another intake idea, has anyone tried this?, sounds plausible or not? Options

[xredjokerx]

heres an idea.. first get an sri with heatshield

second, buy one of these off ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyota-Supe...sspagenameZWDVW

then route the tubing so that it goes from the fender area and the tube ends up facing towards the filter.

that would ensure cold air gets to the sri with about 2psi right? but without forcing air into your engine.

would this work?

Why not run that with the filter pointing on the stock tube vent side and the other side run a tub from the bottom of the car. Sounds like a lot more air to me. Then again there are many factors that make a car more powerful. you can get more air but if it can't make use of it, its useless. Only so much air can enter the throttle body and one time. Your ECU will only tell the car how much to go in at a maximum to accept. Air/fuel ratio has to be balanced. Most of all, don't forget tuning the car is a crucial as well.
