Just put a big block of ice in front of your intake.

Thats what I want to see. I want to see someone build a mini freezer cooling box thingy. Hell, if it worked that would be beautiful but... I doubt it can be done without pulling too much power.

That is (I am guessing) why "electric turbo" never work. I guess it takes more power to make consistent PSI than you get back... or something... I'm tired.

well read up on thermodynamics. that will set you guys straight on why stupid crap like that doesnt work. albeit its a cool idea (no pun intended), a freezer box would be a cool thing to see on an intake. I would like to try one of those elecrtic "superchargers"... anything that helps the KA's asthma would really do some good dont you think?

Ive seen people use "dry-ice" on there intercooler and intake before dyno runs and stuff. Speaking of which, this guy's 240sr hit 515whp on the dyno yesterday. He was running so much boost.

Fouz never came back to say how well that RAM AIR that he built worked... Im really interested in how that went. I was thinking about doing it to mine, but with the box. I already have the K&N Filter in it, just to figure out how to RAM AIR it. Maybe i can build a piece for the bottom of the box, that is wide up top, and goes down to the hose into the ram air.... hmmmm maybe i will build that... you think it would work?
