Just a continuation from the CF induction inserts....

I met with one of the techs at the speed shop tonight and we talked more on the actual design of the under-hood mechanics of the air porting. He pointed me in the direction of those fake intercooler look intakes for imports like Civics and Accords. I did some soul searching online tonight and found just what he was talking about.



This particular one has a reusable filter so it would be pretty ideal as far as it's use. Mounted just under the scoop, the air will flow through the filter (catching much of the debris and moisture!). From there, I need to figure the vaccum line to the airbox. That will just take some simple measurements and fabrication of the line. Actual mounting of the filter box (as shown in pic) to the hood will be the pickle here. That all depends on the space between the hood and the engine. I don't have any measurements on the one above, but if that is too large, one will have to be fabricated. Still, not a difficult task in my opinion.

Anyways, just keeping the few that are interested updated on the brainstorm that has been keeping me up all night tonight. I definately plan on spending some R&D $$$ on this one till I get it right. Hang in there with me.
