Would like to lose the scoop, but not at the expense of causing higher det temps due to a build up of heat when running.

The reason I say this, my mitsubishi Pajero (2.5 TD) has a ducted bonnet, pulling air from the grill to the TMIC, and people with the newer 2.8 TD sometimes fit the older bonnet to get rid of their scoops.

Will the same be possible for a Subaru, and if so, anyone done it ?

TIA

 

i havent seen it done before, but i cant think of any place where you can put a duct, to get a good enough air flow for the tmic

 

I had a look and thought the same ..... But also thought I would ask in here, as you never know.

 

Simple! - fit a front mount! Or maybe swap the car in for an EVO?

A tear duct? for I/C water spray gypsy tears ?

Do not try and shrink me gypsy !

It's actually a good idea, in theory. BUT I reckon for the faff and bollox of doing it you may as well go for a stealth FMIC.

A New age front underbonnet intake pipe to an encapsulated IC lid would be cool, literally

 

the older legacy had a watercooled intercooler,all encased if i remember rightly,see them now and again on ebay.

 

I wanted stealthier than a front mount ....... And not an Evo

 

couldnt u mount something below the bumper to pull air in and run some sort of pipework to the intercooler.

 

the escort td's have a twin layer bonnet sound deaden to flow to the i/c

 

a black front mount
