Cowl Induction

updated: Tue, Jun 10, 2003
A type of induction which increases low temperature air flow to the engine. A hood with a rear facing scoop, usually located near the winshield creates a low pressure area which acts as a vacuum and sucks air into the engine. Since air is being sucked in instead of forced in, the air is less dense and thus is at a lower temperature.
