Ways to improve cold air intake?
Discussion
I have a Fiat Seicento Sporting. The current cold air intake is from piping which goes from the filter, through a sensor box (I think), and then straight down. The end of the pipe is open and faces the ground (not forwards).
I was wondering if there were any ways of getting more air into the engine (like a fan or something), or any ways to possibly protect the intake from sucking up water or debris?
The car also makes a terrible wurring noise when I am reversing or stopped, like it is starting to overheat (but I dont see any change in temperature of the engine).
Any help would be appreciated.

You will have to look at the available routes for the pipe
Perhaps a nacel duct in bonnet or inner wing
No fan will provide enough pressure to make a difference but you may see a small advantage with a ram air effect if duct is in the airflow at the front
Just supplying cool air has a bhp advantage as cool air is more dense and therfore carries more O2 for fuel to burn with

One of the best places to get a ramsir effect is on the scuttle under the windscreen, it's a high pressure area as it's where the air has to change difrection to go up the screen and over the roof, it's also dryer then a forward facing cold air scoop so there is less water to get ont the system before it reaches the filter.
why do you associate a wurring noise with over heating ?

Is your car spi or mpi?
You would get more noticeable difference from a larger throttle body, especially on the spi cars (Standard size 32mm IIRC)
The whirring noise would be the fan kicking in which only tends to happen when you aren't moving. Also how are you seeing any change in temperature? The seicento never had a temperature gauge fitted as standard?
