    Yes it does sound intriguing and will have to do more researh on this for my s/c build . So has anyone tried this yet on FWD intercooler or are we strictly talking about having it as part of this custom intake ? I am not a fan of the ATW intercooler and think the weight added and the temp difference kills the whole concept IMO the whole point echos kwhauck's a away to control ambient temp above lets say 60 degs F IMO anything under that may freeze up the system am i getting this wrong?

      thermostat anyone? there is no way the intake is going to freeze up, especially while its on the top intake. its not like it would be hard to setup a temp gauge either.
      Look, i just think its a great idea becuase its so far out there everyone would like to find something wrong with it, and yes there maybe some issues, but there is ALWAYS a way to solve them.

              I wasn't refering to the intake freezing, I was refering to an evaporator iceing over, which it would with R22 going through it, whether it's on top of an engine or not. R22 is some cold stuff!

                  Well, then, the solution is obvious, isn't it? You simply run a dehumidifier ahead of the evaporator unit. That way it gets nothing but dry air.

                    Not exactly an Intake Manifold, but a clever solution nonetheless:

                    I was planning on making similar part till I discovered these, dammit lol.

                      might still be room on the roof beside the A/C

                            NOW we're cooking. Nice work!

                            Anyone have a m90 flange to sit in the middle there?
