Lason Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Just got my induction setup done and tried the stock hood just to get a idea of how much cowl I would need and its about 4 to 4 1/2" from closing. I know Betamotorsports makes some nice quality stuff but I dont know if a 4" will do it so Im thinking like a 6" cowl hood. Anyone got any ideas on who would make something like that? Otherwise Ill probably have to buy a flat fiberglass hood and graph on a generic cowl induction "scoop". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschiltz Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Did you talk to John at Betamotorsports? He'd probably be able to get you what you need. Shoot him an email or pm on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lason Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 PM'd John and no dice. He did give me the measurements of his hood though and I verified it wont be enough In the mean time I cut a hole in the stock hood and it looks decent I guess.

Challenger Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Looks sweet lason but Id be skeptical about dirt/rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockerstar Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Personally, I love the way it looks right now. Pics of the entire car so we can get a better idea of how it really looks? Have you considered making a "mini-cowl" just to cover up what you need? I don't like the looks of big cowl hoods on our Z's You might be able to enlarge the hole so you could fit an air cleaner on it as is.

Lason Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Looks sweet lason but Id be skeptical about dirt/rocks. It will have a inlet tube connecting the throttle body to the turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texis30O Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 lol don't you have this for sale?......... is that an extra u-bend you have on the floor? I have been looking at the pics of your car it is nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Purple240zt Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Dude, that looks 10x better than a cowl hood. Nice job cutting the hole neatly! Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking at the pics of your car it is nice... Yep same car. Didnt have a lot of interest in it and I refused to cut my own throat on the pricing so I have been working on getting it up and going. Yes, that bend on the floor will be the discharge pipe from the turbo to the throttle body. Just gotta get to cutting and welding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbk240z Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I am glad to see you didn't sell the Z. I can't wait to see how it will run with the turbo setup. BTW, nice pics on the billboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
