Anyone open up their TRD hood scoop?

I stuck a bunch of those vents from Autozone all over my truck. Engine's running at about 43* F at highway speeds.

 

I don't know much clearance there is from the bottom of the hood to the radiator support, but someone with enough fiberglass skills can make a funnel that leads to the air box with the source of air coming from the scoop. I don't think our scoops will catch much air but it would be pretty cool.

As for cutting the scoop open to cool the engine is funny. A better mod would be to reverse the scoop to let heat out lol.

Here's a picture of a kevlar scoop that led to my stock air box that was really cool.

 

I didn't think it would work. Definitely worked on my s2000 If the scoop was relatively functional I'm sure TRD would have already exploited it.

Kind of like honda's when they used to put wings on top of wings?

 

to late..

 

OP , you do this bad boy yet ?

Where teh pics be at ?

 

You think THIS is a mess? You haven't been around here long enough

 

my drop in replacement air filter supposedly did

 

beware, if left unattended, fake hood scoops multiply

 

did I do it yet? I just started thinking about it, Im not one to go off half cocked and do things willy nilly.....i need to be full cocked before anything gets done

 

Unbolt that biotch and test it out

 

Go drink a few beers and DO IT!



NAOW!!!!

 

^^ searched

Come on!

 

What about pulling the AC hoses out of the firewall and just pumping Max AC into the engine bay ?

 

This was already attempted once by Mr. 2x4

 

Step 1: Get chunk of Iceburg
Step 2: Plasti-Dip Iceburg to engine
Step 3: Enjoy your cooled engine
