I have not seen this intake before.
I was looking through some of the items on Ebay and saw this.

Re: I have not seen this intake before.
Intersting concept. I am assumin there is a coil inside the airbox to allow for heat exchange. While it would provide cooler air, I wonder how it does with high rpm cfm flow.

Re: I have not seen this intake before.
Wierd, so you have to have the AC on all the time to utilize it!?!

Re: I have not seen this intake before.
Doesn't the AC turn off above a certain speed?

Re: I have not seen this intake before.
Seems like a good idea but does not seem like it would work just right?

Re: I have not seen this intake before.
We're both wrong. Service manual says when TPS is at WOT position, PCM turns off AC relay.
In this case, it seems just when you need it, it is turned off. |

Re: I have not seen this intake before.
We need someone with a Thermodynamics degree to calculate the efficiency gain from using power to cool the intake in order to make more power. Is this a net gain or net loss.
I'm guessing that the gains would be minimal if any at all or else you would have seen this more often. |

Re: I have not seen this intake before.
so lets see.
1) you have to use HP to turn the AC motor 2) have a hot AC Condencer in front of your radiator 3) have no AC in the cabin all for slightly cooler intake temps this is worth money how???? there is a reason its on ebay |

Re: I have not seen this intake before.
Anyone notice the sellers name and location? Could it be DC himself?
