Nobody makes them. There was a place called hotwaterlabs that make an FRP piece that could be molded in. It cost $150. There site is down now.
HotWater Labs ? Maintenance https://www.rx7club.com/1st-gen-gene...-hood-1023373/ |
I guess if you took a t2 hood and was capable of cutting it down to size you could make it work
may just be easier to take a t2 hood scoop and mold it onto a stock FB hood |

Is it to feed an intercooler? If so, even if there is a hood with the scoop it would be blind luck if the placement matched where your cooler is. Either way, if you're going to do it you gotta paint anyway, just get the sawzall out and chuck a tii or other scoop on where you want it.
Of course, I dont want to be presumtuous, but if it isnt feeding anything, all you're doing is making it harder for air to go through your radiator, in which case, it might be worth entertaining the idea of a vented hood which could still look cool while actually being functional, by being cool, literally! |
If you have a t2 intercooler at the top of the engine you can get a subaru scoop and fab
it into the hood. I've seen that done before, looks good and is functional for a t2 swap into an FB. Otherwise do your homework on what kind of ducting you need. |
I don't know why anyone would do this. A front mount is so much better, especially in an FB where you have a lot of space for one.
|
I'm running a supercharger. Was looking at mounting one offset above my carb, but it just doesnt look right off to the side
|
How long have you been running the Camden?
I've tried a few options with mine |
I've had it a couple years. Sounds awesome. What options did you try?
|
|
Otherwise I did a variety of air filters under the hood. A carb hat and cone was a major fail.
This has been the best attention getter of all |
Nice mix of muscle and import

Sorry for my german-english and a little greek Jeff! Better aircooling of the naturally aspirated engine rear, top of the gearbox and RB exhaust. Most rotary fault with rear rotor first depends on waterflow and oilflow direction inside. |
^^^ Hello spirit r, i think i know you from the other site. We corresponded a bit a year or so ago. I understand you're replying to Jeff20B. I don't know him but wonder if he understands german. I can get my girl to decipher for me,she's from your country. Welcome to the site!

It's all greek to me.

I want one just because I like the way it looks. I already have the Mariah front bumper just waiting to be put on.
