mobythevan Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 The vents are installed as close to the firewall as possible without cutting into the hood reinforcement underneath. Also, I had to follow the body line of the rise in the center of the hood, because if I followed the body line of the hood outside edge I would have been cutting into the reinforcement on the outside. I figured these would be more useful in the turbo section than body section because they directly relate to the turbo swap. BTW, this hood has a pretty good dent in the front, so I didn't mind experimenting with it. I do have a straight hood if I decide to try something else.

Guest szlash280z Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 looks pretty good! now you just need an airdam for the front and you should be set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 I love the Turbo scoop on drivers side, its so 80s Somebody grabs all the scoops out of the hoods around here, as soon as i can find me one, Im would like to run that scoop, right over the turbo. I dont want to run passenger side scoop, gets the electronics wet, all the heat is on the driver side anyhow. anyways, lookin good, and yes, an air dam would be nice with your scoops.

Cody 82 ZXT Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 why can't I ever see pictures on this forum?? always just the little red x That happens to me quite often. I thought it was just me. I usally just restart my computer and all of the sudden I have pics. Sometimes it takes me logging off and then back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobythevan Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 So how well does this new mod work? Notice any difference? I was afraid to put the hood on without vents, so I don't have a real measurement, but the turbo puts off so much heat after hot rodding the car a little that I can't imagine running without some kind of vent. My car with no hood will gain about three needle widths on the temp gauge if I get into the turbo for 5-8 seconds. And it takes several minutes of driving after that to cool back to normal. I still need to get the oil cooler hooked back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
