I actually left the everything on and just (cafefully) Dremel'd the blocked end with the hood off and upside down on saw horses. I did it such that there is a bit of a lip on top directing air down...

Right on, thanks man! I am still happy with the scoop and it's holding up great!

If we don't go camping I will try to stop by during the tuning session at Doug's this weekend. :)

That stumble might be the lack of a IAC connector (often missed when purchasing a used SC'r kit),...

Shot a couple hundred rounds through the 10/22 this weekend while camping. All I have to say is that this thing is awesome! Once the scope was dialed in the rifle was dead-on. It was so quiet that I...

It's good for a documented 5WHP on a supercharged 5VZFE (with proper tuning mods). I hear it's just as good on a N/A 5VZFE.

I keep mine capped during the summer so it draws air in from the fender....

Awesome! Thanks Mike.

I looked through all these threads but didn't see exactly what I was looking for. If I missed it, I'm sorry.

Anyway, it's pretty simple. After someone creates a thread or replies in a thread, it...

Oh yeah, I forgot you had that 1st gen. My bad!

I guess it's possible they have some of those lying around too, but unlikely.

If the family name remained in place, "Toyota" would actually be "Toyoda."

The terms "upper case" and "lower case" actually refer to the type cases used for letterpress printing or typesetting...

I am willing to bet Magnuson has some rebuilt TRD superchargers around. The reason I say that is because they turned mine in a day and unless they're hurting for business (pretty sure they're not),...

How about mounting the FTC behind the passenger side kick panel? My SMT is there.

Initial testing reveals underhood temps to be 5 - 15 degrees cooler on average. My most surprising finding (I didn't expect this) is that the scoop appears to be most beneficial at idle. An example...

LOL! Yes! I am going to swiss-cheese my front end! My wife is like, "Why don't you just run with the hood off?"

Next mod: Z3 fender vents. Thanks Bob! Ha ha ha.

Thanks Steve! It'll be really cool when you get your rig up and running!

Initial temperature testing is in. I am now compiling all the data. One thing is for sure, the hood scoop definitely makes...

Be sure to reset your ECU when you install a part like this. Best method to really clear it is to pull the NEG and step on the brake for 10 seconds.

Just when I thought my desire to live and raise a family in northern CO was subsiding, you guys go and post pictures like this. Argh! Awesome pics!

Me too. Here in the Sonoran Desert I have always used what the manufacturer recommends; 5W-30 Mobil Synthetic. Never had an oil-related issue. I run this in my 4Runner (97K miles) and our Accord...

Thanks guys! I can't wait to get it out of the garage either. Here's a pic since we are on page 4 now...

Well, it's definitely different! I am going to have to let it grow on me. Also, I need to get it out of the garage and take some pics. Thoughts?

Travis-

My wife works for Charles Schwab. Interested? Shoot me an email.

No, it was sprayed thin, so that won't be an issue. Good question though.

They sprayed along the edge and I had previously primed it (black) so there should be no issue with the color showing.

Thanks guys. I should have it on by tonight. :)

That just plain sucks. Who's QA department screwed that one up? :)

I am so happy I went with Line-X on the hood. Not only did it get rid of the scratches, but it also came out awesome. I will probably start a new thread once it's installed on my rig because I will...

Hater! :)
