Some Already Know About Stangs Bulge

[stang]

  Well I finally got my car back from the panel beaters with my rear shaker installed,In a nutshell it looks MAD....Hope ya like my titles nothing like a bit of seduction to get some of you girls to look.

Next mod on the agenda is typhoon second intake and that will be it fo a while until the edit bug bites.

Anyway heres some pics sorry bout the quality camera showing its age.

looks hot how much and where did u get the shakers from

O.k the price was $250.00 and I will post details when I get home.

What I had to do was take a couple millimetres off as it is sold as a stick on with 3m tape.I removed the tape took 3 mill off would have liked to have taken a bit more off to make it look slimmer,but didn`t want to risk it.

It was purchased silouhette,but you might be able to get it in your color. The holes were cut out and it was stuck on with sikaflex.

I got my panel beater to respray it and the bonnet together.

First impressions,runs slightly cooler for longer,then with peak traffic starts to get warmer when sitting in one spot once you start moving again cools down much quicker.Hence I am pretty happy.

I like the bulge,but did look at any other option I could think off to make the car more unique.Unfortunately there weren`t any.

As well as the vent sits on a bonnet with the bulge better than it would with a flat bonnet.

As I stated earlier after 18 months I couldn`t think of any thing else no body else was able to provide me with a better solution.So this is what I came up with.

For the record it is a steel bonnet as Legalities were important to me and no structual part of the bonnet was cut.

One of the better vents I have seen for the T but not to sure how well it would work its getting pretty close to the postive pressure area caused by the junction of the bonnet and the windscreen. the best place for a vent is at the front of bonnet in the negative pressure area eg: GTR and EVO style. A quick check of how good a vent is to use short wool tuffs taped to the egdes of the vent and just in side. when travelling at moderate speed you should be able to tell if air is being sucked out, pushed in or is stagnate. A good place for this type of testing is Autospeed, its well worth the price of subsrciption.

Just sitting with the engine off after a bit of driving you can feel the heat pooring out of the vent.I air is being pushed in from the intercooler area and the grill so that should be enough force to make the air find a way out.Also the turbo is pretty far back in the T`s compared to the EVO`s as I did consider EVO type vents.

Thanks for your comments.

Stang - does this form any part of the intake system - or just an outlet for hot air???

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Even if its just an outlet for hot air, it could lower under bonnet temperatures by over 10°C. Its ideally placed, at the point where the overbonnet airflow sucks hardest (a few inches infront of the windsheild), and its big enough to cover most of the central part of the bonnet....

Rather than directly increasing power, it would alow the engine to make more power in a slightly more idealistic fassion, with the hot air being sucked out more efficiently, giving the cooling system maybe the slightest, oh so slightest, of helping hands....

Sorry. On a normal XR8 bonnet there is no wind sucking going on at the back of the bulge. At 120klm's on the freeway, pouring rain, you can watch all the little drops of water dancing around, going no where, on the back of the bulge

With the vents it might give it some "flow thru" ventilation, but not much sucking
