when I get my full vented hood completed. I will let you know.. underhood temps are HORRIBLE, but it gets hot man..

and yea man when I get home I will do a few passes so you can hear my waste gate.. so loud ..lol

I really want to see the end result. Vented hood is pretty high on my todo list. I saw a DIY on the S2k forum and it looks...do-able.lol

Please do. The internet needs moar turbo Z videos.

its got 8 vents total, 2 in the center and 3 on each side..

and from what I have done as far as research.. it should pull a lot of heat

And Ecutek will eventually be used for boost control. Right now its just on there for data logging and tuning. John told me scaled traction control and...hold on to your hat...speed density tuning is right around the corner. I cannot WAIT to ditch these MAF sensors!

With the turbo where it is, that close to the radiator and intake pipe, I'd say the pros far outweigh the cons.

I'm anxious to see what he can do with speed density, as well as the VVEL/VVT and timing on a turbo car. Plus, boost control in each gear is almost a necessity. I'd like to be able to use second gear again.

and trust me, the blanket is a GOOD idea...

I guess my phone post never made it. Yeah the turbo blanket is pretty much a necessity.

Haha that's how mine is kinda off. 1 12"x4" vibrant muffler and 1 vibrant race muffler.

Is a single 3" big enough? I was under the impression that the stock two 2.5" pipes outflow a single 3". Maybe a 3.5" would be more appropriate. Considering you guys can build basically whatever you want, why not go a little bigger?

The plan is 4"+ single or 3" duals in the future.

Chuck33079 · 07-27-2013, 01:29 PM

Ok. That makes more sense.

boosted_mx5 · 07-27-2013, 02:43 PM

Yeah in time it will happen. Want to see what we can push with this set-up first.
