Best FUNCTIONAL Vented hood for FC3S?

Flys · 01-12-2009, 02:24 AM

So, is there any under body aerodynamic charts? How does the transmission get cooled off with all of this air exiting before it?

The transmission doesn't need to be cooled. The temperatures that will hit the components of the transmission are significantly less than the engine itself.

the panspeed Type II has my vote!!

Doesn't the TII tranny have "fins" on the bottom to help cooling??

We have a lot of pics.....I was thinking about it and can't find a good way to test the hoods right now.

I'll do it for sure at the next race event....test the NA hood vs. the vented one on both the NA and TII. Take temp readings after one full run and then try again. Eventually I hope to get more people to do this and get some numbers going for different hoods.

DMAX or stick with a TII hood imo

Those ribs are for reinforcement strength, not cooling.

Just use my damm hood lifts and show them!

These hoods look great but in any case, I'd go for a fiberglass carbon hood. The aesthetics thing doesn't matter to me also.

Id like to see something like this C6R hood where the scoop mounts flush against the radiator. I would think with the V-mount of the stock radiator, plus the available room in the engine bay it wouldnt be that hard to do.

I agree.

I think if you had ducting from the rad to any vent on the hood it would help with under hood temps.

I figured such as well. There would also be room at the top of the hood for some vents to vent some of the hot air in the engine bay. The biggest problem I could forse is getting the hood to open, but im sure theres ways around that.
