Making your inter cooler work right, needs a new bonnet.

[JohnSt]

How many of us have front mount intercoolers ? Most of the serious cars in Ecosse from what I see recently. Last weekend I picked up the very thing to set it off right, and  make it work right. Reducing the air pressure behind the Rads (rather than increasing with a bonnet scoop), getting the airflow throught the intercooler and Rad. And it looks great....pics to follow.

[JohnSt]

Sorry, didn't mean to make the post sinister, New bonnet, that's all, but one that works right with a FMIC, rather than hampering it.

 

(Oh did I mention it's light ?)

Come on any ideas what it's going to be - I'm intrigued too? Perhaps a new type of updraft vent for wisking the hot air away, ala Evo? Or slam panel plate? I'm on the edge of my seat here!

[jcscoob]

Aaghhh, eh carbon with no scoops and lifted at the hinge side ???? 

C,mon .... need to know . []

[JohnSt]

[RA Dunk]

[jcscoob]

John that looks totaly mental [6][] so wots it made of ?

[JohnSt]

Thank you for the kind comments, Rab (been watching your posts, when you learn to Spell subaru come and critisize, Z1000, but then what would you know [:|]  ) it's (very) proffessionally made. I'm 'very' pleased with it, second Scottish scooby to do a 10sec 1/4 mile, on the day I fitted it. (not that I'm a fan of drag racing, but most of you seem to be),

 

Fibreglass this one, as I tend to compete and therefore bend things, can be made from carbon though

i think it`s fiber glass jon . but im not 100% sure

I think more of us are impressed with the technology behind it and how it can be applied to our own cars John. Or that the men behind it are the same people we can use to tune our own cars.

Andy's car and his mapping on yours do much more than any advert ever could.

Plus we know you can turn a corner nicely too.

Very similar to mine, will post a picture of the vent

Real Sports is the make of mine and made from GRP, Japan only item as far as i am aware

Congrats on the 10sec run

[JohnSt]

Thanks Stephen, Cheers Grant would like to see a pic of yours to see how it compares, these (are/will) be made here.

Quite enjoyed TOTB, made a nice change. Enjoyed whupping some seriously trick kit on the handling circuit, but some of the straightline cars are awesome for what they are made for, Andy, of course topping the lot in the performance stakes.
