this will be a good CAI

The concept is sound.
The T2 intercooler has a nicely sealed, ducted air path. You could cut the core out of the intercooler, and seal off the bottom with sheet metal. Find an air filter that fits in there.
The problem is that I can't see any way to make it work with the big NA intake. You'd need to use a turbo intake, throttle, etc, which would be a useless downgrade.

The concept is NOT sound. The OP has a N/A engine. The temperature of the air going into the engine can't be reduced with a turbo intercooler (or any heat exchanger) because the intercooler isn't colder than the surrounding air temperature.
If you want to hang a TMIC behind the front bumper cover that's cool. It's your car. Whatever. Don't waste your time trying to bring intake air through a turbo intercooler on a N/A engine. It will reduce intake air velocity and increase throttle response.

it would be better to re route the exhaust piping to bring the unburnt fuel back into the intake. the pressure the exhaust makes is like a turbo. its a cheap way to gain 100hp. you also won't need an air filter anymore since the exhaust is going directly back into the intake...........

The problem with an intercooler on an n/a car is that you have long piping and a pressure changes across the intercooler core. It just makes the engine work harder and throws off any kind of resonance tuning.
