Sorry, I don't know who, it was just someone on here from a thread I saw a few years ago. Their scoop was smaller, though. That's my concern with what you're doing - the scoop is too big. The secret is to have a big low pressure area and a small, high pressure intake. Of course, like everyone else, I just assumed that ramming air in would do the job, (which appears to make sense at first), until I figured this out.

A Puma Defender's bonnet has a nice bulge in it to clear the engine, so you'd think the air would rush nicely over the top, creating a low pressure area underneath at the rear, ripe for a vent.
So you dont know anybody thats done it like this [emoji6]Quote:

So, once yours is done, if you really want to know if it works, you'll need a Magnehelic gauge to see what it's doing.Quote:

Ive never seen anything even remotely close on the internet or on the street of forward facing bonnet scoops on Range Rover Classics or Discoverys other than the one i recently posted made by the same guy.Quote:

As far as whacking bird eating big, its actually almost the most slimline you could get, try saying that to every 79series driver you meet in person, see how many whacks you get haha.
Agreed with testing, however temps on the freeway, idle and heat soak reduction will be my first tests
None of these are RRC, and is there data on these links showing it doesnt work?Quote:

My point is show me where someone has added a good sized wide forward facing scoop and it has not worked on a defender, discovery or RRC
I can find almost zero on RRC, plenty of people have done this to discos and defenders and newer rangies, and im sure there would be horror story's to be found pretty quick if it was not to work
Here are the ones with bird gobblers I have found to date.[emoji6]https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...018/01/889.jpghttps://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...018/01/890.jpghttps://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...018/01/891.jpghttps://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...018/01/892.jpghttps://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...018/01/893.jpghttps://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...018/01/894.jpghttps://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...018/01/895.jpghttps://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...018/01/896.jpghttps://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...018/01/897.jpg
