Still in development phase. Styling and placement. Next will be testing intake temperatures. Excited about it because currently only the 3 series have options for them.

How is it attached? Or is it just pressure fit?

It will have a bolted c clamp to the v brace. That’s the next step in the design after measurements and everything were figured out!! It will be behind it out of site. Concept of the design.

Original tried to do the same design as the grate that’s in that hole. But ran into complications and at high speeds might rip the rubber. Needed something better. Because I don’t have an airbox anymore because after market air intake I removed the grate for this because ricks or other debree will just hit the back of my heat shield.

Neat. What intake do you have? Are you going to sell the printed scoop or the STL file (or both)?

Haven’t decided yet. After test and finished product I’m gonna run it for a few weeks and do test and put some graphs together. If people are wanting it then probably. I have the Agency Power Intake

AFE makes them. Im currently running it on my F32 n55.

I have seen these but not really what I was looking for.

I am no aerospace expert, but it is my understanding, that if you taper the inlet closed slightly, while keeping the volume behind it, sort of like a manifold, it will increase flow through the tube.

Just having an open funnel like this causes a lot of turbulence. It seems counterintuitive to what you want to do, but if you close the inlet a bit...

Already tested the fluid dynamics in solidworks! Zero turbalance! Also it is tapered at the back. The point of this inlet allows more air to flow into the engine bay resulting in cooler air being around the air intake vs passive hot air in the engine bay do due engine/turbo/dp heat.

Bigger to small increase velocity of air. Small to big decreases velocity of air output. This will increase air flow into the air intake area providing cooler air consistently.

I'm not saying to make it a reverse funnel. I am saying, close off the inlet slightly with a taper coming forward. This will increase airflow through the neck. It will reduce turbulence and the enclosed manifold area will create a high pressure zone which will push the air down the tube.

You don't even need to remake this part. Just make a piece that attaches to the front and test it that way.

When you have a large inlet that necks down you don't lose airflow, you just increase velocity. See: Bernoulli's Principle.

I'd be interested in the file, if you do. I already have an aFe scoop but i like yours for a few reasons (size and aesthetics).

Any other product development? Such as the F15?

Interested to see the data you get on intake temps. Are you running a completely closed box intake? All the data i have seen from testing scoops is that they basically don't do anything at all, for intake temps, airflow, or WGDC. They just make your filter get dirty faster. The only place they would potentially matter is sustained highspeed driving like on a track.

[Abzynthe]

Do you have anything after the hole this scoop attaches to?
I didn’t, so got the hot climate rubber bend thing that then attaches to the plastic tube that points to the filter.

+1, when you have a true cold air intake. The stock air box is a cold air intake. If you fall for the advertising hype and install an intake that takes its air from under the hood then a scoop may be of some benefit.
