Need some opinions, for this.... Options

[toon1]

I am creating a mold for an air intake scoop that will mount on the B pilliar.

My intention is to keep things close as possible to the stock look. I also wanted something that I could remove if need be( that's why I decided not to go with fender scoops).

With this preliminary setup( pictured), I am not sure if it will scoop enough air. it stands off about 2" from the pilliar.

The other option is to make the outside somewhat round, similar to the top scoops of a Bugatti.

I'm also open to all other ideas.

Thank's, Keith

Try naca ducts in the rear of the rocker panel with a hose running up through the tin.

how are you going to get the air to the engine? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

you know that the sail panels are a structural part of your rollbar, right?

Hi Keith,

This idea has been tried before, with some success. Check out this link:

I have seen the NACA ducts on the rockers . I thought this may be more and cleaner air.

I have also seen that article, that's where I got the idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . The scoops in the article seem to stick out quite a bit. I wanted something a bit more inconspicuous.

Andy, My original idea was to cut the pilliar and form a duct with sheet metal and pass the air through the pilliar into the engine bay. Taking Your advice with others, I decided against it.

This will be a FG duct that will be added onto the outside and routed into the holes on either side of the rain tray.
