Hi guys!

I've done a bit of reading on WAI and began to think.. I popped open the hood an realized the there is a chunk of space a little above the transmission in frot of the left radiator fan... Here is a pic of the space I'm talking about:

I used to have a a modded CRZ with a takeda intake... After it was totalled I pulled it off and set it aside.

Today I opened up the hood on the Civic and noticed the spot and with a couple of elbows..I should be able to fit the intake facing down.(without the square looking shield.. maybe i'll dremmel it a bit for better WAI effect)

The intake looks like this:

I'm assuming that since it's facing down and close to the engine it should act as a decent WAI in the cold and since it's infront of the radiator fan, It could also off set some of the negativs on WAI in the summer..

I don't know, I'm assuming but don't have much DATA to go off.. what do you guys think?
