Probably not...

But that being said, here are a couple that we have done:

This one feeds air to the cooling fan on a six. It sits about four inches closer to the firewall that a stock six and we wanted to make sure it got plenty of air.

This one feeds air to the intake and fan. I am vintage (as opposed to old) and remember when Formula 5000, F-1 and Can Am cars had high air boxes like this, so while it certainly isn't for everyone, I like the look. This is actually a prototype for a scoop that will feed the intercooler on a turbo race car.

So no, tasteful is right out... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Cheers!

Sorry, but I just saw the huge whale tail too and the two together makes me think Boing 727, just saying '. And I'm not a pilot, unless you consider a 914 is always just taxiing! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Nothing on this thread looks anywhere close to good, or tasteful. IMHO

What about running a channel from the frunk through the cabin, or center tunnel, and into the engine bay?

I've seen images somewhere of a race 914 with a huge duct there the cabin.

I remember that too, but that was to get cooling air to a 914/4 race car engine bay, directly into the cooling fan.

I do remember LONG ago (like when I was looking at chuxter's site) someone made a 1/2 circle plexi piece and mounted it to the trailing edge of their targa top. It was to divert air from just above the targa top - down into the engine cover grill. I can't find a picture of it though.

Sort of like those. But the more "traditional" setup is to run a large piece of HVAC ducting (approximating the diameter of the fan) from the trunk back through the cabin, through the firewall, and terminating at the fan inlet. The air was picked up from the headlight holes--which was due to some racing regs intended for Little Brit Cars that allowed cooling air to be ducted from the headlight openings.

Jmu, I think John Rogers had a setup like what you describe across the back of his roof. I don't recall seeing pictures of it, but he described it in at least a couple of threads on the Bird Board.
