Pathtoyorsoul Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Ooo man. I've looked on and off for years for a scoop I thought wasn't over the top but added aggression and was cleanly enough made. Madrig my man, you've made a masterpiece. I'll hopefully be in touch here soon about purchasing one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traildogck Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I liked them so much, I got one of each car. Every time I look out my windscreen or approach my car, I think about what nice work it it and how it adds just a touch of custom to the hood.

Yea the way to do it if you want color match is but the primered one. Then use this as an excuse to get rock chips in the bumper and hood refinished and it'll look like a brand new car!

SAABaruu Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Does this still count if it's a reverse scoop? Edited January 15, 2020 by SAABaruu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Does this still count if it's a reverse scoop? the race wagon has something similar. If you don't add the ducts from the radiator, all it does is collect rain and leaves. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find any pictures of your setup. Do you mind sharing any? Are you suggesting it wasn't functional in creating a low pressure region to evacuate air out of the engine bay without the use of ducting after the radiator?

Are you suggesting it wasn't functional in creating a low pressure region to evacuate air out of the engine bay without the use of ducting after the radiator? https://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5546802&postcount=704 I am. Read the post above for an alternative viewpoint. I based my reasoning on this video - and on real world testing on a mustang with a similar setup. To actually create a low pressure zone, you'll need to create a sharp vertical dam at the leading edge of the opening. This causes the air to tumble over and create a bit of low pressure. Adding actual ducting from the radiator into the opening will work much better. Before spending money or cutting holes, I'd get a gopro or similar device, a fairly tall/sturdy mounting system for the video camera, a roll of yarn in a color that contrasts strongly with your body paint, and some blue painters tape. Now tape 3 inche pieces of yarn sll over the front of your car. Mount the video unit in such a manner so you can see the yarn move without unduly influencing it. Now drive a test loop that is representative of your predominant driving style. Watch video. See how the yarn moves. Any pieces that didn't move are in a dead zone. Any yarn that streams straight back is clean air. Yarn that faces forward or wildly vibrates is a problem. Once you have figured out how to get all the string in the area where you want to put in the reverse scoop to be straight back, use tape and cardboard to create a lip. Add yarn on either side and the ends. Drive your test route. Watch the video. You can use an app called racerender2 (the 2 is important) on windows to sync 2 or more videos. If you have a tactrix setup, you can dump data into racerender2 so you know the speeds, too. Repeat until you get an ideal yarn pattern. If you have access to CFD and a 3d mesh of the front of your car, you can skip some of these peat/repeat steps. MagnusonSubie used his wagon for some yarn testing one afternoon. https://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5640123&postcount=771 and several posts after that represented 3 plus hours of taping and filming. And many more hours of video study. I removed the big wing from the top of the car. Had been making plans for something radical off the tailgate but never finished the design before my carbon fiber connection went away. As always, it's your car. do what you want. Ymmv.

SAABaruu Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Thanks. Looking at that first large hood vent, it could benefit from being further forwards imo and those rear vents are in some of the highest pressure regions period. I guess my photo was a bit misleading in that I would prefer to mount the extractor as far forwards as possible, even removing the hood latch if necessary. I realize the leading edge on this extractor is not aggressive but it's a street car and I don't want it to appear too out of the norm or home brewed.

Its not always pretty, as air only flows one direction. Also the edge that attaches to the hood causes the air flow to trip instead of flow smoothly. Rather than cut your hood, ping Madrig. He's looking for a hood...i'm guessing we'll be seeing a cf hood with custom scoops shortly. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad the 08-09 outback has a completely different front end. That extendable steering wheel though is so nice on my short arms.
