hood spacer/riser

[89SwapXE]

anyone knows what brand makes good hood spacer/risers?? i want some for my s13..

[shishcabobers]

Hahahhahahahahah this is a great post! Go to home depot.

[andisan]

"Parts Shop MAX" they sold some for like $20 bucks i think, but you want to PM DC Dan MAX USA (http://zilvia.net/f/members/dc-dan-max-usa.html) to see if they still have some in stock, thats if you want some quality parts.

[Kouki_monstr]

LOL huh? just pile up some spacers..maybe buy longer bolts at most..

[89SwapXE]

home depot thats a nice one will consider it

[Marcus]

as far as i know, camry is right.
true value makes some too lol.

[Nismoknightska-t]

ebay!


.

[SochBAT]

homedepot. get longer bolts, and shims/sleeves.

[89SwapXE]

can i just get some 25mm nut and use them as the hood riser

[cleantune]

prob could. The stacked washers or spacers with longer bolts is just done by more people

[S14_Kouki]

Damn dude unbolt one of your hood bolts, Then buy 4 bolts that are like a half inch or a inch longer with some nuts and figure it out from there. Dont use washers cause 20 washers compared to 2 nuts..... The nuts are easier to use.

Plus it does not do anything.

[sb253]

mad air flow brah

[HyperTek]

this is a great way to make your car look crappy

i did that to my old car back in the day, then after i painted it, lowered the hood back and it looked a million times better. Shit looks silly now and overrated, alot of honda guys have caught onto it thinking it helps their 115hp 1.6l engines.

[!Zar!]

I woke up with a riser.

[Matej]

Just take off the rubber strip in front of the windshield wipers, if you have not already.

[S14_Kouki]

mad air flow brah

You are NOT aloud to use the word brah

[thatdrifterguy]

didnt they use skateboard bushings at one time?

[zenki.life]

this is a great way to make your car look crappy

QTF. the fuck is wrong with people i wonder

[i<3mycoupe]

i used doh doh skatebord bushing

werks!!

[florante rea]

pbm makes them, right?

you too learn how to SPELL.

[Flicktitty]

i got the PSM ones.


they really don't do anything. Only thing it "helps" is driving at night with no heat/defrost the windows don't fog up. car doesn't run any cooler. plus i don't like the look. it was worth a shot.

i will be removing them. pm if ya want them, there gold. and like 1"

do all of us s chassis owners in the IE a favor and DONT DO IT.
it looks like ass. there is already enough janky ass 240's on the road out here. we dont need another

Lot of janky ass cars in general not just 240's lol.

[JEDIs13]

very true
i stand corrected
but its only the janky 240's that make the rest of us look bad lol

[KA-T_240]

Do what the others on here have said. I have it done on my car cause my CF hood has some flexing and was hitting the turbo.

In combination with the venting I did on my front end, in my experience has reduced engine bay temps. I have no proof of this other then watching my coolant temps, and by just my guesses.

[driftsilvias13]

Yeah sadly I had to space my hood up because my new motor mounts raised my motor so I couldnt even close my hood without them. Dont do it if you dont have to. Looks like crap.

[UglyS13Clunker]

haha woww. don't spend alot of money and be creative. i home depot'd that shit.

[keistyle]

you too learn how to SPELL.


I misspelled "Spell" for the sake of irony.



RIGHT ON.

and i used nuts, super easy and simple, just make sure you align your hood correctly.

i knew your were going to defend your self lmao

[lflkajfj12123]

powered by max did not design a part to do this

they just had some nut lying around from their other parts that worked

now they make bank off fanbois for that shit

[fliprayzin240sx]

Its already proven that this shit doesnt do anything...you end up with a high pressure between the hood and wiper cowling so it doesnt "suck" hot air out of the your engine bay.

[hotlavaflow]

I have a top mount turbo and from looking at my temp gauge it does help. The defroster thing is true too.

[HAWAII]

i read somewhere that it does do something to lower the engine temp due to added escape route for hot air.

It is more significant when moving since the air flow from the vents up front passes thru the engine and escapes from the back of the hood. Turbo engines benefit more since heat is the the number 1 enemy of the engine.

Try it out, won't hurt your car a bit except when you use too small a screw or too big a spacer.. bye-bye hood.. and windshield =(

Air doesn't escape out the back of a raised hood. It's in fact the opposite. That is why from the factory they place seals between the back of the hood and the base of the windshield. With air entering the engine bay at multiple locations it starts disrupting the air flow.

and it works as an defrost!!!

learn the english language before trying to post here on zilvia man.
what you said makes no sense. in either of your posts. no raising your hood doesnt work as a defrost. no it doesnt look good.
dont try and throw your :2c: out there on a topic you have no knowledge about. take your your ignorant thinking over to nicoclub or something and fit in with the rest of the d bags over there.

ps. noobs like you deserve to be flamed :madfawk:

its not the spelling that makes me mad. its knowing that ignorant pieces of shit like yourself are going out and buy s chassis.
go put some hood spacers on your car and drive that shit straight off a cliff.. dont forget to leave your seat belt unbuckled too (its jdm tyte yo)

it looks like it worked for them

[R33E8]

I'm raising my hood up a bit with some washers... only because my big ass turbo wont fit with it down.. Eventually I'll just cut the hood to make room for the compressor..

[Matej]

Just get a smaller turbo.

[hotlavaflow]

Yeah I've seen that article. Plus no matter what anyone says my hood is propped and my temps are lower. The argument can go on for years I know it works.

Even if it didn't work at highway speeds, why would you need it to work at highway speeds? When you slow down or stop it'll def allow extra heat out of the bay. Between track runs it's a big help. I don't even understand why some people are so offended by it.

LOL..this guy

Umm, I'd like my cooling when I'm running hot on the tracking, meaning highway speeds.

Chicago style.

No hood.

Do it.

[hotlavaflow]

Umm, I'd like my cooling when I'm running hot on the tracking, meaning highway speeds.

I meant that at those speeds there is so much air coming through your radiator and intercooler you should be fine. If your car is overheating at speed you have more to worry about than hood spacers.

Seriously thinking about it :w00t:

[g-via]

Plus it does not do anything.

I argue that it does something, but the effect is minimal in comparison to favourable cooling techniques.

[ThatGuy]

i<3mycoupe (WTF, did your 8 year old big sister come up with that name, and write it in her Bratz notebook?)

You signed up this month, you don't even have 10 posts. Stop trying to act like you know what Zilvia is about. If you did have any fucking clue, you wouldn't be getting pinked right now for using a derogatory slur, you stupid fuck, dumbass.

In closing, do yourself, and everyone else a favor, and SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Thank you, and have a nice day.

Skateboard bearings work 2

[articdragon192]

I meant that at those speeds there is so much air coming through your radiator and intercooler you should be fine. If your car is overheating at speed you have more to worry about than hood spacers.

You still want to vent that air. It has to go somewhere. The faster you get hot air out, the better your cooling system will work.
