turbominicooper Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 anyone got a pic of a NA bonnet on a mk1 GT? thinking about doing the swap and raising it at the back (let hot air out), no need for scoop with FMIC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 It would need modified at the front for the lights and grill as they are a slightly different shape on a N/a EP8* Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bluebear Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Surely raising a bonnet at the rear isn't going to evacuate any hot air? What with it being in a high pressure zone due to the air meeting the bottom of the windscreen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Surely raising a bonnet at the rear isn't going to evacuate any hot air? What with it being in a high pressure zone due to the air meeting the bottom of the windscreen. i dont think anything looks worse. but i think that the its pretty simple basically, air takes the path of least resistance. so the high pressure point or turbulent air at the bonnet/windscreen has got to be less that the air pressure that is trying to escape the bay. It would be my opinion that it would work because the volume of air getting compressed up the back of the bay has got to be pretty great give the gaps/open element of bodywork at the front of an old car like ours. raising the bay will actually reduce the turbulence at the bonnet/windscreen point becuase your tying them in better. increasing the angle. adding some upward movement of air from the bay may improve this even better. so im summary and in my opinion at a standstill hot air rises and an extra opening at the back of the bay will help (slightly) and when driving air pressure should push some extra air out also. But it looks very.... escort rs turbo. (naff) Phil Edited May 18, 2015 by Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
