WAI to CAI mod

Ok, I'm looking at my Cosmo and comparing it to the picture of a K&N CAI, the big difference seems to me to be the box trapping cold air from the "Air Duct"

That seems like a pretty easy thing to replicate, given all the space in that area.

Has anyone tried making one before or is any member making a peice like this to sell or is interested?

I'm thinking it might be possible to cut up the factory filter box to trap the air around it, but i don't wanna cut up my factory box, as if by some odd twist of fate I need to put that system back on again.

I'm afraid of fiber glassing, especially in an engine compartment so Im not sure about how to make a home made one.

Currently I have screwed that curved piece of pipe from the factory duct into where it just slid in, becuase it makes it end right by the filter, I did this on the theory it would dump that cold air by the filter and be sucked in.

Dude,
This is another one of your eff ups. Please try and explain into DETAIL what the hell you are trying to say, or provide pictures with your post. That way maybe some one can decipher what you are truly saying.

However; from what I have read, no this is not the same thing. Your filter would still be in the engine bay collecting warm air, just not as much if you were to have the 'heat shield' attached to the filter.

TAKEN WORD FOR WORD FROM

http://sites.google.com/site/aleromo...m-2/air-intake

Bypass Valve
If you're afraid that, with your cold air intake setup, you will inadvertently suck up water and hydrolock your engine, you can purchase the AEM Bypass Valve for peace of mind. What happens is when water begins to suck up the intake piping, the bypass valve opens from sensing the added vacuum, and allows the intake air to be supplied from the engine bay until the cold air intake's filter area is out of water.

Realize that in order to suck up water into your engine, the end of the intake piping must be completely submerged in a pool of water and remain there long enough for it to suck up a massive amount through the piping into the engine. So if you regularly drive through 1.5 feet of water, this is for you.

What do you mean how much air?
Short ram...(Filter can be seen under the hood) takes the air that the engine gives off, which is warm, hence warm air. By having it near the fender it sucks cool air from the outside.

Aleroracing,
you putting me on your ignore list isn't going to bother anybody but you. Maybe if you would read the postings UNTIL YOU DID understand them, you wouldn't get flamed as much as you do.

well the filter currently is receiving air from the engine compartment and air coming through the duct, i havent seen the workings of the duct or paid enough attention to it to know at the moment, where and how air enter into it at, but i want to know if more air comes into there (like is there an ample even steady air current through there?)

Dude the difference is minimal. WAI, CAI, it all gets heated up when it travels through the piping into the manifold and into the head anyway.
