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) |

I'm not really sure if I like the looks or not. My real question is how much air you expect to move into the engine compartment? And I guess, why? I follow Jake Raby's threads pretty close, and his experience seems to demonstrate that a properly running 914 really shouldn't have a cooling problem. Are you trying to correct some cooling problem, or is this more of a project you thought would be cool?
If it's a project for fun, then it's nobody's damn business how it looks (but then again, you did ask (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) . That's your decision. But if it is to correct a cooling problem, I would be very interested in learning more about your perceived problems. Eric Read |
