Did refresh my KN engine and cabin filters. Have these guys for 50K now and no problems.

I am doing this every 10K for the cabin and every 15K for the engine.

Isn't it great? I stuck a thin rubber pad to the top bracket in between it and the hood. Just instinct.

Hood struts. One of my favorite mods.

Fitted some Verus hood vents. I don`t know if they do anything.

Well, airflow will be significantly reduced with those rain guards.

I plan to remove the guards when tracking.

They raise temps underneath.

Honestly, I don't know. I never considered tunnel temps before reading @rice_classic's tales of melted CV boots and hot transmissions.

That’s an interesting thought, I’ve never really thought about how incoming air is designed to continue through the engine bay into the tunnel, cooling the transmission and other various drivetrain pieces in the process. Or whatever fwd has aft of the engine.

It would be cool if a company made a vent like the Civic Type R has. I BELIEVE it’s purpose is to ram air straight into the transmission tunnel. This then creates a low pressure area or some other magic and can then begin to suck the engine bay heat into the transmission tunnel.

I did a search and came up with Zilch. Any ideas where? I`d like a read.

Here's some discussion in his build thread. I have to find where he discusses transmission temps. Honestly, the possible detrimental effect of venting the hood is pure theory. The underside aero is all deliberate, and the exhaust heat must be shed. If I was considering a vented hood, I would take readings at key areas. One in particular is the hot spot in front of the right side sway bushing. Then I'd pull the hood and repeat the test.

Maybe there's no difference underneath. I almost feel bad for mentioning it.

Okay thanks for that. I did read a thread by Verus Engineering on their temps with and w/o the vents. They measured mild temp drops around the coil pack areas.
The main reason I want some heat relief from the vents is the freshly installed Oil Cooker.

Oh shit, yeah. That's a no-brainer.
