Well...this won't help in cooling the engine as it really needs no help and is regulated by the thermostat. These engines run pretty cool (water temp) actually at 180 degrees. Opening the fang vents should provide a little air to the Airbox intakes. There is no "Flap" so I'm not sure what you're talking about there. Water is NOT an issue. If you really want to improve things, connect the fang vents with the Pass through to the airbox for some forced cool air. DIY here: http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...ur-airbox.html
