Anybody interested in Carbon Fiber parts?

Just counting heads beforei start making moulds!

 

I would take a carbon fiber hood.

 

???



depends on what it is, but yes.

 

how much where you looking to spend for a hood? and which year, also scooped or non-scooped?

 

I would also like a hood 2013 with a functional hood scoop and it depends what you want to charge Carbon Creations will do it for 499.99 with a mesh for the hood scoop if you can beat that you have my business.

 

I think he just means that he doesn't want it to have the boring plastic insert that the stock ones do. He'd rather have one that is open, meshed over, and blows air down onto the airbox/engine cover/heads.

 

Just let it go....you're not going to win any battles with people who want to put more plastic into the 2nd gens....

 

I guess it'd just make him happier to have air needlessly blowing down onto his engine when there is plenty of grill realestate to handle that. But some people really do hate the plastic nonfunctional sport scoop.

I wonder if someone has been crazy enough to build/rig together an intake/airbox that utilizes an open hood scoop. I'd be worked about moisture getting in it. And if you had an open scoop, and a k&n open air box, i'd be afraid that the filter would get wet from the scoop being open (obviously only in rain conditions).

I think i just worry to much. I don't know....i also know nothing about aerodynamics or negtive pressure areas.

 

What kind of parts are we talking about?

 

Center part of the console (Silver part) "might" look good in carbon fiber. Would figure it would be cost prohibitive though.

would a cowl hood work to reduce bay temps?

Id like to keep things cooler under there to help reduce heat soak.

plz keep the intake/hood scoop debate to private messeges or offer a link....... Id hate to see this thread get locked, or anyone get a time out if it gets out of hand.... Its very hard to search through a thread for pertinent info about a product with a bunch of he said she said debating also.

Im not mod, feel free to neg me, Im just asking as a fellow tw member guilty of such crap in the past.

 

A cowl hood might be a little better because you still have a tunnel for forced air flow from the grill, but I believe Tor said his temps were higher when he was running without his hood vs with it on.

 

shit I forgot he ran without the hood...... Ill have to go check his build. Thanks!

 

I remember lurry said something about the engine being able to cool off faster during breaks while out on the trail. But I doubt that conversation is still on here.

 

I have no idea what a carbon fiber hood would cost. Give us a price range. I do not prefer the scoop. Saving weight is always a plus.

 

Yes and I also like having air leave through the hood scoop so it cools better.

I know but I hate the non functional one..
