Not only to the running conditions for the car but it has to help the longevity of the engine bay components, hoses and harnesses etc. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94573-fg-turbo-engine-heat-do-i-need-a-vent/page/2/#findComment-1673500 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a venturi effect, air gets sucked out of engine bay.

Any ideas? Will it cause a problem in the rain? The vents in the plastic grill, what is that for?

Slowxr6t Member 574 Member For: 6y 4m 10d Location: New zealand Posted 11/02/19 09:45 AM Share Posted 11/02/19 09:45 AM The deal is just held on by push in clips, just hold seal and pull it up gently at the clips, mine didn't break when I did it. I also took seal off my old 300zx and the underbonnet temps dropped heaps, the inlet manifold on it used to get real hot and after I took seal off, I did a 3hour drive and popped bonnet and I could hold my hand on the manifold easy as. Try it, you can always put seal back on.
