Perhaps you haven't seen/felt the unbelievable amount of suction the type 2
motor's cooling fan produces at 3,500 rpm. I don't think there is any
danger of air 'stagnating' on top of the motor, and getting hot, no matter
how efficient your scoops.

Yes, but if you direct more air into the engine compartment than your motor
can
consume, what then? Where goes the air then? Nowhere! It stands still,
heats up
and is less efficient.
