look at the back trim ... he cut off the lip and the molding is gone so that is where the hot air escapes :))

you got it ... my internet crashed and i couldnt tell yall what was going on..

josh you nailed it on the head... if you bend the lip over an inch or so and put the rubber trim back on, only at a 90* facing back..
it creates an air vent about 1-1/2 inches tall and a little over a foot wide...

water does not get in becuase the hood overlaps the "trauth" so to speak, where the window wiper
linkage is ...

this allows all excess heat to exit out over the windshield... and unless you show them, most people dont even notice its done....

So what scoop style serves the best?

one that allows air to come in
 

or the old school that allows air to go out?

i like the one that lets air out because letting air in also lets water in and dirt in and other things a lot easier

there for two different applications...
 one is to bring air in, for a specific purpose  ie.. to cool an intercooler, or for ram air...
wheras the other is designed to evacuate heat rapidly...

the second one "cowl hood" is popular among musclecar tuners becuase of the massive heat created by running high compression 8 cylinders..
the heat needs to be evacuated or the engine can overheat...

a trick i learned from some mustang buddies... to make a spacer, to lift your hood at the hinge at the back of the hood... so when the hood is closed the front is closed, but the back of the hood is raised an inch or so allowing a rather large gap for all the XS heat to escape....

good idea, but A) looks kinda goofy...B)it rains right in...

so i got to lookin at the twin wall that ford used on the capri and i thought hey instead of moving the hood up lets move the firewall down..

280zx turbo hood scoop for intake ram air

RCI ... on the part or hose that i circled how do i change that hose ... because the one hose says "to engine" and there seems to be something small in there.

If your talking about the vacuum line that comes of the break booster, theres just a one way valve in the metal part.

Yes its very important - without it you will get erratic braking. If you're switching hoses, you can cut the valve out and stick it into the new hose. Note which way it faces when you take it out so you can get it right when you put it back in
