NW WA Meet / BS Thread

That's real close to what I was thinking as well. I think it could be done with the stock hood scoop, but you'd have to really open it up a lot. Maybe better done with an 05-11 hood?

It's a neat intake idea, but it not work very well. The hood scoop on our trucks is in a low pressure zone so there would be no ram air affect. Tape some pieces of ribbon to your hood around the scoop and drive around and see how little they move.

 

Yeah it's definitely a dead spot for air flow. You'd maybe have more success with a giant 12" rise scoop like a wrx/sti.

 

It looks like they are pushing it to the front leading edge of the hood. Should have good pressure there. But anything further back and it's pointless.

 

The point isn't a ram air effect at all though, it's an alternative to a snorkel. As long as it isn't so low pressure that I'd lose significant mileage, I'd be fine with it.

 

If only there were some kind of pre made tube like structure you could add to your vehicle. Maybe on the side? That would be in a high-airflow area I think

 

Stop trying to reinvent the wheel!

 

I'll just shut the fuck up then.

 

Have you gone to powder coaster yet?

 

Nope, I like to abandon projects at 90%. Apparently

 

Did you get the new uniball and bushings at least?

 

Yep, everything i need is in a box in the garage. I cant think of a time when I'll be able to get to or from a powder coater thats not south of the city

 

There's going to be a point in the life of this truck where the inner fender is no longer going to be a good breathing place. Other than the snorkel, I'm totally open to other options.

 

Anyone have a stock rear bumper laying around?

 

after removing my fender liners I did this until I got the snorkel.

 

I'm just giving you a hard time. You could do one thru the hood like a hummer.

 

Fuck it, go buy a can of cold galv and pick your favorite color of krylon and go to town.

 

I do but there are a couple dents on it
