Stage 2 sc build has begun

Yea I know how the intake temps affect everything ... just didn't think removing the row bar would help very much

Take a look at the one fast intentions sells, could easily be replicated, my reinforcement bar covers a lot of my intercooler,like at least half

In my opinion, I can't see that heat would affect the S.C. intake when at speed.
Idling, yes.. Lot's of heat there..
The crash bar is behind the bumper so I don't know if there's much effect there ..
Somewhat unrelated, I use a Spal fan on my oil cooler. Makes a huge difference.

You guys really don't think that covering half the intercooler has any effect on intake air temps? Even at speeds?

Guess I'll be the guinea pig, carbon fibre ts vented hood and stillen bumper. See how it works out.

Not sure how your guys cars react but on a decently warm day at speed if you don't turn ac on the z gets crazy warm in cabin,almost like the heat from the engine bay has nowhere to go, kinda like the Dodge Vipers back in the 90s, just my opinion.

I have a TS vented hood, with OEM coupe front bumper and standard crash bar.
Sitting in traffic in Houston for over an hour my temps are usually this:
-Water 210F
-Oil Temp 220F
-Intake Air Temp varies depending on outside temp mainly but stopped traffic I over 20-30 degrees over what the car states is the outside temp. I move forward a bit or roll 5-10mph and it drops quickly to 15-20 degrees over ambient

A vented hood works great in the heat and traffic and on the great 100+ days here in Houston can be a life saver, though I try not to drive far on those days or get stuck in traffic.
