So I know many people have had their word about the non functioning hood scoop, and even functional conversion settups will run over 1000 bucks easy. I have some decent equipment at work and decided to see if I could make my own scoop system.

I combed the internet for a 3D model of the car and came up with a scoop I liked well enough to try. 3D printed it in 2 pieces so its wouldn't take 3 days to print.




After that I bolted it down to the stock scoop and glued the two halves together. Followed up with some sanding, bondo, and paint.





Not too shabby. I was toying with the idea of wrapping it in carbon, or maybe flat black instead.




So that's step one, I have an air path into the hood. Now working on a method of making a mold for the intake ducting. Tried using spray foam to make a relief of the engine space I have to work with but didn't realize it needs oxygen to expand and cure.... After a day it was still just a bag of wet foam haha.




I'll update once I have the duct work inside sorted out.

 

Not bad at all. Nice prototype. It's cool to see people fab stuff and play around with it.

 

Very nice.

 

What ever happened with this? Not a huge fan of the shape of that scoop but I am very interested in the engine intake ducting.

 

This looks awesome! I have been throwing around the idea of at least making the scoop functional but not directing the air flow and letting it do it's own thing once under the bonnet. I just need cool (it's all relative) outside air to get into the intake to give a lower starting point for the IAT's before the tiny turbo superheats the charge air.
