home made hood scoop

[moe]

have n e one made or thought about cutting a hole in a hood right above your SRI filter and putting some fine mesh to keep crap out.


once i get some money i think im gonna go to a junkyard and try to get just a cheap hood to see what it looks like

i kno u can just buy a new hood but i dont like how they would look on my car with out a body kit or some thing along that line

[starchland]

a few people have done it but abit lower on the hood. the results...not sure

[Cb7GHOST]

why not just get a CAI

[moe]

ya lol i did it in paint real fast and then posted the pic and thought

"damn thats almost at the end of the hood. OPPS"

[starchland]

i think this is a cool idea if you impliment it correctly. definately style points for being unique.

[ExplodingCake]

Make sure you have something to cover while raining.

wellll i would get a CAI but i live in western washington where it rains year round.

i really love being unique and doing things alotta other people havnt done.

ya darkshadow is right the rain will be a bugger with that


EDIT:
maby make a cover that i can screw on and off when it rains and what not

It may cause more harm than good... when moving, the air under the hood isn't much hotter than the outside air. Making a scoop could cause turbulence under the hood, producing any number of undesirable effects. Maybe not, but I don't think it's necessary. Any gains would be minimal anyway.

A better idea would be to fabricate some sort of airbox to cover the SRI filter, with a tube going down into the fenderwell (where the resonator is/was... make sure it's "was") Insulate the box really well, and make sure it's sealed everywhere but at the tube... your SRI will suck in cold air from the fenderwell, but the chances of sucking in water are very unlikely.


OR, just get a CAI with a bypass valve

a bypass vavle is sounding really good. i was just tryin to do some thing different.

how do u make a bypass vavle?

[CB7lx91]

don't make one, ebay sells 'em for around 50 shipped. Make sure the dimensions are right, or make sure it's for a 1990-1993 honda accord.

even if it is mesh covered some water might get in

I too had this idea...put a scoop on there kinda like the older eclipse's used to have on their hoods. But deev may have a point, wind may cause too much movement under the hood. I imagine if you made a tube or channeled the air directly into the intake, that might work, but then youd need a moving, flexible intake for when you open the hood.

I often contemplated getting a CAI and cutting like 3 or 4 inches off the bottom just to be safe. But i like that fender intake idea

[DTaccords85]

I have a cold air intake for like 3 years so you telling me that its been sucking in water whenever it rains?

[F20A CB7]

I always wanted to do this, but not there. I wanted to use a

Roof Scoop

Since they are more slimer than most normal hood scoops.
This Is what i dont like

Heres a Pic.And i would cut a 2.5 in hole on the hood up by the IM, and place Scoop there. Tru short ram intake!
