The front part of the scoop still looks stuck on, bob.

Anything w/ a Scoop on it..Im throwing a Turbo on it in June and I want something w/ a Vent or Scoop on it...CARBON FIBER 2@!!

katch

so it seems to be everyone likes the scoop where the intake will sit.What would you guys think of the TC had a "top secret" style hood?

katch

can someone please post a pic of a TC engine bay with a intake.

Damn, I really like the Evo 8's hood. Oh well.

Katch, what about a TRD style hood that was available on the MKIV Supra. I've always been a fan of the TRD hood, it's not wild, just simple with simple vents....IMO

maximus96

how would these vents work in the rain? will the water damage anything? how about when washing the car and spraying it with a garden hose?

katch

when I said evo hood I ment the "vis" evo that has about four vents.

I've said it before in the appearance forums, but I'd love to see something similar to the hood on the current Celicas. Or, something like a WRX hood...basically something with a real (not bolt-on crud) functional hood scoop, like a lot of other people seem to be interested in Center scoop though for me, not offset.

I've always liked the scoop on the 04 mustang gt's



How the hood goes down and into the scoop. Not sure how good a similar one would look on a tC though.

tCtunerZ

Its hard to say without seeing the Supercharger... There are so many vents or looks you can go with that will fit the tC.



The AM style hood and smaller vented KIT style fenders. The xB with Celica hood scoop looked really clean. KAEON... got any eye candy??

Somnambulated

Actually, I think that would be a really clean look on the tC.

And please stay away from ideas like the white Beamer on the first page of the thread. It looks like someone fiberglassed an air duct from their central heating onto the hood of their car.

If U do, do this make it look even..dont just put it on the right side of the hood, put em on the left.make it look even..

fiskadoro

am i like the only one here who thinks a carbon fiber hood with NO hood scoop would be nice - in the same kind of style as the b-pillar applique?

katch

so does any one have pix of a tc engine bay.

erc

An OEM style CF hood already exists.

Lots of people have vented hoods. Snow/water doesn't hurt anything, in fact, I've cleaned out my engine bay on my other cars plenty of times and rinsed it off with water from a hose. No big deal. My Celica (see pictures below) has sat through heavy snow storms in northern Maine.. got some snow under the hood, no problems.

I definatly dig the TRD MKIV Supra hood. I'd be very happy with something like that. With the number of people adding turbos (me included) a good vented hood would be nice to have.

Just another idea: vented hood in the style of the 6th Gen GT-Four Celica?

Here are pics of my old celica with the JDM GT-Four hood and bumper:

It's got an open vent on the top/center of the hood to let cool air in, and two small vents on either side of the hood near the windshield to vent hot air out.

EDIT: I'll try to get pics of the engine bay tonight, but you should be able to find pleny of them all over the internet.

Chaos_Being

I like that hood a lot...I think something like that would look great on the tC!

Streeter

I always wondered what would happen if you had a scoop and went to wash your car in one of those touchless car washes...? Anyone?

And just so everyone knows, I came across a universal weapon R system that can hook up to their original intake. it's a flex tube that can hook up where you get constant air flow making it just like the ram air system in the grand ams. It actually looked pretty cool and functional.

TeamMightyMiniz

the stock tC intake setup is pretty good, If you had a ram air from the hood, you might need to configure a water trap.
