Love the idea of a vented hood and some vents in the front fascia. Cooler is better!

With all respect for all your efforts.
From a style standpoint. It looks a lil awkward. Something makes it not match with hood design And the white car probably makes it worse looking. I think u still need to tinker with design on a looks standpoint. Function standpoint... it sounds great. Just get those numbers out on ya research. :) |
MSA has some hood vents....

Nice! They look to be direct replacements for the old Z vents.

I apologize to all of you for the delay in getting the DIY. I've been trying to link up with him to no avail. I'll keep trying. |
Nice job.
Another idea would be to use the OEM GT-R hood vents: 650 Hood Panel, Hinge & Fitting :: Body(Front,Roof & Floor) :: Genuine Nissan Parts :: GTR Parts (R35) 2009-2010 :: Nissan Parts, NISMO and Nissan Accessories - Courtesyparts.com |
Ok I finally spoke with him and it turns out it was on the S2KI forum the whole time. Difference being is they just used preexisting holes on the hood whereas I just cut straight through the support bars. And yes it will be fine :D
Without further delay he is the DIY for the vented hood, S2000 Forums -> DIY: Vented Aluminum Hood : S2KI |

Since those vents are in the high pressure area by the windshield, I'm not sure if its going to help as much as it would if the vents were closer to the front. Would love to see some temp data.

Zeto, nice look! I do like them there instead of the front. |
Absolutely. My garage is still warm in the morning if I've been driving the car hard before I put it away. My entry level understanding of aero leads me to believe the best solution would be an extractor style vent over the gap between the overflow tank and front of the motor. That way you would get heat rising out at idle, and heat would be pulled out at speed.

Looks awesome and it's functional, if anyone was planning on supercharging, great way of dispersing some of the hot air. Worked great on my 03 cobra and similar style. In the winter, you could see the the hot air venting from the hood. The real question is how much did it cost you?
