Default "AIR CONDITIONED INTAKE?"

Lets say that my car had an air conditioning unit installed, for arguements sake... {it doesn't}.
Instead of routing my cold air into the vents to cool my car, would it not be possible to route it, instead, into the air intake setup?
I'm sure it would put a detrimental demand on the AC, but ideally it would be fun to see if it gave a power increase.
Sounds like I'm blowing a lot of hot air myself. lol
Peace.

it would never work. you couldn't produce enough air from your a/c to fufill the need of the eng. pack it in dry ice.

I didn't mean that the AC would be the only source of air. It would howeverm be incorporated somewhere to allow the engine to draw in cold air. Colder than the regular air it pulls in, even with a CAI.

you could take out the a/c core and some how put that inbetween your maf sensor, and where ever u get your cold air from....if your a/c was really good it could even b 3 degree C air yout sucking in...
thats also if the a/c core would allow enuf air through it

You would lose more hp by hooking up an ac unit in your car then you would gain from the cooler air. If you already had an ac and you were thinking about trying this then you might as well remove the ac unit all together.

Like I said before, get nitrous. It would be cheaper and would give you alot better gains.
