I understand your theory, the problem is that the volume of air your engine consumes at say 6000 rpm is massive, so you would either need to store the air at high perssures, or in a massive container.
As for reducing your engine bay temperatures, I think this is unlikely, as in order to get anything out of your exhaust, you need somewhere for the heat energy to flow to, so your engine bay would be hotter because you'd need another radiator to dissipate the heat from your exhaust. This radiator would need to dissipate not only the heat from your intake air, but also the heat used to power your refrigeration system. This would likely be another big challenge in engineering your system.
(This is getting further away from my field of expertise, but based on my first year uni thermodynamics, this message seems logical - correct me if I'm wrong.)
