Making side scoops functional...

[ModularMax]

feel;s so rice when somethings there only for looks if not i might be the first cobra im aware of to take them off

yea they have a twin turbo kit that puts the turbos behind the side scoops.

www.jmsproductsinc.com makes a rear mount turbo system that uses the side scoops. I'm not a huge fan of it, but that's the only thing I know of.

I too am not a fan of our un-functional side scoops. However If you take them off, there will be a hefty amount of work to be done to fill the voids/holes in the sheet metal then have repainted... I think the Bullitt side scoops are smaller and less slapped-on looking.

i'm with george, just get the bullitt scoops

I do like those Bullitt side scoops. Very subtle and have more of a molded in look.

My buddy is fabricator and made his 02 gt side scoops functional. It takes a lot of work but they now cool the rear brakes.

I would like to see how that was done.

I have several friends that race in AI and AIX and they said the scoops don't get enough air for cooling the brakes. They usually use a fan mounted on the inside of the car to get fresh air for the dif coolers.

That turbo in there was insane, never seen that one before.

the scoop doesnt stick out far enough past the boundary layer to scoop in air

you're better off replacing the quarter glass with lexan and a naca duct

or, if you really want rear brake cooling, run the ductwork under the irs and pick up the air from underneath. most of us will never need cooler rear brakes...even the road course nuts among us...

There is a local guy who has hoses running from the side scoops to a Fluidyne rad. in the trunk with twin fans attached to it. It's his heat exchanger. I saw the car again today and he was talking about how his IAT2's are 150*. Doesn't seem to be doing much better than a FMHE and nowhere near a KC.
