In talking with Christian at Modern Garage i told him that i'm
looking for a high-quality cold-air intake and that i knew of a group
of people that would probably be interested in one as well.
Since the present solutions are all under-hood, and we all know how
hot the Turbo compartments get, i've been looking at various
possibilities and the PRM i posted about previously was the closest
to a reasonable solution as i'd found.
This would be a system that would probably fit both a Turbo and non-
Turbo 90-94 with very little change. The resonator would be removed
and replaced with an aluminum or steel tube and necessary fittings.
An adapter for the MAF would be crafted and the tube would make a
long turn into the fender where the resonator usually resides. In
there we'd have the filter, shielded from the elements by the fenders
and plastic guards but well away from the hot underhood air.
The theory is that with the larger tubing, cold-air placement and
long tracts, any damage to the MAF is almost impossible because the
intake tubes will be so long. At the elbow on the fender we'd likely
use the existing bolt-hole to mount a rubber gasket for addes
stability and to keep the MAF from getting any shock.
If i can get enough interest and support, i can take my car in and
have Christian and his fabricator take pictures and measurements and
generally be a guinea pig for the whole thing.
Price would likely be at least $200, as it'll be high-quality and
cold-air. This is a new but very dedicated shop with a skilled staff
and excellent fabricator. Pictures of the product in development
would be supplied for sure.
If i wasn't confident in their abilities i'd never even bother
mentioning it.
So, what do you think? It'd be nice to have at least a half-dozen
people going for it.

Polling interest in high-quality cold-air intake
I have a cold air intake as you have described on my '95 Impreze-2.2
turbo. What I built is not real pretty but it works great. I made
this
after I measured the underhood temp. vs the underfender temp with a
dual channel meter. On a hot day in moderate traffic the underhood
was
181 degrees vs 101 under the fender. I have heard two versions of
what
this temp drop will do to the turbo exhaust temp. One is that one
half
of the inlet temp will show at the exhaust of the turbo and the other
one is from a book on turbos that says that all of the temp reduction
will show up at the exhaust and seems to have the math to prove it.
Anyone know what is true? seems to me that the book is right.

Polling interest in high-quality cold-air intake
Hey Dave, I'm interested, not sure if I have the cash at the moment to pull
it off though. I'm goin to try and rig something I think, but I guess see
if you get any more feedback.

Polling interest in high-quality cold-air intake
Come up with a final price, and I'll let you know. I have to pay 50%
($200US = $300CDN) more, being in Canada, so exact numbers are important.
Chances are though that I'll cough up the cash if this guy does a good job.
I don't mind paying for quality.

Polling interest in high-quality cold-air intake
Hi! A note from an NA guy-this info from Scott @ SPO (& probably only
applies to NA motors)-remove the water separator from the pass side under
the wheel well & cold air from there will enter the stock air box thru the
hole in the fender-also, a K&N filter is highly recommended-the difference
is amazing with no worries about the MAF unless you over-oil the filter
after cleaning like I did (it will sputter until the maf wire clears)-just a
thought-ROD
