what would you guys suggest if i want to get rid of the hot air around the extractor? i visit my mech who fix my aircond, he say the engine bay is a tad too hot, because the engine is now bigger, and my radiator/condensor is stacked together one, so all hot air ram in from in front is actually very very hot as well.

i was thinking of a scoop like scooby on top of the extractor, but to make it so the water won't drop to the pipings, so i wanna ask for you guy's opinion. my exhaust manifold is on the left side of the enigne bay, KE70.

rollakid , to simplify ur post ... What u wanna do is keep the extractor's heat away ?

If that is so, u can thermal wrap it... works great. :regular_smile:

Mrbear,

Strangely the engine appear to be dry. Where the water go after the bonnet being hosed??

Did u use Pampers?? LOL

btw, is that bonet comes in whole piece or just added a scoop over ori bonnet? is there a pic showing the bonnet underneath, in relation to the underlying "bone" of the bonnet?

thanks!

* the water flows to the radiator (in front of radiator) not behind .. (might be flows behind) but wat i can see the water flows in front of the radiator (near front radiator n also bumper)

* the bonet does not come 1pc .. the hood has been cut to fit the custom made vents. (fiber).. it does not come 1pc.. it has been custom made. cut,paste,moulding,fiber,cement n etc2..

* ouh i forgot to take underneath pic. to show the "base" for the hood vents. (i post 2morow) now already dark.. cannot c ..

it depends on what material the extractor is.....
I forgot already which one would crack...
but mine is thermal wrapped.....no cracked yet and it's like 2 years old. Got it 2nd hand, in my car for around 10 months, previously in a friend's car. No leaking yet
