I realize i'm sort of a WRC freak, but does anyone know how they do it? And why?

The hood scoop on the WRC car is there only to make the car look like the production car. The actual intake is in the fender, like everybody has been suggesting you do.

Theres alot of cars that incorporate ram air induciton from the factory effectivly and they're not all littering the sides of the highways during rainstorms from hydrlock
though if you do try to make this kind of setup I would suggest incorporating a low point before the filter with a small hole in the bottom were moisture can run out. Let us how it goes!

look at the picture of the WRC engine. I don't know if it'd work for practical uses, but i just think this setup is genious, and i was wondering how much we can incorporate into the WRX

See the thread/pics linked by the previous post. That's one bigass air filter!

i noticed the mistake and it made me ask does "staff member" have any meaning? i'm extremly new to the site. Are staff members supposed to be the most knowledgeable, i understand this is a simple mistake either way, but i took the advice fairly weighted simply because it said "staff member"
On another note, maybe an intake that way, if using an aps fmic, but maybe some sort of way to design it so it it could force the air into a filter box then to the turbo, just a thought, i mean it would seem to make some sense, unless there's no space.

no, not even
You must not only be extremly new to this site, but extremly new to forums in general if think that people become moderators by being the smartest people on the site
That said, I too do not belive that actuall WRC cars use the scoop for an intake, lets google it shall we!

well heres your answer, BAN was correct, the scoop on the WRC is NOT functional, here you can see the carbon fiber ducting is actually going to the hood reverse scoop, and this is to pull air up through the front of the intercooler and to act as a secondary air dam for increased downforce, hope that clears it up
