Metal has been working out a little more difficult than first thought, we are waiting for a new machine from overseas specially designed to shrink the metal and specific metal sheets shipped from interstate.Initial tests show in 43 degree heat at about 100km/hour the front and rear vents drop the bonnet temperature by 3-4 degrees. A bonnet with back vents only help when at low speeds in traffic but onces upto speed (80-100km/h) have limited cooling value as they suck air into the engine bay rather than out. When stationary the rear vents are very effective at cooling.The Person who did my testing has had limited success with other bonnets at dropping the temp and was very impress by initial results. I would need much more testing before the results are definative.Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appwkc Member 27 Member For: 18y 5m 21d Location: Canberra Posted 25/01/07 12:00 PM Author Share Posted 25/01/07 12:00 PM Before AWC disappeared we purchased a Fibreglass v8 bulge to trial costs of a fibreglass V8 bulge version with back vents. It has been made but due to AWC's present position we have decided not to pursue that option. I'll be selling that bonnet off soon to clear the space.We hope to have back vent kits and bonnets available soon after the new equipment arrives but there is a bit more R&D before we can produce the Front vents effectively in bulk.The process of building parts for this has been more intensive than I first thought so sorry for the delays but given the money already invested we will definately get there.I'm presently setting up a business web site so people can keep in touch.I'm trying to get some things ready prior to the FPV day.Hope this updates peoples without clashing with any forum rules.I may be slow but I'm not dead yet!Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
