my homemade scoop

ontopofm · 03-13-2008, 02:57 PM

give it a week or two as more people have it on their cars and report back if there is any changes in temp, currently im off work for 5 weeks so i dont drive much anymore to see the difference

How about someone do the TP test again with and without the scoops? Not exactly a sensitive test but it might be interesting.

There will definitally be more people with them within the next couple weeks. I am going to be making some sets this weekend and selling them on a "different" site....

The ones I am making will come painted in a color of your choosing and shipped to your door....

ontopofm · 03-13-2008, 03:30 PM

nice, it might not need to be painted bcuz it's very hard to see inside there, that's just me
please do post a pic up when you're done

I think you owe ontopofm (phuc) a commission for his idea

lol....

If you check the "other" site, I have been talking about making these for a while. I havent gotten around to it because I work around 60hrs a week and I am too tired to mess with the stuff once I get home.

The design I had drawn out was very similar to this one as well...

Good job on it regardless Phuc!

Did anyone bother to check ambient air temp in the engine bay before and after this mod has been done. How much is this really gunna affect the air temp? My guess is next to nothing and you aren't gunna see any improvement of any kind...

Errrrrr.....for that price why not try it?

Mattscott · 03-13-2008, 07:57 PM

Yeah $1 wasted damn it, You waste more then that on a spilt red bull or coffee while doing a different job

cn555ic · 03-13-2008, 08:04 PM

always someone shooting something down without even trying it...But if they paid an arm and a leg for it, then to them it has to work!!!! lolol

lol....so true....

200Duece · 03-13-2008, 10:10 PM

I'd rather spend the money and time wasted on gas and driving. To each his own. I don't logically see any gain from the mod for it to have any effect. There is no cosmetic change, no perfomance gain, nothing to gain at all. Why do we mod our cars???

No one has done tests so we are not sure if it provides gains or not....

200Duece · 03-13-2008, 10:12 PM

You guys want to get a free performance mod. Try playing with air pressures in your tires to get a better handling car. Won't cost you a dime and I guarantee that you see a gain from a proper set up...

200Duece · 03-13-2008, 10:14 PM

You are not going to get any kind of gain from adding a tiny bit of cooler air to an open intake inside a engine bay of a turbo charged car.

Ok. Can you show me the tests that you have done?

ontopofm · 03-13-2008, 10:15 PM

im calling for O-CHA to chime in, i did this mod to support my snorkel mod bcuz he kinda shot down the snorkel mod

Why the hell is it that whenever I click these types of threads the timing is always like this lol? But yea I'm sure it will send more air through the snorkel, not hundreds of CFM more, but more. Problem is it's still mixing with hot air after coming in. Because of this, a heat shield is the best option, period. I had plans on cutting my UR about where the logic is and giving it a heatshield from the rest of the bay long before they came out with their "design" (which I had hoped was exactly that, where they placed the filter + heatshield).

Sure I did it back in a chem class in 6th grade. You may have too. It's called a dilution calculation. you take a whole lot of one and add the tiniest bit of something esle and you pretty much left with the first thing.

Errrr...

I will have some test results soon rather then depending of 6th grade logic....

200Duece · 03-13-2008, 10:28 PM

The simple logic always works the best. Let me know how the test results work out. Do me a personal favor and keep track of the time that you are going to invest into these test to prove my 6th grade logic unsatisfying.

Are you smarter than a 6th Grader?
