functional hoods

[joka1]

i have cash for everything....


engine, tranny, new hood with some diffrent paint!!!


why else would i run 21 psi on a stock motor?

i am just not going to be around for 3 mths so i havent bought anything yet

 

[Renesis Rising]

Just get a Nova or AMX or Challenger, etc. with a blower... No need for a hood!!! WOOOOO! Hell yeah...

im not sure who u are speaking to

 

[joka1]

he is just talking s***........ my hood is to vent heat and pull heat from the engine while running!! if you dont think it works the sit in my car at a red light.

Vented hoods work better than aftermarket "ram air" type stuff. - Hot air rises, simply rising through the vents and out into the atmosphere.

The reason is that is takes a LOT of R and D in the windtunnels on vehicles to design a correct hood (when it comes to a scoop).

You have to take in to concideration....
Front design of the vehicle, height, engine set up (intake design, etc) and wether or not the hood will actually slow down the vehicle aerodynamically.

It is not as easy as making a big scoop on your hood.

 

[Renesis Rising]

that makes alot of sense..so u think the r and d went into the scoops on the subarus?

 

[joka1]

yes, with the tmic......... i think their scoop is very well designed!

Alot actually. Just look at the intake setup on that engine. That is a perfect example.(first)

 

[Renesis Rising]

aight i think ima have to pull that up on the net...then get mad at mazda for not doing the same.....

 

[joka1]

why, just run a fmic and the hood scoop is out!!!

 

[Renesis Rising]

fmic is expensive no?

 

[joka1]

get mad at mazda all u want, they ran a smic......... suby runs a tmic....... common mod to both is a fmic. so call suby an b**** as well!!! :0

post pics of your hood, I wanna see this painted hood

If I can find a laser blue MSP with low mileage at the end of summer I'll be picking one up and I was just thinking how good it would look with the gemini composites hood painted.

Look at this MSP I found though http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=197377881&dealer_id=573138

This is at night, obviously, and with my phone. I will try to remember to get better pic.s. Left and right side painted along the contour line, then match up with the grill... You get the jist. Yeah, reverse cowl is the poo.

Sweet, low miles and it has a nice exhaust manifold + SRI. Still with the SMIC though. Looks clean.

It sounds like your finished about talking about the function of hood scoops and hood vents but I will still toss out what I know. I got the DGM hood used for $500 cnd. with all of the intake piping. I like the Dgm one because it will draw air from above the hood because it seals to a intake box that holds the air filter. You will get some radiant heat from the engine but you cant do much about that. I really got if for the hope that dropping some weight for autox racing might help. On a +25 day it get hot under the hood and getting some cooler air would not hurt. I heat wrapped all of my intake piping and air box to help as much as I could. DGM says its a Ram hood but that is BS!!!!! Ram air need a positive scoop and you have to be going 100mp mph + to be able to push air in. Having a hood like Joka1 works well when moving so I have been told. The reversed openings create a negative pressure under the hood when air is passed over and this in turn helps draw the air in the front grille and sucks it out the top of the hood.

I hope you found this useful.
