Daffy, looks great!
What sort of temps were you seeing in the engine bay before and after the vents?

Richard, had dinner on rocky point road a few weeks back. My wife says there's an mx5 with a bonnet scoop. I turn to look and it was you! I said that's Richard and it's a vent not a scoop. Lol

Thanks Daffy, keep us posted how you go with airflow and cooling system function. Ive got some vents of my own coming up shortly, if you dont mind Ill quote your "like riveted roof grates off a 1930’s black brick house!" when taking questions too, cheers.

Hey speed,
Cant say for sure what the temp numbers were pre vents as well as running the e85 (80 - 90 degrees? assuming only) The best way I gauged how hot it was went more off how red and sweaty mechanic Darren's brow was, how bad he singed his fingers, and if he was using either s**t, f**k or c**t words when he was rooting around under bonnet after the engine had been running a while!
The under bonnet temps are better about 10-15% perhaps? especially the vent over the turbo side). Its currently a case of give it a go and see what happens, (NitroDann I'm sure I have at least one or 2 more cases of worm cans in the pantry to get through!!).
Seriously though, Im always receptive and respective of feedback from the wise who have been there, done that and know much more than me.
The problem child is my 1st turbo vehicle, after only ever playing with N/A powered v8's and big 6's in the late 80's and early 90's- (gen y's, thats when seizure inducing strobe lights were a tuners best mate :shock:

), so any thoughts and opinions are very welcome and genuinely appreciated.

Standing on the side line Monday morning when the results are in aren't anywhere near as interesting or fun as getting in there, having a go and either f*****g up royally on game day or coming away with a win and a story to tell!
(will keep you posted IanR, and feel free to quote away mate!!)

So far so good buddy, under bonnet temps are stable and the cooling even with the stock rad are good. The turbo side vent works so well you can use it to blow up balloons when the engine is running!!

That must be fun!
Lots of questions.
Is there a build thread anywhere?
What intake is that?
What spec internals?
Compression ratio?
E85?
Did you have to beef up the drive train?
