Hi guys, hope everyones well - haven't been on here for a while!! :slap:

 

In the next few weeks now the weather's getting warmer i'm gonna be getting the bonnet on my Z resprayed as the red paint has faded quiet alot & I don't really fancy a pink Z for the summer!! Before I do this though I wanna fit some decent bonnet vents or some kinda front duct to aid airflow as the engine runs bloody hot!!

 

The one in the computer generated image on here a while ago looked like a wicked front duct(s) but don't know if it actually exisists!!! I know the Z centre have got there bonnet buldge but don't actually know how effective this is gonna be in getting rid of heat.. Have seen some modded RX-7's :hurl: with a front vent to flow air over the head (Very Ferrari Like). If anyone knows anywhere I can get good venting or put some pictures on here than that would be much appriciated!! Thanks guys! :hyper:

you want the air to come in through the nose panel vents and over slam panel and engine....then out the back/top of the bonnet for ultimate cooling :dance:

I'm looking at the carbon fibre jobbies from usa at the mo...very nice indeed.

 

or

 

fit a sprinkler system :smash:

So basically the bonnet vent is to release the air pressure and to vent an engine properly you have to find the point on your front bumper where the most air hits and some how direct it to the air filter to cause a ram air effect, and to the engine to cool it down??
