hi ben a warm welcome ...... whats the spec of the engine? Early metro turbo engine (with the strong crank). Rebuilt with forged rods & decent bolts. Only running std boost - with noisy (crap) blowoff and an intercooler of unknown origin. It's not the fastest thing in the world - but still a lot faster than my mpi sportspack (which is rustier than a rusty thing - my current project soon to be b18c6 ITR engine) Doesn't quite belong in this forum I guess - so sorry if I offend anyone with the devils own engine photos following...

I like the holes in the bonnet of the red car, very subtle indeed. Not so sure about the Japanese metal, but each to their own

Nought much to see with the holes... Just 50mm holes with some mesh glassed on behind - then sprayed... Only way to get some airflow to the intercooler that was easy... Wish I didnt have the stupid ducts on the back of the bonnet - one day I'll get rid of both and sort out some hidden ducting with fibreglass/carbon - would prefer if it looked completely stock- but thanks.

NACA ducts upside down. I'm curious about the theory about that :) On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

Both projects look good to me. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

NACA ducts upside down. I'm curious about the theory about that :) Ok- generally NACA ducts (the normal way) are pulling air in due to a pressure differential above (high) and below (low). Flip em over - and they work as extraction vents - airflow creates a low pressure zone and 'sucks' air out... Ok - that's my theory - an I'm sticking to it...  (or just chalk it up to a bad idea - I have many of these...)
... Sorry about the vtec... (yet another 'bright idea') A great forum - really nice to feel welcome as a newbie... Cheers all! Edited by Madmx on 14th Nov, 2011. |

Ps - they do work! I had my boost gauge hose blow off and melt on the exhaust manifold - much smoke came pouring out those vents... |
