I think it would work for JUST idling temps to keep outside air moving in. Other than that, air is coming in from the outside pretty steady. Even with a "ram air intake" Which is an open filter in teh engine bay i was still recording basically ambient temps while moving.

maybe you should read what i posted which clearly states i was trying to keep cool air in the intake not suck it as a via FI 
hooked on phonics doesn't work for everyone. Although my title, now after I have read it again, is misleading to what my real question was.
It was just an idea that I was curious about and asked to gain some knowledge but I clearly see it just leads to instant bashing.

MineralGrey, do you have access to datalogging software? If so load intake temps noramlly then install the fan idea you had and see if you temp drops. Since no one has honestly done this expirement no one will really know untill some one attempts it and has data to back it up saying, "yes it works, dropped 5 degrees in temperature on a back to back test and heres my data."
Nothing wrong with asking questions, I made a RAI out of 4 inch air ducting but I had to remove my fog light... It helped reduce temps by ~5-7degrees but wasn't worth the loss of my fogs IMO. It was worth the attempt though both in experience and knowledge for the future. Good luck man.
