subarufan1 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 is the hood scoop on the legacy gt designed in such a way that when driving in heavy rain it will not adversely effect the engine? i always wondered when driving in pouring rain it must "do something" ?

azca Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 yes. In fact when it rains your intercooler gets cooled off for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul G. Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 No. Fuji Heavy Industries is behind a giant practical joke aimed at you personally, and we're all in on it. Now that you've found out the truth you must redeem your hood coupon (you got it when you bought your car) for the real hood with the reverse snorkel. P.

rc0032 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I plug mine up when it starts to rain. Are you using the official Subaru part of an aftermarket one that dosent fit right and the vendor wont call you back? No. Fuji Heavy Industries is behind a giant practical joke aimed at you personally, and we're all in on it.

TSiWRX Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I keep telling the wife that she needs to get out of the car to reverse the hood-scoop on her '05 WRX, when it's raining/snowing - or risk intercooler melt. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1anatic Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 That is precisely why I only wash my car with water I buy at the store. Rain water or soapy water at car washes will melt the intercooler ! When it rains, I just put a plastic bag over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 http://sticky.cc/splash.jpg Aw, yup, I'm all sticky now. PS - You're ok as long as there's no soap residue left on your hood when it starts to rain. If there is, bye-bye intercooler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnAWD Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Don't worry about anything like that. The car has been engineered by smart people. If anything, you're getting additional cooling due to mother nature's natural IC sprayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
