You can make a scoop that attaches to where the left radiator air deflector goes/is. I cut the deflector apart, grafted a scoop onto it, and reinstalled it. I attached a hose to the back and routed it up to the air filter area. It dumps angled across the length of the filter. Also the airflow pushes back any heat seep from the other side of the heat shield.
It makes a very nice forced, fresh air source to the filter area. When moving my IAT is always at ambient temperature.

Obviously I will be upp'ing to 42# injectors, an INTERCOOLER, and a GT28RLS.
Bout time. Have you figured out an intercooler yet? Someone that lives by you has a setup that will work for you.
About intercoolers, I think an air/air is better for our apps anyways, we don't run drag race cars, but you have to live with what works. Getting a fmic to fit aside, I wonder if modifiing the air dam would work to get air flow to the rad, or maybe pipe some air in?

Even more ludicrous, as geting two sets of pipes to the front is even more of a headache and it'll have lag and pressure drops like a MOFO.
I might look into buying Bronco's Water IC.
I have an FMIC in a box, and am toying with losing the A/C.

Only way of getting an FMIC to fit under the front bumper would be to hack out the entire area where the lower grill is and then throw a restriction in front of the radiator and A/C condenser as well. It really just isn't practical with the piping and space on our cars to even consider it.

Yeah, that may be true. But is it practical to have 396 whp in a front drive Contour?

By practical I meant in the way of it is most likely going to be less efficient than a properly sized water to air unit, take more time and effort to make work, hack the crap out of your car, and most likely cost the same or more by the time you get done fabbing everything.
In regards to 396 being practical, it is useful on a road course when I can keep up with and slowly chase down 03/04 cobras in the top end and outrun most other things on the track in the straights. I'm hoping to post a better number this spring once I get the car tuned and a few other goodies reworked on the intake side of things.
