Carbon Fibre; How to Hide it?

[stupidcar]

Erm.. no. Most cars have the air flow go down to the bottom of the car, not upwards. Heat will follow air flow. If your car idle then that's a different story but how often is your car going to be stationary? Hence side fender vents lor.

And also the fan. When u open ur car door, first thing u feel is heat wave on your legs.

Fan blowing sure it has to go some where, right? The top is closed so it goes down instead....

Yea, sometimes the legs really felt like cooked.

Make sure water is drained off properly, not just open some slits on top....

Later open slits where the sparkplugs is.

Hi guys. sorry, had to pindah. very busy week. Still talking about hoods so good lah dbkl tak kacau

Still related ma

If you look at the Evo and Scooby, the vents and scoops are all at strategic locations, scooby scoop goes to the intercooler, the evo vents are at the sides, the one at the front (Scoop) goes into an air intake.

So basically you need to vent at areas that won't expose your hot bits to the weather. Imagine a smoking hot exhaust manifold suddenly getting instant cooling from cold rain. Guarantee cracked manifold. And as what stupidcar has said - electrical bits that aren't supposed to get wet much less soaked should be protected, if vented then "woohoo"..

Pros and cons lor.

Okay, that's sounds logically true. Learn something new today. So having a custom fender gills would be good then/

I think if heavy rain, water will get inside also.

I thought newer Evo like 8 and 9 have a large vent on the middle?

So, I think it is better to get a hood that is manufactured by a renown manufacturer where they actually tested its capabilities and reliability so that everything works well and harmoniously? Or just get one from cars with OEM vented hoods if it fits.

i was previously using evo hood on my perdana, the right side of the vent was located just on top of my fuse box, but so far nothing happened to it, no water seeping thru.

You don't understand, all that matters is where the water flows to. The stock evos were all top intercooler mounted. People modify to front mounted. So the original design was the gaping hole to cool the TMIC.

Aiya, you want something to happen open the fuse box and don't cover it.

Using one not meant for your car...ha! ha!
Yah! as bro. Izso mentioned it has not gone thru the covered fuse box but it is best not to have water running over it anyway....

Perdana hood not longer than Evo hood?

Er, I think the intercooler in stock Evo are all front mounted if you look at official Mitsubishi pictures... No offence..

Eh? Front one la. Just small only. You confused Subie is top

Yup, Is the Suburuuuu.......

Not small already. Consider quite big compared to many stock OEM intercoolers. 4G63T got top mounted intercooler also but that is on RVR and Airtrek Turbo.

It's a signature for Subaru already for their top mounted intercooler and air scoop.

But recent new models like the latest Forester Turbo had a top mounted intercooler but the hood is flat without air scoop. Seems rather inefficient? :hmmmm:

during that time I was the only one with evo hood on perdana, there were none at the market yet, they had to rivet the fibre evo hood onto my OEM perdana hood & cover the extra area with fibre, it was damn heavy. but no choice mau evo hood ma
