Looks great Larry!!

I agree, better than expected. If you want to make the internals disappear, just take a can of black spray paint to it.

When you have a chance to determine IAT rise with the fan on (towing for example), please let us know.

You changed the design, nice.

Clean install, Larry!

Looks good!

Looks good, I'll have to see about trying this out myself=)

Larry, sounds like you have the same Volant set up that I have, but I don't have the lower scoop. I thought Volant only had a model for the SS trucks? Do they have one for the Max now or is it the same as the SS. What is the model # for that and who did you order though? let me know, nice job to you and Killerbee.

Some install questions

Great install!
Do you have any pictures of the hole you cut out of the fender - how did you cut the hole and how did you mark the proper location?

Also - you mentioned about an inner part with holes already made - is this the black area seen in the pictures with the holes? If you have any pictures of this it would be helpful.

I would like to make the same mod!

Also, what type of paint did you use for the scoop?

Thanks!

Just got the fender scoop added for more cold air, also added the Volant Intake "wrapped the tube in header wrap", sealed off the inner fender to keep hot engine compartment air out of the intake and will be adding the Volant Lower intake scoop as soon as the UPS guy brings it. I dogged it fairly hard at lunch today in stop and go traffic and I couldn't get the Big fan to come on, So I they this was a worthwhile mod. IAT's are way down, averaging less than 10 degrees above outside temperature on the highway and only 20 - 25 deg. above outside temp in heavy stop and go traffic.

While the fender scoop is cut into the fender, only the outer surface was removed, there is still middle section still intact which vents downward and has several smallis holes in the middle areas. The scoop is moved back far enough that I hope not to suck in water when it rains, it looks to be protected. I'll find out later in the week, "rain is coming".

My understanding is that with the inner sections sealed off, and I used reflective dynomat to do this, a pressurized cold air source has been created.
The last photo kinda shows how the interior should be protected from rain.

Ups guy just dropped off the lower scoop, that will go on tonite.

Larry,

Okay, now that you've had some time to play with it, what results are you seeing (temps, performance, etc)?

Thanks,

Joseph

Larry, Did you guys seal the rear holes in the inner fender near the battery? I was peaking around this weekend and noticed several holes to the engine compartment to the inner fender. I would imagine that if it is getting pressurized from the outside air, then some of that would leak into the engine compartment.

Nice looking install, the paint job appears to be matched well from the pictures.

I sealed every hole, large and small on the inner fender, with the exception of the 2 holes that are directly feeding the cold air intake box.

A body shop did the cutting, painting and installing of the fender scoop, so i'm not too sure how they went about marking it. The black section under the scoop with the holes in it are I assume factory.

i installed the Volant lower scoop at the same time as the fender scoop, My IAT's are very good, right now in 80 - 95 degree weather, driving the temps seem to stay below 100 deg. I did wrap the intake tube from the air box to the turbo with a reflective insulated blanket from "Jegs" made specifically for this purpose, I also fully wrapped the Air box with reflective insulated wrap from Moroso, also bought from Jegs. My Iats do slowly rise at stop lights, but come down fast on leaving the lights. I would say that performance wise all these mods have helped significantly, especially considering all the fuel I am commanding with EFI Live. Also, No more Turbo bark, which is a result of these cold air mods and also the addition of the BD manifold and the Diuamond Eye Turbo downpipe.

Hi, I new to the forum and it looks like you have good info here.
Thanks, Steve

They are available in acrylic urethane factory paint colors.

Sport Red
Summitt White
Dark Spiral Gray
Victory Red
Black
Light Pewter
Silver Birch Pearl
Dark Blue
Indigo
Greystone Metallic

others on request.

The install is easily done by a shadetree mechanic, a rectangular opening and 4 screws. I use a cutoff wheel.

Do you think using the fender scoop reversed on the driver side might help evacuate hot under hood air, I am asking this with the assumption that the stack seal and nose shroud is also being utilized.

The scoops come in colors now?????

can't hurt. Consider though the shear volume of air that runs through the stack, 4000 cfm, 6000 cfm with the fan engaged.

Colors were always anticipated. Just finally got off the ground with it.

sounds good, I may be interested in trying the reverse scoop on the driverside.
