Z34 hood vents?
First its crazy performance work, now its nutty appearance mods.
What will you think of next?

Keep up the great work!

[nocutt]

What the heck are you doing awake '88GTU?  

I had the Z34 hood vents on yrs ago...till an unfortunate incident the hood went bye-bye, I figured why can't I suffer a wittle bit more...put em on again.
I wish I have enough time to make an aerodynamic plate underneath the car to make this an extreme function during highway speeds...well I guess we will see (meaning I probably won't do squat   )
Newayz thanks...n go to sleep

I work midnights, and I have the next few weeks off.  So in the mean time with all this 'free' time, I am going to try and hook up my turbocharger.  I just need a few pointers still (That's in the Other Tech Questions forum) .

Z34 hood vents are something I always wanted, but I started to think about it....  Nahhh I'm fine with my turbo project.  

That plate will not only be a wind cutter, it'll be a skid plate for when you take them high spots in the road.

LOL...I hear you...

[nocutt]

heatshielding taking too far  



...also have one for the Dp...to avoid the boot on the steering rack to 'seeing hell on earth'

[nocutt]

...and you thought the wiring was over...
I spliced in some more wires and lenghtened old ones to accomodate the solenoid (Bst controller) and AIC (additional injector controller)...

[nocutt]

...and after...

[nocutt]

pics of vacuum block already filled...

[1988GTU]

It looks a lot simpler with the hood on...  

[nocutt]

Chris West shop must have been filled with about 8 ppl googling and touching everything today..."whats this?", "what's that?"...I am really honored and humble to be sharing, no secrets here   ...Now if I can just get my 3" 10 feet stick...and I will be done with my catback...steve ('tenessee')  

As of now...nice shot,

And yet it still looks clean.  

Very nice!

[89GTZ]

Looking very good.  How much more time until it is on the road?

I still want that strut tower brace.

Looks great.  I do have some reservation of the injectors and fuel lines within inches of the exhuast side of the turbo.  I hope you don't plan on running that turbo until it's cherry red or about 1400F because even with heat shields the fuel line operating range is just under 500F.

A better option depending on how flexable the line is would be to route it infront of the intake.  It would also put the injectors(remember these are plastic) towards the front of the car where it would get some fresh air.  When the hood is close it is going to push those gasoline lines closer to the turbo.

Or else you'll be doing this project again. ÂÂÂ

Keep up the good work and remember to carry a fire extinguisher!
