I've jus bought a wrx/sti bonnet fer mi NON-turbo (Ssshh! dont tell anyone!) Hawkeye, is there any suggestions as what to do with the "hole" under the scoop, apart from from causin the premature rotting of everything underneath, it now serves no purpose wot so ever. All suggestions welcome!! I should warn you I am armed wi a piece of Er! aquired aluminium sheet and am ready to do battle:!!!!!!! cheers folks!

 

Best thing to fill the hole under the scoop would be....




a turbo engine.

 

S'funny, I tried that yesterday, But its such a BIG, engine to fit through that tiny little hole, I gave up in the end!! Guess I'll ave 't' stick wi mi "wipe the floor with ANY car motorbike" snigger. but thanks fer the suggestion!

 

Top mount oil cooler, I've got one !

install the scoop and put some black mesh on the underside of the hole nothing else you can do with a non turbo, this will keep leaves and most of the water from wet days pouring into the hole in the scoop plus still at the same time giving the engine that cooler air going in but will not give you any performance gains on a non turbo engine

 

what about getting a reversed scoop

 

kinda different, sorry about this, the top mount oil cooler is that just a normal oil cooler just fitted there or is it 1 thats made for there

 

Big thanks fer the response peoples, gonna go wi an Ally sheet an try an rig (read butcher) some kinda vent into to it to keep the weather out. The oil cooler is a crackin idea but I dont use mine often (or hard) enough to warrent it.

 

Hyperflow kit see AET-Turbos web-site....

With long enough hoses any kit can be made to fit under the scoop, my problem was a HUGE FMIC, from the same source.

HTH
