Hello Gang
I came across a 04 WRX STi Hood Scoop and looking to install it in to my sleeper sedan and would like to know some opinions in regards to this, in terms of looks my question to you will be will it be possible, will it look good, sick, insane, too radical, crazy, etc?
Also the other idea behind this hood scoop install besides the looks it is performance related because since I have the JRSC BBK installed on the car and since the JRSC is not after cooled like the Powerworks SC, wondering if the hood scoop will help to decrease temperatures on the blower. I know this has being debated a lot specially on the focus fanatics web site where the only real way to provide with a cooler and denser charge is with the use of an after cooler (and I agree as the ultimate and proven solution), but since this hood scoop can cover and can be installed right on top where the JRSC blower, the air intake pipe, the throttle body, the fuel rail and fuel injectors are, it seems like this hood scoop may help a little bit to bring temperatures down, what you guys thing, yes, no, may be? I mean, several bike engines and the first VW bug (and some early Porsches that used the same type of engine years ago) were air cooled and didn't have any radiators to cool the engine. I think the cooling effects on this possible hood scoop install will be more noticeable in Winter.
Let's see what the crowd has to say
Cheers
