the rain always enter the engine bay..

that's how your engine gets dirty

usually from below, side & the front..

splashes of water will not harm the engine or any of its components..

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

even without bonnet lift rain drops still enter engine bay thru the bonnet perimeter line....

so not a problem at all....

plus....the rain drops just falls on the fender line and goes fly anywhere....nothing to be worried unless u were driving without bonnet....that one sure rain water easily kena those sensitive area...

Is not that simple for water to enter engine bay.

Just don't open too much.
Later the rain clean your engine.

you're right bro, i raised my hood bout 1", but when i wanted to open the bonnet, the edges pressed on the plastic thinggy at the windscreen & had a hairline crack.

so i had to cut off the edges to raise my hood so that my rear turbine does not overheat, & it does help alot.

if u want to raise it abit (less than 1") then no need to cut la.....

to me, i might abit increase more power. because hot air is hard to compress rather than colder air is easier to compress. thus this might somehow increase abot power. maybe smaller CC engine might not feel significant improvement, but bigger CC might have some improvement. if ur engine produces alot of heat, it might affect the temperature inside engine bay. that's why racing car has louver on their front bonnet. to suck hot air out. but it cannot force air into ur air intake unless u channeled a intake from front or its a forced induction.

be careful when driving in rain though. Malaysia rain is very "geng" and you dont want water to go near engine/electrics.
