Make 2 and use one for a swamp cooler air con, I'd love to know if it really works. Dryer climates benefit more from swamp coolers than tropical humid or wet places.

Removing the crankcase fumes from going back in the engine via air intake, and fixing a mini pod filter MAY also cool the engine considerably. Some motors dont like it though...
I find that it works very well. Just need instrumentation to verify the IAT and timing. Unless the commute is long you don't need elaborate setup(Keep it simple. KIS) it will work for about an hour on 100+ days. As always your mileage may very.
