blue95 0 Posted April 28, 2009 How the hell do all the FI peeps keep the under bonnet temps down? Problem I have is alot of heat build up at the back of the block. When you open the bonnet you can feel the heat on your face big time! Anyone got any vents fitted or have any suggestions? even contemplating getting my bonnet louvred (Renault 5 turbo style) or getting a carbon bonnet with vents eventually. Most turbo cars I have ever driven have always had vented bonnets, R5T, RS turbo, cossies etc. I'd rather do something sooner rather than later though as keeping everything under the bonnet cool, can only help with longevity off the engine and all components.

Dave.Warlord 0 Posted April 28, 2009 Quick fix would be some ducting from underneath to blast some cold air up there. At least until you get your new bonnet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave.Warlord 0 Posted April 28, 2009 I used to have a Uno turbo when I was a kid and had the same prob (Runnin way to much boost :wink: ). I just went down to my local scrappy and ripped some of the corrugated plastic heater ducting from behind the dash of some old bone. Worked a treat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
