i'm think of gettin a hood scoop wit a 100bux i got for jcwhitney. i wan the one that actually functions, not just for looks, but my question is has anyone rigged up a """ram air""" sytem type thing wit a hood scoop for a carbed rx7?

 

i forget where i saw this:

 

Autospeed

 

fully functional, added a k&n x-stream air filter for ram air effect

 

The only problem with a ' hood scoop ' ,,one that raises
above the hood line is,,what about water ?? and other crap,, an air box with a water trap is needed, or created.
on my other hood i cut and 'glassed in a NACA duct. since then i've replaced the hood with another hood untill i fab an air box with a water trap.

 

I like that scoop in the pic...what's it called?

 

which pic? theres a naca duct, a custom one, and tII one it looks like

 

If your talking about the picture of the red 7, thats called a NACA duct, it's really a vent in-let, no scoop, flush with the hood line, or any line for that matter.

 

I had a plug for rainy days,
plus it was a k&n filter and wouldnt get ruined when wet.

 

thanks...it was the NACA duct that i was interested in.

 

Alot of guys who drag race rotarys here in FL use the Nissan 300z Turbo hood scoop that sits on the left side of the car,I have seen it on alot of FB,Datsuns,Toyotas or what ever the put a rotary in..
