VIS G Force hood on a 4th gen - Honda Prelude Forum

alblude · 12-02-2008, 11:23 PM

Hello everybody,

I'm thinking of getting this hood, but I can't seem to find any pics of 4th gens out there with it on. Do you have/know of someone with one? I need a hood with a not so obvious scoop to cool somewhat my JRSC.

I'm linking to the Geramy's on PreludePower 5th gen version of the hood below just as an idea.

Thanks in advance

that is super ugly...

jsmooney · 12-03-2008, 10:49 PM

i think it would cool off the SC though.....functionality or looks.....looks

i'm with the bad looking... just to big of an opening.

not too keen on it, sorry man.

wow i had a suspicion my english was bad, but until now I didn't know exactly HOW bad!!! I was trying to find someone with this hood on a 4th gen but apparently I ended up asking for fashion advice.

My blower is heating up to 150 degs so unless you have a suggestion on another way to keep it cool with a pretty hood, start another thread about how ugly this hood looks or just keep your non so constructive criticisms to yourselves... but thanks for stopping by

jrsc on a 4th gen? you may be able to find something on line. from what I found, it was hard to find some parts for a 4th gen. I think it would work though

have you tried the hondata IM gasket to keep the blower cool?

Yah, already have the Hondata IM gasket. there's just too much hot air in there. I figure the scoop will take care of the blower and I'll open up a NACA duct on the front right (where the stock air box used to be) to take care of the air intake temps...

I have the G force hood on my car. The opening isn't all that big.

You could always do the "JDM hood tilt" thing, where you raise the rear of the hood. I know of a guy (98vtec on H-T, preludepower, etc.) who did this and he said it made a decent difference in IATs on an NA motor so I'd guess that it would help significantly for a JRSC.

^^I did something similar, take off the rear gasket between the back of the hood and the vent shroud. Should help cool it.

Oh AWESOME!!! Do you have some pics of it on your car? How about pics of the bottom of the hood? I want to see where their reinforcement bars are. I'm mainly interested on the corner where the battery and air box are.

Thanks a million!!!

i will post them today. i kan tell u one thing right now, where the forget wat the hell u kall em. where the strut towers are it seems like the hood katches on them. So there a small gap kuz of it. not to noticeable tho. ill take pic all around the hood.

alblude · 12-17-2008, 01:17 PM

hmmm interesting.. oh well I'll wait for the pics. maybe there are markings under the hood where it rubs...

i lifted the back of my hood on my boosted EL and it make a pretty big difference, i would probably recommend that, its cheap and only takes a few minutes

Can you take pics of that? I wanna see how it looks with the back of the hood lifted. and when you say it made a big difference is there a way you can quantify?

Thanks
