rob_RA40 Forums Junkie Location: c'town, NSW Registered: May 2002	Re: Bonnet Scoop Wed, 27 August 2003 06:07 forcing air into the bay from the top will start to hinder the flow of air comming from the grill. this will make it hard for the air to pass thru your radiator and then pass out the engine bay all together. this will result in higher engine bay temps. u will find that the 'hornet scoop' or 'shakers' are usually there to feed a very heavily breathing V8 engine 4 times in capacity to your engine. WRX style scoops (usually the most popular rice scoop) are functional because they force air over the intercooler which is mounted above the engine. u will find the engine manufacturer has gone to the trouble of designing a way for this air to leave the engine bay aslo. if you are serious about cooling your engine bay u should find out a way to get the air out. a rearward facing bonnet vent is useful in sucking hot air out of the engine bay but hey if u want a scoop for wank factor dont let me stop u. the car looks awesome as it is great choice on wheels mate. but a badly placed scoop in my opinion would ruin the car totally. EDIT for spelling. [Updated on: Wed, 27 August 2003 06:09] [Report message to a moderator]
