Hood scoop
I was wondering since my engine gets so hot and there is nowhere for the intake to get cold air from, would having a hood scoop help keep things cooler? something along the lines of an evo hood?

RE: Hood scoop
i would say a little, it also depends on the air on the outside too. if it's hot then it won't, during the cooler season then it will help some. synthic oil believe it or not, will cool down your engine some, because of less friction. but other than that and some sort or cold air intake...that will cool it down some, but since there's not room. Other than that, it's all i got.

well i run royal purple 10w30 but even when its in the 90's here when i open my hood its so much hotter

RE: Hood scoop
oh and if u've seen the engine bay on a gsx or gst you know there is really no where u can get cold air from

RE: Hood scoop
header heat wrap, turbo heat wrap, intake insulation... these will all keep it cooler under there. i've read in some places that header and turbo wrap can reduce the heat under the hood by like 65%... not sure how true that is but it's a cheap way to stay a lot cooler.

my cold air on my GST is right in front on the pass side, from my turbo.

RE: Hood scoop
id say that a hood scoop is pretty much pointless. I dont see it making all that much of a difference especially performance wise

RE: Hood scoop
it may cool down the out side walls maybe, but doesn't the inside temp counts more than the outside.
