Mini Skoops!

[Wee Jock]

Does anyone have mini air skoops installed on their cars?

If so can you tell me, are they prone to sucking in water when it rains effecting engine performance?

cheers

Vic used to have mini scoops on his Sti 1 and he never had any problems

with water getting in the engine bay although I think he did have a

small mesh plate on the one over the induction kit .

Hope this helps

Just spoken to someone else who has them, he says that during wet and

foggy weather the air tempreture drops increasing power so is actually

a benifit in some cases, I think it can only be a good thing if they

are directing cold air flow directly onto the induction kit[]

My only concern is the water getting on to the air filter and being sucked into the mixture! Earlier this week I took the back plate off my dummy vent over the air filter, went for a car wash today and hey presto, water into the induction system and lets just say it didnt run too well until the filter dried out!

My car has been mapped recently and I am not gtting as much air into the system as is possible so I thought the bonnet skoop over the air filter would be a good mod!
