Screen...
 

I need a screen for my STi's hood scoop as it just about sucks up everything on the road.. my poor intercooler is taking a beating since I drive from Sparks to S. Carson 5 days a week... any ideas on who makes one or where I can get one?

Re: Screen...
 

I made one, it's easy. We were gonna make one for eric's Sti next...Would you like one? Let me know, Cheap$

I need one as well. Sounds like a good project day.

Me too--picked a bunch of bugs from mine today. :x

when and where? before thursday works for me :D

Lemme put together a HOWTO for ya'll:

1- buy some aluminum or stainless steel screen at Home Depot / Lowes
2- bend screen over intercooler
3- get a milkshake :D

BTW: you don't need to remove the IC, that's just a picture from when I had it off for some other reason. Also, you'll note that I doubled the screen over itself to get twice the protection.

fantastic scott

I purchased some mesh while at Lowes today. The smallest hole stuff they had was 1/4". Does yours have smaller holes Scott? I can take this stuff back if better is available.

Sounds about right.... just fold it over on itself to get 1/8".

and if you fold again?

hold on let me get a calculator!

defense!

Nope, just take 2 layers of 1/4" and off set it by 1/8"....

or fold again and its 1/16 :lol:
has anyone done air flow losses thought these things :? :lol:

At 1/8", there's prolly a little bit of a flow reduction... but it's nothing a quick spray from the water bottle won't cure between runs.

can you put the screen neer the hood scoop?

I've never done it, but don't let that stop you from trying!

if you can attach it some how. I think thats the reason that ppl put it where they do not to mention who want's to see a cheap home made screen in the hood scoop

I saw one sti in carson had a screen at the scoop... it looks good hehe. I want one of those=)

btw, when we gonna make that project day? I work tues to sat and I dont get off till like 7pm at nite, which means I wont be back in Reno till bout 8pm.

Well, this weekend is a race weekend... so we'll probably all be busy. Maybe Sunday night if we're not all too tired... or prehaps Monday afternoon, I'm off work at about 6... what about everyone else?

I need to go solo on this one :(
i'll be with you in sprit though :D

im down for either day, just need directions to where i need to be hehe

i did this one and it works and looks great.
