ok, i just went and had a look at the MR2 vents (on a MR2). i doubt they would be very beneficial on a 914. they mount flat, they're NOT scoops unless you would mount them in a angle, like 45+ degrees or so. if you mount them flat, they would not push air into the engine compartment. in fact, the air going by would create a under-pressure and suck air out of the engine-comp! even if you run a closed tube from the vent to the air intake, you'd still have the engine sucking against the under-pressure on the outside. not good. now, if someone had a additional scoop-like cover that would go over the vent on the outside, that would work. and probably look pretty stupid ...
just my 2 cents, Andy |
