Is there a vented hood scoop insert still available? I know re made one but didnt shine make it to at one time? Any knowledge would be great.

 

RE made one, hard to find.

Ive been looking for one too. Last clean one i saw was months ago.

 

Here's the RE vented scoop.


I think another company offered a similar scoop just can't remember right now.

 

Ohhh.... i could possibly use something like that with my vmount to look somewhat sleeper maybe.

 

Unless you cut up the bottom of the hood, that thing won't actually vent much air at all (if any). The opening is way back where the stock intercooler would be, and that's hardly an optimal path for air to take. It's much more likely to flow back past the engines/transmission.

 

That is a pic of my hood scoop vent. When you remove the stock vent there are two holes already there so you don't need to cut the stock hood. The vent is forward of the pullies. When you look down through the vent on my car I can see my electric fan motor on my rad.


I got mine from 87GTR from a group by a few years ago.

 

If any one is interested in this....Send me your OEM scoop and once i'm done with the prototype and mold i'll send you a free fiberglass or CF piece. Then we could start a GB if there's a lot of interest if not i'll just stock a couple at a time.

This won't be 100% the same as the above but similar.

I can send you my stock one. Do you have a pic of some kind of what you where thinking about making up?


Let me know if you need my stock scoop.

 

Just like post 3 similar but not exact bc im starting from scratch.

I'm talking to some one right now about loaning a OEM scoop if it doesn't work out i'll post on here or let you know if you still want to loan yours.

Ill buy one as long as they remain tastefull in design, and are functional.

 

i just bought one got it for a steal as well ....... i like it lots works excellent.

how much would the price be?

hybrid

 

@moe make sure the thread ends up in the gb section so it's easy to find!

 

There's a 4 slot version of the above pictured RE-a reverse scoop floating around. Personally just that extra slot makes the whole scoop look lame for some reason
aesthetically.Might be better to consider making a copy of it then changing it around.Anyways that's my 2 cents worth.

 

Im down for a re-a copy. I dont want some weird looking ****.

 

i have a customer who is interested in the scoop, since it's so difficult to get the RE amemiya you have another customer if you get it done.

similar 150 bucks ?



nvm its sold

 

It will be a copy of the re-a but I'm copying the design to the metal version so once I make the mold fitment should be good. Making a fiberglass mold off of a fiberglass part is no good fitment wise.

This will be reasonably priced estimate to be around $140-$160 for FG and $180-$200 for CF. I'll let every one know the exact price once I receive the oem piece to work on.(should be soon)

Will leave this thread here for now bc I'm not sure if I'll do a gb or just start selling it.

Pm me when you get details

 

Im down for fiberglass.

 

I'm down with the opp.

 

Cool.....ill definitely buy a fiberglass one for that price if its tasteful

 

Still looking for a OEM scoop PM me, last person hasn't contacted me yet.

Just letting everyone know i am working on this. I had the original OEM scoop for a couple months now but only recently started working on it.

Trying my best to replicate it by going off of this picture.

Here's what i got done so far.


This is a rough prototype. The last slot will be angled like the rest.

 

looks good

 

Looks promising.
