anyone got a pic of one on a corsa? or any bonnet vents infact. my intake temps with the throttle bodies is rediculously high.

got a few trackdays coming up so would like to fit a vent to keep things cool!

Dont bonnet vent it.

Open the bumper up at the bottom or raise the bonnet at the back.

They all have plastic round the rad, unless there is a full width slim radiator on off of an A/C model in place.

all plastics are removed from the rad, bulkhead has been removed, heatshield on the manifold and rad, 2 large cold air feeds.

tried raising the bonnet but although it did release some of the heat it promoted the hot air to be drawn across the top of the air filters and out under the scuttle panel so although it was a bit cooler it didnt help much (read the intake temps with the laptop plugged in whilst driving)

was thinking of fabricating a box around the front of the trumpets and fitting a vent to duct cold air behind the box.
