#1: couple of things being done today Author: sniper1, Location: Warwickshire for home-london for workPosted: Fri Sep 03, 2010 5:51 am ---- well i am sat in my house waiting for the postman to deliver my closed induction kit from PUG1OFF, and it will be fitted as-soon as i get it
once thats done i am off to renault to see my friend who is going to fitted some bonnet spacers and lift the rear of my bonnet.
thought i would share that with you all lol

well it is supposed to help the heat escape....as i have been informed by pug1off.
plus i think it gives the car an aggressive look

#6: Re: couple of things being done today Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Fri Sep 03, 2010 6:28 am ---- mate dont lift the rear! TRUST ME!
it doesnt let heat escape it increases the temp of the engine bay and causes heat soak for induction i dont it and lost power.
plus the temp was constanly over the 90 mark, dropped it back down and now it looks better, feels more punchy and temp is fine.
but your choice but just vvoicing my opinions
#7: Re: couple of things being done today Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Fri Sep 03, 2010 6:45 am ---- How could it cause heat soak and raise the temp?
One thing I've always wandered, surely it lets a lot of rain in?
#8: Re: couple of things being done today Author: sniper1, Location: Warwickshire for home-london for workPosted: Fri Sep 03, 2010 6:45 am ---- not sure how that works?? how does it not help heat escape? your creating a opening at the rear.....with the bonnet fully closed heat is traped...with the opening it has a place to escape...
correct me if i am wrong because i am no mechanical engineer but its pretty simple physics
#9: Re: couple of things being done today Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Fri Sep 03, 2010 6:48 am ---- there is somethin on the web showing results of some1 who done it.
it riased the temp on mine because cars today have been designed with the air flow in the engine bay taken into consideration. by raising the bonnet it disrupts this air flow and creates a more swirl then a straight flow through stop the hot air escape as efficiently as it does when bonnet is standard.
ill find you the link mate

#11: Re: couple of things being done today Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Fri Sep 03, 2010 6:51 am ---- The funny thing about the internet is anyone can post up what they want? Also every car is different so what may not work on one car could work on another. I'm not saying the bonnet lifting is a good idea but I don't think it's detrimental to temperatures. You think that creating a few mm's gap will create a turbulent flow?
On a standard car the engine gets its air supply from the wheel arch anyway.
#12: Re: couple of things being done today Author: sniper1, Location: Warwickshire for home-london for workPosted: Fri Sep 03, 2010 6:52 am ---- i understand what your trying to say dude, find me the link....im still going on trial and error and will find out later for myself, easy to correct if your right and il let you say i told you so lol
#13: Re: couple of things being done today Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Fri Sep 03, 2010 6:53 am ---- lol go for it mate like i said try it you might find it diff but that was my views

OP, the physics there is pretty sound! Those swirly things are called vortex's (no relation to the alloys LOL), it's the same concept behind aeroplane 'winglets' (the little tips on the end of wings). They cut through the air better, and prevent vortex's from forming in the air at the edge of the wing, then preventing any disruption to aeroplanes flying in the wake.
I can't comment on what will definately happen lol, but can't hurt to just try it out and if you do see those negative results, then just stop using it?
#15: Re: couple of things being done today Author: sniper1, Location: Warwickshire for home-london for workPosted: Fri Sep 03, 2010 9:21 am ---- Just fitted my induction kit, its basicaly a bmc cda but pug1offs version. now when i orderd it i asked about a cold air feed and the guy on the fone said to me the 206 180 has a good cold air feed system already fitted, that goes to the wheel arch, and...when i fit it i should have it seated in the base of the orginal air box, he said this will do two things....1) shelter it from heat 2) supply it with a perfect amount of cold air.
so this is how i have fitted it.....now i am sure people will have something to say about this so...lets hear it lol
