has any one had one fiitted? does it let enough water in to damage engine??

 

Not sure about water problems,but they can mist up your screen as the hot air passes out of the scoop.

 

thanks mit

 

Never had any problems with a misting windscreen, and I've been using one for about 18 months on my track car.

It does however let out huge amounts of heat, as seen by the heat haze when back in the pits.

Well worth it if you do track days or have a high build up of under bonnet heat.

 

i use my car mainly on the road in the intention of using it the odd day on the track, my current scoop which is the the original type r one does let in a bit of water and ive noticed that it effect the coil packs as the car seems to cut out just when i com on boost.i like to drive my car twice a week so di you think it would cause more problems with the rain getting in. i was thinkingof buying the ones of ebay for 85 pounds are they any good is that the right one to buy or do i need to be looking else where????

 

could you post a pic of what it looks like please!

damn that looks good thanks for that

how important is it mark at lateral,ZEN and RCM use it along with a few other cars, however ANDY F doesnt have one on his car and lets be honest he has the fastest scoob going. right!!

 

He ain't winning the time attack thought!

 

Good choice DCR59, have the exact same scoop on my car!

Banny

 

good point but he has the quickest scooby in a stright line

 

AndyF's car currently has a huge top mount intercooler fitted, and he's using an STi 7 scoop from drmotorsport, before that when he had no intercooler he had a reverse scoop from ets racing.

 

cheers lads i will be speaking to ets racing,
