Default Official Biggest Intake for Del Sol...I got it

I know its ghetto but this is a mock up I am going to take the measurements and get a mandral bent piece of the exact size so its not so ghetto looking. This is AC Duct tac weld with JBKwik. BTW according to Hondata S300 this thing lowered my IAT's 20 degrees!

possibly inside your wheel well, youll need to extend the hose and wires, unless youve got fmic piping in the way......just a thought

The only thing I am wondering is where is your fan for your radiator.

the radiator fan is on the outside of the radiator as a pusher fan. and i dont think there is any room becuase of the charge pipes. i am thinkin of back near the battery for the overflow...

Thanks I hope it turns out looking alot better as well. I am going to pick up some hoses tonight and try to relocate the overflow to the back near the battery. That should look a lot better there as well. Also, I think I am going to by a new air filter because the one currently on there is pretty screwed up

mandrel bends nothing, just bondo that sucker and hit it with some "chrome" spray paint. That would be so JD-frickin-M tight

Well, I really wish I could say this is a first, but unfortunately... I had a similar setup going on with my 97 prelude (oh how I am glad I crashed it into a tree). I never stopped hearing the jokes.. they asked me if my car was on tumble dry and things like that. but good work man, should look nice when it stainless...
