i agree with this idea. you can get one of those FAL fans also to help. adding a turbo really shouldnt be making your car over heat unless their are other issues going on right?
Well its not over heating.Its just that Im really parenoid about warping my head.Its just that it seems so ------- hot in there .Im gonna try some vents first to draw air into the engine and a better fan.

mine gets hot as ---- too, try this: don't redline it all day long, that tends to heat ---- up, and if you stay out of boost that helps too.

the 3rd one down has my vote but you have to becarful with them i had one on my crx and since the vent was lower than a normal hood it would rub the valve cover and make these really annoying vibrations....really really annoying vibrations i'll post a pic cause i miss my baby

Take it one step further... cover the hoodless engine bay with black mesh to give it that ultra stealth look

now run the bolt through the hinge apply the buttload of washers evenly between the hinge and the hood... this will cause the hood to be a bit raised from stock configurations... allowing hot air to escape.... looks weird but works...
i agree with ghetto-d. just do the hood tilt. it works on my buddys h22 hatch to cool it down. and ive seen some fast street cars with the tilt. looks crazy but it works

Hey raffi, i dont think the hood will help u much honestly. Id go with the 2nd one if any. However i recommend you upgrade to an aluminum radiator, its cheaper then the hood, look on ebay or hit me up i know a place that can hook you up, problem solved
