While reading the newest Import mag. I saw this clever test for better engine cooling.
The test car was a Mazda Miata.
They did the JDM hood prop thing we all see and criticize !

According to them; " Propping the hood did lower temperatures. By Earth-shattering amounts? No. But temps did drop an average of 13.5 degrees Fahrenheit all around, especially during stop-and-go traffic and highway driving".

What u guys think?
If anyone can benefit, it will be us FI people, specially the turbo guys .


clicky !!!

 

just vent your OEM hood.

 

I already have a carbon vented hood. just looking for more.
I wanto know what people think.
s2k people seem to step away from doing this.

 

Just pull the rubber seal on the cowl and you will get the air flow.

 

the [problem is the look. i did it to see what it looked like, and well, i just didnt like it.

 

doesn't look good

 

I agree with u guys !! It looks ewwwy.
Ill try the Sideways tip !

 

yeah looks cheesssssy

 

i am thinking about doing it but not as extreme. just a couple millimeters, im more of a function guy provided its within reason.

 

Drive with no hood? Less weight also...
