This is the last time I try this picture posting, too much trouble click on the 'Posts' on the menu and then the picture that shows up takes you to the gallery. Then click on the green ball with a 'P' on the middle right side and it'll show a menu. resized them to less than 1300 pixels wide, then uploaded them to Imgur so I could get the URL's but nothing worked to get the pictures to show, sigh. Update: I worked for FOUR hours trying to post the pictures. I did have to cut some of the braces but I then fabricated some 'dropped' braces to fit under the new hood vent to regain the lost strength. I ran across the Ford Shelby Cobra GT500 Heat Extractor hood vent and thought "AAh, that's an elegant solution!" Able to be positioned in the optimum low pressure zone on the hood and big enough to vent heat and pressure yet fairly good looking too. (I guess I'll sell them).Įxploring all the other possibilities including a new CF Sebon VS style hood - although that was just too much money for something that might not work effectively. I bought the Verus Engineering Hood Louver Kit, 'small' with rain guards but when it got here it didn't satisfy me. So I looked at all the hood vents offered by the 86/FR-S/BRZ parts suppliers and wasn't very impressed. You can see the hood flex up as that pressure enters the radiator and goes into the engine compartment! it's like running into an invisible air wall! I also have a Subaru oil/water oil cooler done as per this thread: Īnd it helps but I also wanted to reduce the engine compartment temperature too.įinally, I wanted to reduce the hood lift that happens when your doing high speed and an oncoming semi's (it's doing 70 or 80) pressure wave strikes you head on. I've also got an Inovate Oil Temp/Oil Pressure dual gauge mounted in a pod on the dash too for double reliability (you can see the pod in some of the pictures). Note that I am not just guessing, I have constant engine monitoring by ECUtek's ECU-Connect plugged into my OBD2 port and have an old Nexus phone on the dash showing me all the important parameters while I'm driving. and the problem I have had is the pipes for the header are about 0.050 from the oil pan causing heat soak and during hard track driving or long duration highway driving (in West Texas it's not uncommon to be doing 85+ for over an hour ) the oil temp gets VERY hot even though the engine water temp is "normal".

I've got an Edelbrock E-force Supercharger on top of my 2016 BRZ engine (putting out 280 WHP on a 90 degree day which makes the BRZ 'JUST RIGHT' as a daily driver and track car) and going out of the engine is a FT86Speedfactory UEL catted header.
