Hood Scoop
#1
i was just tosing around the idea with my brother to get a hood scoop for his ranger. should we try a single scoop or go for the two eclipse scoops
heres the single one
and heres the double ones
also is it worth it to make them funtional or not because he doesnt want to cut into his hood if it wont help that much
heres a picture of his truck-its a 98 Xlt reg 4cyl
thanks

You could cut out the hood I guess just to let fresh air in to cool the motor more, but it wont be going into the intake. I say buy an Edge hood and put the mustang scoop in it. The mustang scoop goes REALLY well with the Edge hood and I think looks killer.
As far as those two you posted, I like the single. I guy at my school has the double on his ranger and it doesnt look real great. The doubles just seem real common around here so I get tired of looking at them.

yea im starting to liek teh single also. its not as long as the doubles either so its not gunna be an eye sore. my brother also found this scoop that goes in the spot between teh windsheild and hood at summit which i really like
Will putting this in that spot make it funtional without any moding because theres allready those holes in it for cooling i would assume

Hey 4x4, I don't beleie those holes are for cooling because they aren't even connect by the engine bay to the outside.
The only car I have seen with a functional scoop (other than a turboe'd car) is the Mustang Mach1. It scoops air and channels it onto the airfilter. U may wanna look into this setup, but pease whatever you do, get it molded in and don't just stick it on there. :-D

As for making the hood scoop functional...Ranger Thunderbolts have a functional hood scoop optional. Might want to look for pics of one to get an idea of what they did.

A scoop on the cowl vents would most likely DECREASE airflow into the vents; they're placed there by design because the base of the windshield is a low-pressure area created by the way air flows over the hood into the windshield. The air is basically being drawn in straight down, not from the front.
Take a look at any Nascar, they draw thier engine air in at the same location for that same reason; the dront grilles on a nascar are for cooling ONLY.
See the little square opening at the base of the windshield? A Nascar breathes through there.
See how the air cleaner is sealed off from the engine compartment and ducted back to that opening? Nascar engineers don't want to worry about the variables of "ram air" on their motors, or the spectre of debris getting sucked in at 190mph, so they design them to breath through the "low pressure" area where there is basically a bubble of comparably static air to breath from.

The only reason I haven't done it yet is because I don't want a scoop until I have enough horsepower to back it up.

PowerRanger4.0 that looks so awsome. have any shots from the direct front and the side u could PM me with. does urs have that little part in the front of it because ive found 2 mustang scoops and the one is 13$ and the other is 85$
Edit: nevermind now that i take a closer look at the scoop ive figured out which one it is.
