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

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 · 10-27-2009, 07:25 AM

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

HAWAII · 10-28-2009, 03:08 PM

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.

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

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

R33E8 · 10-29-2009, 11:39 PM

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 · 10-30-2009, 12:26 AM

Just get a smaller turbo.

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.

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.

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