Isn't an induction hood the same as an extraction hood? You do realize an induction hood isn't the one with a forward facing scoop right? An induction hood helps pull air out of the engine bay, not catch it and ram it in lke a scoop.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

I personally realize that but worded it like that since most here have always understood it that way (I'm an old dog here). Just so folks understand.
I have a "ram air" scoop (Ala WRX) currently, and it is useless. The older Evo 8-9 venting is pretty ideal for my application.

Saw a G35 Coupe in LA outfitted with one of these type hoods, and the owner claimed it dropped the average temperature in the engine bay down by around 100 degrees. Probably would be great for guys with superchargers.Originally Posted by WormGod

Ya, 100 sounds pretty damned high unless he had Mr Fusion under the lid.
As far as the design of the hood in the pic, I am just interested in the center flow, not so much the gills over the strut towers. That is bordering rice/too busy for me. That central section could be fitted to work within the confines of the insert and you can either cut your hood for some functionality or keep as is for looks. Of course, suggestions would also include some sort of meshing to keep debris out of the bay.
Just saying.... I have an extra insert and have been looking for that style of fixture to attempt fabbing on my own, but crap-for-all is online, and when you find what you want, it's C/F. It's been a lose/lose so far.
