Solid work man. Props on your old man supporting and helping ya out as well.
This will be helpful for my ram air setup on my NA Foz. Thanks for posting this video!
Yo with up neighbor. This is PDX DOLPH just wonna give U and Ur Pops props on such a good and clean job... I'm impressed... I found a 2004 forester hood w/ scoop but that won't swap out with my 02 forester. So now I got to cutcha I got some OG friends that will help me... But first I'm cutting my 02 lincoln ls V8 for a scoop fitting... I know SIC HUH?!!!... Well neighbor keep up the good work and thanx so much for gaming me up
Hate to say it but, water will now leak on top of your engine. You'll need to replace the knock sensor, and possibly the coil pack as heavy rain will cause misfires. Happened to me, I have a real XT hood. Waiting on a hood delete plate to come in now
Very nice! I've been looking for a turbo hood, but you actually made this look a lot better than most cut hoods I've seen. There is hope! :D
Yeah that was my dilemma! I wanted a factory hood but they’re very rare and expensive. But most hoods I’ve seen cut look really bad
@@solomonsmucker2870 same here. I can't see myself paying the same amount for the turbo hood as I paid for the entire EJ205! You're in Eastern WA, right? Maybe you could make the trip up to Calgary. @ForesterParts on IG has a lot of JDM SF parts. My parents are in Spokane, so I have considered making the drive, but I'd still have to figure out how to get the hood to DC with me. Your hood turned out so well, that I am just going to cut my hood.
Do it dude! Mine is probably the closest you can get to a factory looking hood, and much much cheaper
@@solomonsmucker2870 Are you in Spokane? Any chance I can copy your template?
Bravery paid off!!!
Heyyy Washington!!! Hell yes keep the subie dream alive!
Pretty awesome bro
I got a 2001 automatic n/a, I'm putting a 3" Y pvc pipe on intake with 2 cone filters where the scoop is, adding just the plastic scoop..im blown away that I cant find an aftermarket scoop that is the same. Subaru must have a patent on the shape. 100 bucks used. 😵 but has to be the real deal
They make reps but they gonna be about the same price as the real hood scoops. Don’t support reps. Also that’s a horrible idea water will get into your intake tract
where did u get the sideskirts and front lip?
Love the way it came out look oemasf
I’ve got an ej225 motor that I plan on turboing here soon... what accessport should I go with for the build? TIA
I’ve never heard of the ej225… I believe you are talking about a 255? Accessory’s have to be used with turbo ECUS and only USDM.
@@solomonsmucker2870 ej25 sorry non turbo model
Looks awesome!
Hey bro what camera did you use for this video? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What side skirts and front number ya got going on there? I have a 98 foz
Sti 2m skirts and a rep st/b lip
So is it safe to cut the braces in the hood? I got a 88 c1500 im turboing and ive got my hood scoop but not sure what is ok to cut
I mean I never had any problems with my hood, I didn’t cut too much bracing out. But cut at your own caution lol I’m not liable 😂 should be fine though.
Sickkk
I need a copy of that template brotha. I suck at measuring haha
Maybe I’ll make a short vid on how to make a template like mine
Why don't u post more. I'd love to see these builds
I should lol
Amazing works! Would like to try on my SG5 2007.
Just buy an XT hood much simpler and cleaner
Nice video but I thought it was to put in a bigger scoop for the intercooler lol sti style still great video
It is a video showing how I installed my hood scoop and air duct in preparation for my engine swap.
Clean bro!
Damn thats dope 🤘🏼🤘🏼
This Horse Charge speed is original and custom?
Where's the intercooler brooooo
Check my Instagram ;) @509fozzy
Hey mate I’m looking to add a hood scoop to my subie Impreza and I don’t have the intercooler under where the hood scoop normally goes, do you think anything bad could happen? And a brilliant job too mate well done ✌️
I never had a problem with it when I ran it without an IC
I have an 01 2.5RS, I took the hood scoop blocker off as soon as I got it home 21 years ago. I've never had a problem related to that.
Guide for template design
when is the engine swap video coming out?
Soon, just have to finish my little honda project as it will be my daily while I swap the foz, might make an update video soon!
@@solomonsmucker2870 I am waiting for an sti engine myself for my 98 s-turbo forester. So using my days in waiting to se every TH-cam about fozzy engine swap 👍
I suggest a little copy write free music and cutting the audio when you aren't talking
Where do I get the scoop at? I got the tools to cut but have no idea where to get that bad boy
Just look up blobeye sti hood scoop. I got mine off of fastwrx
@@solomonsmucker2870 thanks!
i just picked one up off amazon. 131bucks plus like 7 for shipping. just type in subaru hood scoop n click search in amazon. nbs im putting it on my bimmer lmao 94 318i driftie poo
@@superscum0311 what!? I’m gonna check it out, I have found them for 2002 and up but nothing for 1998-2000, I just looked, there is only the scoops you can buy.....I want the hood with the scoop already on it, functionality working. I don’t have tools/experience to cut into my hood
You need to digitise the template and make it available bro....
Unless everyone used an oem blobeye sti hood scoop it would be pointless as they’re different three the years
Can i line it up good and make some holes and bolt it on or just glue it on Im scared to cut my hood😂
What’s the point of having a hood scoop if it doesn’t work sounds like rice to me
You could but in my opinion it would look meh, the point of cutting it is to make it functional but also flush.
I don't like it because of the grill
Bro lemme get that template tho.
You just have to make it to whichever hood scoop you use
