hood scoop pics.


Recommended Posts

I put the finishing touches on my fresh ea82 install and decided to put a 100w Gm alternator, too much beer and me not paying atention, I made the new bracket too tall and the alternator sticks above the hood line about 2 in.

I could have just taken an hr or so and re-done the bracket and gone back to napa for different belts, but I decided to make a hood scoopPhoto_041109_002.jpg

sry for the crappy pics, there from my cell phone. I still have to grind the weld down, bondo, and paint. but it turned out beter than I thought. Plus the alternator sticking up into the driverside scoop looks like a big turbo....:grin:

yea I thought of that, I'm not done yet with them, I'm gonna run a baffle down the underneath of the passengar scoop so that the air dumps down by the transmission, the drivers scoop will be for "looks only since it is clearenced for the alternator. It will be plugged off, but look functional. I'm making an intake that is going to pull fresh air from the hole that the stock aribox pulled from. Thanks for the heads up though

Because of the position of those "hood scoops" they are going to act as VENTS instead. They are right over a low pressure area in the hood. So they are actally going to be venting hot air out rather than stuffing more air into the engine bay.Sorry.

 

If you wanted a "hood scoop" it would have its opening toward back and as close to the cabin air intakes as possible.Right at the windshield is a high pressure area so that is why the intakes for the cabin are there.Same with nascar intakes.
