Hood Scoop

I'll probably use an enlarged hood scoop from a 2000ish WRX. What do you guys think?



Hope this image links in.

I checked one out on a friends car and the size looks just right. It even has a bypass duct on the right side of the scoop to vent cooling air down on the turbo--Not bad.

And you can get'em for about $180. Some modifications definitely required but not too bad.

Sure wish this thread came back to life.

Scott

p.s. setzep thanks for the info in the pm.

Personally I like the look of the TII scoop better. But that WRX scoop is cool too!

Why a scoop at all? The top-middle of the hood, where the TII FCs have their scoop, is a negative pressure area on the FBs. You'll be pulling engine air out and forward rather than ramming cold air in.

My scoop is off a old turbo Z car(hate them). Its offset to the right of the hood, right above my sidedraft intake.

Search my posts and you might find a picture of it somewhere. I dont have any on hand. Or go to the first gen. picture link and look at Badassrx7's pixs and you will see it on his 81.

I was just thinking about getting the scoop for the pass headlight from mariah. Its like 150 bucks, and no matter your set-up, you can make it functional.

This scoop is for the intercooler, not the engine inlet air.
