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 Attached image(s)

QUOTE(URY914 @ Jul 1 2008, 12:02 PM)  What is the intent here? -To add cooling to the engine? The scoops won't do a thing to help that. -To look like a MR2 ricer? Done. Sorry, but I don't think much of the idea. To look as much as a ricer as possible! I will eventually have gigantic graphics on the side and a muffler the size of a garbage can! I love it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I kidd of course. The real intention is to get air into the engine bay. I have only seen one of these done. I am not sure if it will work or not. The person who did it( in the link above) said that it helped with the oil temps. he also had it plumbed to the air cleaner. My thought is, if it only gets 25% more air forced into the engine bay, that's 25% more than before. Couldn't hurt Is there any data showing that this won't help? |
