Heat soak - vented hood options that are not "louvered"

ANMVQ · 05-16-2014, 09:55 AM

like Wheel said you reuse all you stock hardware, I ran that hood on my G37 helped a lot with temps,

Hood down, mounted. Excellent heat release.

That does look very nice

Have you logged temps -- just wondering what the net change was?

^Nice! This is swaying me more and more toward this hood. Do you have any full frontal shots? haha I'm serious, would like to see it straight on too.

Translation for us folks in the US:

plus 64 degrees on Sunday and I couldn't get oil temps over 194 with a 19 row cooler.... 2 hours hwy driving and some city.

What were you seeing previously under those or similar conditions?

wheee! · 05-20-2014, 06:05 PM

Temps around 100...

I will try and get some more data soon. I've only had the car out once since the install...

roplusbee · 05-20-2014, 06:35 PM

Perfect!

aerojacket definitely works well, my oil and water temps have yet to exceed 195F and that was beating the crap out of the car at 16psi. normal driving my oil temps sit around 170 now, 180 if its warm out. this is with a mishimoto radiator and a 25row oil cooler.

^^^ That's pretty impressive.

Just make sure you aren't over cooling -- beating on it much before 170* F is a bit on the cold side, but hovering right around 180* - 200* is probably perfect in terms of lubing and also keeping the ECU and valvetrain happy.

Yes thats definitely worth mentioning, too cold is bad. It's annoying when its colder out because it takes longer to warm up, and I don't boost at all or rev over 4k rpm's if the oil is < 160F, but I don't drive it at all during winter so its only a minor annoyance in spring/fall. Once it gets to summer temps here I will be glad I have the extra cooling.
