MaroonDuneDoom Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 just wondering if anybody had installed a hood scoop on their soobie. i'm looking for ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyruss Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 yeah a few of us have made scoops for our cars. I made one out of fiber glass to match my intercooler. kinda a long process. subarutex had a real nice one on his car too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 yeah and Hondasucks will be putting one on his 87 turbowagon here shortly. Maybe I'll put one on my car to help cool the spare tire:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyesore Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Grab yourself an old mailbox, that's what I did! 'course, you may be looking for something a little more asthetically pleasing..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeEyedBandit Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 The stock door pocket works really well to. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 i got my turbo motor down in the wagon, and made up some ductwork so the MAF sits right above the "subaru 4wd turbo"plenum, for a cone filter. i woll be exploring the idea of ahood scoop myself!

Qman Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Heres my Brat with a scoop from a Mustang II. Hood vents I did mine this way for a couple of reasons. First and formost was to relieve heat in the engine compartment while we were in the Sierra's this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmracer Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 This is what I'm going to use. It's a good size, price is right, and it's a bolt on. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=42611&item=2435564142 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 That looks mint Qman. What did you use to cut the hood with? Rotozip? Dremel? Recpricating saw? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyruss Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I used a die grinder with a cut off wheel then cleaned it up with a sanding disc. a nibbler would have been real nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Thanks, I used a 4 1/2" grinder with cut-off wheels. Dremel tool to clean everything up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auction had ended, so I e-mailed them about buying the scoop, out right. Got a reply back saying that they had re-listed the hood scoop. Didn't exactly make my day. I just wanted to by a hood scoop, up front, and across the table. Don't want to "bid" on one. In my opinion, they are out to get as much as possible for it, and not interested in a plain jane sale. Looked on JCWhitney's site for one. They had a few, different styles, different materials, what not. Can't believe what they want for the ABS Plastic ones. Sheesh!!! I work in the Plastic Molding Business. I know there ain't more than $3.00 worth of materials in one, and that's molded, trimmed, boxed, shipped, what have you. And they're asking over $50.00 each. I know, I know. free enterprize and all of that. But still...................................... Ok, I'm done venting now.............................................................

calebz Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Of course he's out to get as much as he can for it.. Thats the whole point of eBay.. I don't end auctions early either. When I sell something on ebay its to get as much as I can for it.. Not to be someones friend.. Note.. The above doesn't necessarily apply to soob parts..

Hondasucks Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 yeah I need to hack out my hood and stick my hood scoop in there, and go find me a WRX I/C, need to have something for that scoop to feed :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 TomRhere: I hear you man. What's sad is you finally do buy an ABS plastic one becuase the fiber glass ones are just stupid expensive, get it in the mail, bust open the box only to find some very drunk individual cut and trimed the thing... I was angry >:| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rguyver Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 my brat scoop for my inter coolerhttp://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RgDKAvkVYRvJ3WBTKUwjo0ykfPcBFE*9wXmwzYBwvVq3TdUqhie5*I2*PRMELiwAGmybwFto*635sqJw*UCYIgCvJ4vDaUtpb6VLDQddFg8/brat.bmp?dc=4675389929588077219 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
