Universal hood ventilation for the engine hood V2

In addition to the racing look, this component has very important functions

1. The reduction of the temperature in the engine compartment.
2. The reduction of lift on the front axle.

2.: The air flows through the radiator and collects in the engine compartment. This creates excess pressure, which pushes in all directions, including upwards, and creates lift via the hood, relieving the front axle. Furthermore, the air usually escapes through the partially open underbody of the vehicle, thus generally creating lift.

The air escapes through the vents via the hood, thus reducing the excess pressure in the engine compartment. We tested this in daily use and on the race track:

Our vehicles were equipped with temperature sensors in several places in the engine compartment:

Afterwards, measurement runs were carried out and the results are reflected in the following diagram:

The orange curve describes the system with venting and the blue curve without venting. Now the results seem confusing at first because the temperature seems to be higher without venting. But that is exactly the result we wanted to see:

The sensors were placed in the upper area of ​​the engine compartment and you can see that the hot air now does not take the path over the underbody, but past the sensors at the top to the ventilation so that it flows over the vehicle. Bull's eye!!

Important : The material can lose its UV resistance in extreme and frequent heat cycles. In such cases, we recommend simply painting the component black to ensure permanent UV resistance.
