Hi all,

 

Would any one have or know of a club member looking to sell a vented bonnet? Be it carbon fibre.

 

Thanks

Try posting in 'items wanted' section mate

Cheers

Not carbon but search 'bonnet with grills'

I have a bonnet vent in fibre glass brand new £40 it's one of carmads great quality if it's any good to you

 

 

 

Its not carbon, but is blended into a standard bonnet

Thanks for letting me know guys.

 

Rigs: Its not the look I am going for. Thanks for letting me know mate.

I'm wondering, what the point of a scoop like that on the front would do? Is there some kind of intake underneath it, or does it simply dump outside air on the top of the engine? I would have thought it would be better to have an 'exhaust' vent which would allow a higher air flow through the radiator from the front of the car, and out the top.

very limited space under there tho mate!

i see where you coming from tho, could even channel it 'to' the radiator, at motorway speeds should catch quite a bit of air? maybe i'm talking b*llocks tho...

the problem with any forward facing vent or scoop is that for any given amount of air to go in there has to be an escape for air to get out or it just turns into a raised air dam...forward facing engine bay vents are not the ideal solution imho as the exit path is too restrictive back down past the engine,your better with a rear facing vent and at speed there is a low pressure point right behind the raised vent which has the effect of "sucking" the hot air out from engine area. I used to play around with induction vents on a drag strip trans-am in the 80's and found the motor gulped more air when the scoop was rear facing and cashed in on the low pressure = suck idea:yes:...at the end of the day its your call but ime just giving what ive found over the years;)

:yes:As znut has said. Rear facing duct will extract the heat not force the heat out. But I would say that.

like a venturi effect

I like this one

Looks like a chargespeed one.
