Except that SHM $130 passenger side oil seperator

Awesome work!!

I see you are running without the hood vents. How is that working for you? I was having a discussion with Jimmysidecarr about removing them for track days to get more airflow out of the engine compartment.

LOL! That was a 'freebie' to do some R&D on the OT. I would never pay for something that simple to make.;-)

Last year I ran without the hood vents, but my temps was always a little high -230/240 on really hot days.
And this week I am going to do play with two big dyno fans and a modified halloween fogger to see if I have enough airflow.

how deep does your duct work go? these cars are bottom breathers, not nose breathers. you should be able to block off the grille opening completely and not overheat.

Looks awesome, nice work! Noticed you are from London, ON. I had a blast up there a couple O' years ago on a business trip. Nice lil strip club right across from a bar called The Honest Lawyer as I recall......

Is that cooling mod with the silver tube and plate for the head cooling issue? Looks like you were able to do it with the SC on and even the strut brace.

Are you selling those and how well did it work? Are you running any other mod for the head?

My ducting is fully boxed & sealed to the heatexchanger and wrapped around the bumper support on the inside.
I don't think leaving the grill open will hurt...

Cool, next time stop by! Never been to The Honest Lawyer but Flesh Gordens will rock your world...

This is just my version of the even flow mod. There is just not enough room to knock an insert with a pressfit into the hole safely without removing atleast the strutbrace. So I made the insert out of aluminum with an o-ring and a little clearance that is held in place with the clamp.
I have my first OT day in 2weeks on the Dunneville Autodrome, then I'll know if it really works.

 

[CobraBob]

Nice mods you've done. I love when people have the means to do the work themselves. Allows the creative juices to flow. Let us know how your OT day works out.

 

[ShelbyGuy]

no, but blocking the airflow from underneath might. then again, it might not. :shrug:
