It uses the A/C to cool some liquid, then when you push a button it dumps it into the intercooler for a power boost. Interesting.

Chattaboy and you already have an intake setup that is similar, plus it is pretty much the same as mine. Just different filters. I will really need someone that has a CTA and BAT intake pipe. That way I will be able to find out how much I will need to adjust the length. Oh yeah! I just got finished with cutting out and shaping 4 new pieces and I think I am really going to like this one. I don't want to use the screws on this one, rather I would like to use the aluminum rivets. I was not able to get them last weekend, nor does it look like I will be able to get them this weekend. So, it may take me sometime getting the rivet gun and rivets. I know there cheap, but... I'm out of a job now... remember. Just be patient with me guys. I'm sure everyone will be really happy with this prototype. I was going to take some pictures of the pieces I cut and pounded on today, but it seems that the batteries in the digicam are dead, so... I will have to look around the house for some more. Phillip Jackson `98 Mystique LS 262K+ and counting... ATX rebuilt @ 151K "This storm has broken me, my only friend!" RIP Dime

I'd like to see how your project turns out, &, when I finally get to race him, Eric will need all the advantages he can get to beat me on the track. Really. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Now, bear in mind that the light is not the best in the world, so they did not turn out just really great and I hope to take some better ones tomorrow, but I just wanted to be sure to let you guys know that I am really working on this thing... This should give you a decent idea of the overall angels I am going for. This is the firewall side of the sheild. Another shot of the same piece. I guess you get the idea by now. This gives you an idea of about how wide the folds are. What size rivets do you guys think I should use here? I was thinking of using 3/16, that way if they are too small I could easily go up to 5/16 if need be. Here's another shot of what inner seems will look like. No! That is not rust you see there. I spilt a diet coke... Just a simple shot of the back. Sorry again about the poor picture quality. Phillip Jackson `98 Mystique LS 262K+ and counting...

The purpose of these filters is to snag more air, but if we stick it in a box just like the stock filter, isn't it still grabbing the same amount of air? Unisys, how's it coming along?
