Naca hood vents

[M0nkeyMark]

Just curious as too how many members are rolling around with naca air ducts on their hoods. They have really been growing on me and i am actually considering them as opposed to buying a whole new hood like a dmax vented hood. Any opinions are welcome.

something like this:

I'm planning to put one on my cf hood.

That's awesome. Where would I pick one of these up?

Unless the owner of that car has done a creative relocation of the air filter/intake, I can't see how that duct would be of any use in that location. All it's doing is drawing cold air into the rear-passenger's side of the engine bay. If it's to feed the air intake, then it should be near the leading edge of the hood.

I believe the R34 GTR adopted a NACA duct on the passenger side of the hood (as in the pic posted) to direct cooling air onto the rear turbo as it gets the least air circulation. The intent was to increase the life of the rear turbo. I could be wrong on this.

[DJ]

yes sir Bobbo ,you got that right it was to cool the rear turbo

perfect air feed for my single turbo

Yup, I was about to say the same thing!

This car is from the UK is it not? I remember seeing the build but Im not sure what site. Thats the most beautiful, mean looking R32 GTR I have ever seen imo.

i want to see more of that car looks amazing

and +1 for the vent

[DJ]

its that austrian guy on gtruk

[Snake556]

I'll take one too, please :P

[M0nkeyMark]

I'll see how good of a deal i can get on the vents while in the market for one and let you guys know. However due to my lack in sources, a lot of you other fellas might have better luck than i will. I would like to see a group buy for these naca vents in the near future =P.

Yes the car belongs to Austrian GTR, and here is his build (quite a bit of his mods were sourced by neweraparts):

I believe for a proper NACA design the edges of the cowel has to be sharp. That one is smooth.
