Got any more pics Mike? Looks well done.

Patrick,
will take some more from close up & underneath - the shop did all the work once I pointed to the Flatnose they had in and they just copied the louvres with no real input from me.
Tell you these Indian bodywork guys here can work miracles with very little tooling.
Guess they get a lot of practice at home

Isn't water infiltration in the engine a problem with this, I mean some of them are right above the alternator. Not while driving but when stopped, water just flows in.

I don't understand why most want to add vents above strut towers.

The area where vacuum will be highest is over the first half of the hood, above the front end of the engine and this is where the heat coming out of the radiator goes.

This was when the car was running a 3.0L supercharged system and I needed to get air through the radiator.

Why wouldn't you want the louvers to be over the headers and turbo areas? Seems to me this would be a more efficient area to extract heat...

Yes/No??

Thom

This is not what I said. I mentioned strut towers.

I have the D9 units as well, however not finished with the install yet, coming soon.

Thom , I only used your post as a reference to placement. Most of the venting I've seen is toward the side over the struts. My question is wouldn't heat extraction be more efficient over the areas that produce heat.. headers & turbo

I'd think the hood vent from the 968 Turbo RS be the most ideal hood vent option especially since it's venting the hot air from the radiator and intercooler.

Thom

It works only with the intercooler.
The air flowing through the rad still goes into the engine bay.

Thom

The hot air they generate should be pushed somehow to the firewall by the air going into the engine through the front end.
However, as the firewall is vertical below the hood, I rather see the heat flowing down along the clutch bellhousing than properly flowing upwards through a possible central vent just ahead of the firewall.

The area over the struts, just ahead of the firewall, is the highest point where the air moving in the engine bay should be flowing, so placing air vents in this "dead end" makes sense.
However, there is little to no place for the air to reach the area over the left strut because the heatshield for the master cylinder is sealed to the hood. I would guess that a left vent is more efficient for balancing the look than actually venting out much air.
I think the right NACA inlet on the 968T hood was also used to balance the look, as it leads directly to the PS bottle.

This is nearly impossible to make functional on a 951. If it could have been done I would have done it. D9 sells it. I discussed it with them for a long time. You have to make many structural mods that in my opinion killed the deal for a street car.

Any more pics of those 930 style vents would be great.
