Not sure what you meant by improving overall flow, as the ZN6 oil pan opening would also serve as a outlet for air to flow out of the engine bay. On creating a cover - probably not worth the work at this point (and you could just get a used GR86 panel anyway).

You could be right about the oil pan opening venting heat, but in my amateur opinion it seems like the opening is far too big to create a pressure differential that will allow effective air evacuation, especially compared with the "louvered" flaps you have created. I'm just thinking that if that area was covered, your louvers would siphon out heat even more than they already are. Could be completely wrong about that though. Would only require some sheet metal and 3 screws for testing though! |

A smoke machine would be great to see how the air exits...

@Compelica, I really appreciate your job, but would't it be easier to buy the vented Beatrush panel?

Where I live, labor is in a way, affordable but products are expensive - it cost me approx $24 to get it done at a metal works shop with laser cutting and a machine to do the bending.

Unfortunately, labour price is not the same everywhere...

My point being this something someone could do on their own for free.

It wouldn’t be pretty but I could replicate that with my 4 1/2” cutoff pretty quick.

I did this a long time ago just for fun. Also needed to bang a bend in the thing to stop rubbing on the jdl header. I also drilled holes in my side emblem thing. Not sure it does anything but I have felt heat coming out of it parked after driving. Just street, no track so I don’t see any ill effects. Thanks for your testing.
