No bonnet scoop

[webup]

If you install the FMI can you get rid of the bonnet scoop?

[dubbedup]

yeah my plans exactly. same sort of setup.

[nztintin]

less turbo airflow is all i can think that would be harmed.

[dubbedup]

less cooling for the turbo (might matter?)

[Guest boostin]

So remove the rubber seal from the back of the engine bay.

[phatrex]

Air intake is cooler with the scoop putting cold air on the manifold. Even cooler with a bigger scoop!

...beauty is in the eye of the beholder etc! ;D

[DRFVDR]

u can as suggested remove the rubber seal at the rear of the engine bay and also raise the rear of the bonnet a wee bit....

paint the FMI black and there u go all stealth.

and u can sell your bonnet to some wannabe hehhhehhe

[Joker]

removing rubber/raising bonnet at back it even worse than a scoop

Air intake temps being lower with a scoop?

Bullsh1t.

TBH, if wings, scoops and the like are not your cup of tea, i'd suggest you not buy an Impreza...

[nztintin]

buy a wrx, get rid of the mrs, get car hoe\s, problem sorted! :-*

[dubbedup]

lol @ ^^^^

just put in on, at the end of the day its your car....

[Joker]

it's car ho's

Have air intake temp gauge - it's cooler, end of story......

[Guest keltik]

I'd believe it, i imagine a scoop would feck with the airflow through the engine bay. Without one - im assuming theres a greater pressure differential on the front mount and hence better flow through it

Have you measured it without?

[Guest]

turn scoop backwards?

Still expels hot air, looks less chavvy(you have to look hard to see it then) and your mrs might be ok.

Alternatively dump the bitch and rock out with your c0ck out

I've measured it with the small standard V2 scoop, and with the much larger custom. Serious, it makes albeit a small difference, which probably has not much effect for me nanna'ing about the streets, but I expect that couple of degrees would make a difference to a serious track runner. All the cool air rushes over the manifold and back over the turbo / down pipe.

Never measured without a scoop though. Sounds like something to try....

if you have never measured it without the scoop, how do you know it is cooler? or what is it cooler than?

i believe he said hes measured the difference between a v2 scoop and the v8 scoop with slight results

[Johnnynz]

Phatrex scoop now is similar to a v8 STI, as high if not slightly higher, just not as deep.

A lot of extra room for more flow in that scoop compared to v2.

Although wouldnt you get higher pressure forcing air through a smaller gap? although I guess at a certain size it would flow more. I have no idea of how to do the math on it.

I just got the v8 scoop for the look. If theres a bigger gain than loss (its like having a sail on the bonnet, you should see it flap about down pit straight at manfield lol) thats just icing to me.

[nztintin]

my v8 scoop don't move at all, only had it up to 186km\h tho, will see in sept how it handles manfeild.

do you have a carbon bonnet for it to move alot?

[QRAF]

yeah not much room left

had it past 200 and it still holds strong.

Yeah it needs a paint

[BC5RA]

^^That's cool.
