intake temp.?thought

[HondaCivicEx98]

i guess there is no way beside the water injection to get the temperature down on the SC acura and honda. But i do notice huge diference between ambient temp of 50 to 100 that the car runs alot stronger on lower temp. If we could reduce the temperature on the intake(not after the blower) wouldnt at least help a bit? i mean, if we get a air cooler to locate before the manifold, would that reduce at least the ambient temp that is going into the compressor? i mean, in the summer , the temp can get as high as 100+. if we could get the intake temp down to 50-60, the air that will be compress will be lower as well,wouldnt that help a bit?.
Just a thought.

You need to cool the air after the blower since that is where it is heated. There are other things such as blower inefficiency that lead to the increased air temps. An intercooler or N20 is the only effective way to cool the charge.

I am routing my A/C vents to my intake. Ice cold air, baby!


No, not really...
