TA Stage 2. Scoop Pictures

Posting these for fellow member ( can't seem to post pics within a PM)
Scoop purchased from TA Performance.
Coat of epoxy, coat of 2K primer , block sanding. More 2K and more block sanding to follow....Jim

 

I had a round hole like that for mine when I ran the stage 2 scoop not sure it was the best idea after I swapped to a fiberglass hood I found pics of how Buick actually cut the opening, I will add here. Almost looks like they cut that entire center out then used a round pan under?

Can anyone prove this is how Buick did cut the opening and pan used???

These pics I found on this site awhile ago, I hope whoever car it is doesn't mind me posting, if so let me know I will remove

 

No problem what's so ever. I can post more pics if needed.

 

I would like that Guy. Thanks

 

Rather than just reposting pics, there are all my pics in this tread.

Hope this helps!

 

Guy, would you happen to have the measurement back of the hood to the scoop?...I bought a hood with a scoop on it already and it looks to me like its mounted to far back, if its off I want to correct it before I paint it.....

 

Yes- It is exactly 12" from center back of hood, to center back of scoop.

 

My carb has a inch thick spacer and a tall KnN air cleaner that protudes above hood to within 1/2 inch of the bottom of the scoop. I'm hoping the round hole will allow plenty of air to the carb without allowing too much underhood air. Jim

 

That is how I did mine, I thought the same thing, my cleaner lid actually touched my scoop and I used a pro flow from k&n.

I'm not 100 sure but I think even though I got air in clearly, I think the area around the cleaner, between it and the scoop caused some turbulence, but couldn't figure how to prove or distribution prove. I think the larger opening with the sealed pan under might have forced air in as compared to my filter snagging some and my carb sucking it in.

Though I noticed no et gain with a glass cowl hood, or even after adding a sealed pan under the cowl. I noticed no et change with stage 2 scoop with filter on or off.........so either they all flow the exact same......or none of the above were the restriction I first thought.

 

I have a Kenne Bell scoop,but there are no holes drilled in it for mounting. I would like to make this as exact as possible,so does anyone have a hole placement measurement?
What type of fasteners were used?

 

The original metal scoop used a spring type U nut. I "think" a number 10 size nut and screw. they are pretty big, so could even be 3/16". would have to go measure it tonight to be sure.
I also made a template foe hole placement from the original Buick scoop. I could measure that as well.

 

Redman1 told me guys on the forum used 71 corvette dual snorkel air cleaners to duplicate Stage 2

 

12" to back of scoop must be using a B4B intake? 12" wont work for a performer intake. 10-3/4" if using a Performer intake.

 

Good point. I would say the same for the stock intake as well.

My mesurements are from Buick. What the actual engineers did with my hood and scoop.

 

Here's my patch work if Guys are interested.

 

I 2part glued patches. Then made sure I clean all glue off with Dremel. The glue will expand from heat and push mud off.

 

As long as glue is behind patch you good . Then skim coat fiberglass over thin. Then Mud . Then finish in prime

 

You guys been there done that. But when I go to car cruises. People check it out

 

Would like to know what the spring hold downs look like, cant quite make them out on Guys photos
