Hood wont close with intercooler

**jrb1027** · 11-14-2014

When i put the intercooler on it made the supercharger sit too high and it hits my hood, Its about and 1.5 inches too much, and i have an sd hood

cradle spacers, they lower the sub frame. but 1.5 inches is a lot.

Yup,and the SD hood has less clearance than a stock hood.

put some spacers inbetween the hood and where the hood bolts on, it will give you a bit more clearance, might be enough after you do the cradle spacers

I ended up putting a stock hood on. then I cut a hole and put a scoop on.

reason #5876769303064897839023035 why I think A2W intercoolers are a joke..........

**Sven the Sexman** · 11-14-2014

mine fit under a stock hood no problem....

There are intercoolers on lots of cars. Before you bye, look up your car/hood. Chances are some one has installed on and has some pictures. If cannt find info.

1). Remove hood insulation (been asked if it was really nexessary)
2) put plummers putty on vacuum nipple on top of supercharger.
3) gently lower and or shut the hood.
4) putty will show how much clearance you really have.

As far as a joke....I drive mine daily for the last 6 years.

**jrb1027** · 11-15-2014

**REDCRAPGP** · 11-15-2014

Run hoodless

**sseilmnop** · 11-15-2014

1-1/2. Is that at the front of the car?

What car and hood

**jrb1027** · 11-15-2014

Yes the front of the hood its an SD hood on a 2000

**TwiztdWun** · 11-15-2014

Trade you my stock hood before you cut up the SD hood.

**jrb1027** · 11-15-2014

no thx

**TwiztdWun** · 11-15-2014

Okay...then just chop up the SD....make it completely useless......it will crack and break...then you will be looking for a stock hood in the end anyway. Its only money......what the hell!!
