Thanks

 

induction kit? ditch the stock intercooler and keep the stock intake snorkel on and make a small shield around the filter and you wont have heat issues. this is the only "track evo" ive seen with done and theres tons upon tons of 500whp+ on this site that dont even do that.

 

Car looks nice and clean, but the hood makes it look like it was in an accident and was never properly aligned.

 

^this. And put the undertray back on.

 

Its all about heat extraction and a few time attack evos in the uk run spacers and a few in other motorsports but as thanks for your comments

 

lifting the back of the hood will most likely not have the effect that you think it will and might even lead to high speed instability due to lifting on the front end. The point where your hood and your windshield meet is a high pressure area. This means that when you create a gap there, the hot air under the hood will only get sucked out if the pressures under the hood are greater than the pressures at the base of the windscreen. If the pressures at the base of the windscreen are greater than those under the hood, then air will instead be sucked under the hood. This air would have nowhere to go besides under the car which would create lift....not good.

The only way to tell what is happening is if you either tuft around the area or do an experiment using pressure sensors.

I also would caution against removing your undertray in the hope of cooling the engine bay and everything in it more efficiently. This is a common but often false assumption. The undertray not only protects components in the engine bay from debris and water, but it also ensures that there is correct airflow under the car and through the engine bay. Removing the undertray can sometimes actually lead to an increase in underhood temps and decrease the cooling efficiency of the radiator, intercooler, tranny case, and oil pan....just some things to consider.

Beautiful car though.

 

mmmmm some thought provoking points there.

I am of the understanding that more air will escape from the lifted bonnet due to the air from the front forcing more out of the back of the car, the undertray will be going back on but im working on it at the moment I was being sarcastic LOL

I do think the car runs cooler with it off and the raisers help since fitting the temp has been a few degrees lower on average according to my gauges ????

Thanks for the helpful post buddy

 

So is this an actual FQ-340?

 

Yes it is a IX FQ MR340 number 077

 

if anything, having the hood propped like that not only screws up the aerodynamics, but probably makes cooling difficult, mitsu designed the hood, vents, vents on the bumper etc, to work together to flow air through the engine bay as much as possible and have the hood propped up like that is just screwing all that up, otherwise mitsu probably would have designed it that way
