$50 Craigslist Score: Toyota Hood w/scoop! (pics inside)

[MTL_4runner]

Heat soak is a huge problem with the TRD supercharger, so if you're SC'd, I think this will help. We have a digital wireless thermometer; I am going to try and rig it up for some same-day testing and see what the data says...

Real data/testing is the only way to put the issue to bed.
Looking forward to see what you come up with.

nice find,, i cut out my cup years ago, just cutting the cup out, adds like 50 HP

you dont need to block out the rain, mines been open for about years, unless you want to keep the engine bay clean.

50HP? i musta used the wrong hardware i only got about 40.

i havent cleaned the engine bay since i did mine, just rinsed off the dirt/dust.

Real temp data will be sweet!

Ric, do you have an trouble with slipping belts from rain getting on the engine? My scoop is closed, but it drips a little when it rains and my belts will howl like a dog when I start it up.

Lastly Slosurfer, how about coming up and giving me hand with my garage!?

Let me check that out and we'll see if it's worth it...

Los Osos, CA to Prince Rupert, BC to catch the ferry: 2026 miles at 22mpg (wishful thinking ) equals 92.1 gallons times 3.40 per gallon average equals $313.14 in fuel. Not bad if you ask me. Then we add in the ferry ticket @ $540 for you and the rig and we get the grand total of $853.14.

I could pay myself for almost 4 days of work to do it myself for that price

You should just do the trip to see the glaciers
