Hey guys, I just want to see some of your setups on air induction for ITB's. What kinda hood scoops, air boxes, Cowl hoods work the best for a drag car?? I'm running a D16z6 in a 89 hatch on ITB's, and there really isn't much room by the firewall. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

i've been looking for a fiberglass cowl hood for my GSR for a while now with no luck. If you find something please let us know.

 

think outside the box

 

check out Norris Prayoonto's integra... thats a pretty good idea, or Leslie Durst Crx, thast a good Cowl style and they have some kind of sheet metal work inside the engine bay tooif i remmeber correctly

 

my hood is pretty shity so i'm thinking about cutting it to put a cowl on it. I think i've seen them for sale in jegs and jcwhitney

 

bleep used a STI hood scoop backwards on his car, actually didn't look too bad.

 

I have an sti scoop or a stock scoop from a wrx if you want to utilize this setup. And, to add to Brian, Bleeps car i think looked quite badass with that setup

 

hey simon
i picked up a wrx scoop for $60 on ebay. i havent got it on yet, but soon enough. shoot me your email and i will get yah pics when i get it on

 

I already have WRX scoop on my car, but I was more interested in what other people are running, besides that. I'm not sure if the WRX scoop works too good tho. Maybe I need an STI one that's bigger.

i think i mat hack up my hood and install something like this. What you think?

 

That might actually look pretty sick on a Honda. A little too much for me tho.

 

if your looking for a cowl hood and your not afraid of a little fiberglass just cut your hood and fiberglass the side of the cowl u can make it any size / shape you want mini trucks do it all the time i did it to an s10 and it looks really clean im sure you would get a better over all hood as well

 

I think it would be pretty easy to build a cowl hood from your oem hood.

Cut right along the 2 body lines that are there now. Cut the profile you would like to have out of sheet steel.
Weld those at about a 70* angle coming up from the lines that you cut in the hood.
weld the center section back down ontop of the 2 vertical sections. Done, or at least in theory.

 

friends use wrx hoodscoops fabd'd to stock hood / cf / fiberglass hood. it does the job.

 

anyone know a place to buy a cowl to mold onto my hood. Jcwhitney doesnt seem to carry them anymore and the ones i found on ebay are too long. Integra hood is only 39" long

 

If you wanna go ghetto you can pick up a paint tray for the rollers from Wal-Mart, cut the big end off, and mold around that with fiberglass.

 

Hahhahah I actually just recently bought a roller and tray to paint the garage walls, and I've actually thought about using it on the underside of the hood to direct air towards the firewall. But I'm still stuck between Bigger hood scoop, or Cowl induction.....

 

i havent had much luck finding a cowl that will work, so i may have to build one as suggested.

 

Check out summit or Jegs for that cowl piece.

like this one brotha man..
LOL even though i don't have itb's...
i just needed a light hood so i used this one..
i still use it too.

 

dats a real nice hood for itb's.....SUBARU uhh lol

 

i think a cowl hood would be much more effective than that little WRX hood scoop

 

naca ducts are something to think about too.
m.

 

i was going to do this but i rather have a real cowl induction hood.

might try this with my itb setup.
