im trying to build my own icebox from what ive seen on the g3 but im having a little trouble ive got the resonator out but im not sure to where to run the pipe to get the best air flow i dont want to run it to low in fear of landing it in a puddle has anyone did this? or have a good idea where to send the pipe i was thinking through the turn signal but im met with metal in the way… any help would be appreciated.
wrong forum, but i’ll help you out anyway. the best thing to do would do something similar to what “tnd2gen” did. do a search and have a look at his car. but anyway, best thing to do is just run a pipe from the bottom of the air box after you remove the resonator, one that has a mild 90 degree bend and attach either, one of those ugly autozone velocity stacks, or one of those things used to vent sub-boxes. they do the same thing. anyway, you wont be able to do much as far as getting a good rush of air without cutting away at a few things on the chassis behind the bumper. even then, it will only be for minimal gains. all that cutting and modifying for an extra hp isn’t worth it to me.
member mugendaxsi had an article in honda tuning a year or so ago, and one of his favorite mods was a bumper light mod that allowed air to go through his bumper light (it looked really good too) and flow air to the air filter on his AEM cold-air intake. search for “mugendaxsi” and it should yield some threads where he has posted his car.
if you really want the air to flow like that, without modifying anything, would be to just remove the bumper lense etc and ride around without it, air will flow through there. cheap and easy, but looks a little funky if you’re riding around with only one bumper light. would save you ALOT of cutting/welding/modifying, all for that extra 1 hp.
if you do perform a mod like this, please keep us posted. i haven’t seen this done on a g2 before. not a proper “icebox” mod anyway. i’ve seen it done with dryer ducting, but that is tacky. best ones i’ve seen are these:

but those are for G3 tegs. be the first to do it proper for a g2.
why not just run a filter on the turbo itself? why mess with more piping?
i dont even think its for a turbo application. i think he is just wanting to do an “icebox” mod on a stock intake system. maybe i’m wrong.
but if you wanted to do an “icebox” style setup on a turbo vehicle would be a huge waste of time. you dont want an enclosed airbox on a turbo vehicle, it would create a huge restriction as far as induction for the turbo. that would do absolutely nothing to cool the air charge going into the turbo. because by the time it enters the turbo, the air charge WILL be warmer due to how fast its moving inside the turbo and how close it is to the “hot” side of the turbo. cooling the air charge BEFORE the turbo is pointless, thats what front mount intercoolers are for 
yah its a nonturbo i wasnt sure where else to put it my bad.
p.s does anyone have any pics without there bumper on???

well, usually the forced induction forum is for cars with forced induction. but i guess to each his own. :shrug: 
pretty much the only way to ensure cooler intake temps is to get the filter shielded from the engine bay…and pretty much the only way to do that is to have it in the fender well. so you’re going to risk sucking up water.
not that it’s happened to very many people here. i’ve got a feeling even on h-t you could count the number of people who’ve hydrolocked due to CAI in the rain on your own body, not counting the ones who didn’t know any better and thought trying to make a tidal wave through a puddle would be fun.
there’s a lot of underlying hints there. good luck. 
i live in a part of texas where the draining systems arnt the best so usually most of the roads have some sort of build up and it doesnt help that my car is lowered so i really dont want to risk that im planing a pretty good build not tacky a little more classy.
might need to invest a couple hundred bucks in a beat-up pick-em-up truck for a daily beater when it’s soggy. 
lol naw ive went from a 00 prelude which was stolen an burned then to my 89 240 then to my beloved teggy i just dont feel right in a truck.
i think you missed a couple important words there. go back and re-read.
You can listen to Armed or…
at your own risk, put in the damn cold air intake, the filter has to be submerged into the water, so there has to be a good amount on the road, and you can purchase a by-pass valve from AEM, or you can try to attempt the ICEBOX mod, that seems pretty straight forward. Good Luck.
I dont think it would be such a bad idea to cool the air into the charge pipe of a FI setup… The less delta temperature you have to cool, the better ? Say its 30 celcius outside and 50 under the hood, im pretty sure that the turbo outlet temperature is gonna be affected even after the air is fried up into the turbine… i’ll do a test this summer, ive got ECUcontrol to log it
minimal gains for a risk. sheild the filter inside the engine bay. you wont see two hp for routing your intake to outside the engine bay.
Why make one when you can buy a nice one for $85??? Plus it will look better then what most of us can make…:rockon: I am surprised that know one knows about it? Either they do and dont metion it or they dont know, one of the two.
always more fun and grateful (i dont know if its the right word, im not an OEM english-speaker :shy: ) to make things on you own
