Posted 24/08/05 10:23 PM Share Posted 24/08/05 10:23 PM Goldbullet said: I forgot to mention the heat that comes out through mesh is huge, it just shows you the heat we are keeping under the Bonnet. I was chatting to a Mercedes mechanic the other day and we were discussing the heat in the engine bay, and I like the idea of sort of scoop over the turbo area, a bit like the single ones on the old evo's, more of an inverted scoop than a vent. He also pointed out that the big rubber seal at the back of the bonnet near the windscreen is a great way to retain all the unwanted heat.

Just not totally sold on the vents at the front of the bulge. look too small..... I'd probably prefer a larger, wider intake, similar to the ferrari style.just my opinion.well done.

Goldbullet Member 883 Member For: 20y 1m 17d Location: Frankston Posted 25/08/05 02:34 AM Author Share Posted 25/08/05 02:34 AM As for the rain the scoop is vented at the back so the water runs of the side of the engine underneath, as for releasing heat, the amount of heat that is able to escape through the back scoop is fantastic.Dave.
