Hey guys, just after some possible bonnet scoops for my AE92 SX which will soon have a GZE. The mechanics suggested using an early model WRX scoop, he thinks it suits the car...but anyone else have other suggestions?
Thanks.

Whatever you choose don't put a GT4 celica scoop on it!!!
they look shit on anything but a GT4 (they look cool on them though)
IMHO of course.

Ditch the top-mount GZE IC and eliminate the need for a scoop. Put a W/A IC somewhere or go front mount.

I plan to ditch the stock intercooler in the future, can't afford to right now. How do the Water/Air intercoolers work? where can you put them? and can you keep A/C with them?
Thanks.

Then you'd get a reverse scoop (HELL YES!) to SUCK the air out  You'd HAVE to add some flares to the guards to accomodate the extra rubber you'd need for all that extra power - actually bugger it, just add the flares anyway - make sure they're studded, SLR/5000 style!
(is it just me or has NOBODY got any memory of when cars had tasteful appearance? coloured leather - ever seen a blue cow?)

But a bonnet scoop is like a bigger, more effective vent. When driving it would direct cool air onto the intercooler, much more effective than a vent IMHO.

It depends what scoop, it might, but I doubt most would.

What about a factoy Trueno Scoop? They look pretty good and the i/cooler will fit perfectly in it once its modified. But your car isnt a WRX so dont put one on, they look shit!

I was thinking of a Nissan Patrol scoop, you know the ones on the new turbo diesel. Anyone here reckon it would bolt on ok?
