Thanks... I guess.

What am I looking for?

 

I have both oil cooler, vented hood and koyo rad. It still gets hot sometimes under the hood everywhere and by the turbo. Get a supercharger if you want it to be cool under the hood

 

yeah... ok, I'll change over tomorrow.

Anyways, I am trying to keep it cool as possible. Obviously a turbo produces more heat than a supercharger... It's getting to be 90+ here, and like I said, I race the car every chance I get. I don't remember my Supra's under hood temps getting that hot after driving it hard.

Just trying to keep everything nice and happy under there.

 

the biggest difference to keep temps down will be vented hood and heat wrapping the turbo and exhaust manifold.

 

I don't think you can wrap a greddy manifold. Well, maybe, but it'd be hard. I guess the answer is to get the hood.

So, now... will the CW hood look good on my car?

 

I think it will look ok you can also go with cutting your oem hood

too scared to cut it.

 

Just for reference, here is the hood in question on a berlina ap1:



I'd probably get it painted and just leave the vented parts in carbon.

its not hard to cut the oem hood at all. i did it and that was the first time i picked up an air saw.

or just have someone in your area who has done some hood cuts do it
