Another way to get some air into the engine bay...

Although not particularly attractive and air wouldn't reach our trophy intercoolers directly...

Reminds me of the old MR2 turbo induction. Functional but bloody awful to look at

I think Rossion have got it right with the Q1 as i think they have a carbon duct that run of the top clam vent.

It comes down to what are you trying to do? if its get more air into the engine bay, why? As long as you aren't melting bits inside the engine bay whats the point getting more air in there? you only have to find ways to get it out as well.

Now getting more air to the intercooler is always a good idea!

Trying to get air into the intercooler of course - as almost none gets there hence my use of the word "trophy"

If going to that much work why not do a fast back design incorporating a larger NACA style duct? It's always going to be hard to get huge volumes of air to the intercooler in the stock location. Scoops are ok but if you look at the actual frontal area of the scoop they are tiny in comparison to the area of the intercooler (even assuming air will only travel through approx 40% of the intercooler rental area). However fast backs are used in some of the most powerful nobles out there and seem to work really well. Hoover in the states uses them on all big builds and Andy has proved what can be achieved with some cleaver thinking (I personal think andy's intercooler layout is the best solution).

Picture Amg has posted goes total opposite to when my noble was racing as they were trying to get air out of the engine bay not put it it . They used raming air direct onto the filters though and channeling unused air out once passed the filters
