Hahaha, well i have had some issues with under hood temps that were getting into the interior that was like a easy bake oven since i went to a turbo setup and so decided to make a vent in the hood. Heres some pics hope you like, sorry for the blingingness of the aluminum.

 

more pics, i also plan to make a fiberglass or carbon fiber versaion if others are interested.

 

You would get better airflow if you designed it better... It's looking super nice though. Common physics will help you make temps lower! It's not all about looks

 

wasn't built for looks and does a damn good job of getting the heat out, thats all it was designed for.

 

Nice, Just thought you could improve the flow a bit, but hey, yours looks awesome, and what do i know. Just thought i would let you know.

 

well i'm not going to argue but yeah the flow probally could have been done better but with the small area i had to work with and the fact that i just wanted it to leave in the section where the scoop was on the hood was a factor.

 

And im not trying to argue either =D I think it looks awesome. Make a carbon fibre prototype, and i will probably buy one.

 

yeah there will be a prototype one with a smoother flows and maybe a slight bit bigger hole, its hard to get it bigger than it is now.

 

Wouldn't the warm air go into the hood scoop for the intercooler?

 

i got a front mount intercooler, air flows to front mount then oil cooler then radiator then efan then out the hood

 

sweet...


soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lets make a mold already.

 

so how much did your coolant temps drop?

 

That is really intresting...are you using the stock fan?

James

 

no he runs a efan...

 

clean....

 

Unless he was oveheating before, they shouldn't drop at all.

 

coolant temps didn't change much, before driving around they would be about 1/8th up the gauge, and at idle aboiut 1/4 up the gauge, now it sits 1/8 up all the time.

 

Dude, you don't have a water temp gauge...man maybe you should get one of those....

ESP with a fmic

James

 

My solution works the best

 

DAMN^!!!! that looks sooooooo ******* smooth w/ out the moldings. kick ***! i want more pics!

 

haha ya i wish the fc didnt have any moldings. i photoshoped it to see what it will kinda look like when i paint the moldings red...I think it looks Alot cleaner. But this is how she really looks now until i have the moldings painted red. I cant wait...

 

Could you make me one please?

 

Definitely keep the side moldings...

 

Why keep the side moldings? O.o

 

because they're there for a reason and thats how its supposed to look.
