For others that are adding a hood make sure you adjust your hood latch up before closing your hood so you don't crack it. Or if your using hood pins as recommend just take out the OEM hood latch

@TORQToolbox 4 года назад

@jhelmsing 3 года назад

The hood scoop on the CTR doesn't actually push air into the fenders. This has been assumed at first glance and then repeated continuously. The silver duct is a drip tray, and it channels water from the rear scoop seam toward the shock towers where it pools. The air actually vents just in front of that tray. The deflector behind the washer nozzle tube directs it out of three fairly small holes down over the back of the engine where it's intended purpose is to help relieve positive pressure at high speeds and also marginally encourage airflow through the engine bay. It's a very mild design, and I think there are several more ways to make that scoop more effective and efficient if someone really looked into it (or replaced it altogether with a louvre design to extract heat). I've even heard that the yield from the design was so small the designers were going to eliminate it altogether but at that point, dies and so on had already been fielded for the now signature hood scoop.

@TORQToolbox 3 года назад

I really appreciate the explanation brother

@jjwill9982 4 года назад

great video but really a complex installation than what i thought initially. really got 2 think twice now if I want to get a CF hood.

@TORQToolbox 4 года назад

Yeah it was definitely more time consuming than I expected

@smokeyb2155 4 года назад

Hey Jon, just an fyi if you didnt know or to put here for others to see, When you get a hood or anything really from a high rep company like Seibon that price tag is more than people usually think about. That includes things that you wouldnt think of like fit and finish as in the warp of the piece, extra holes for certain things like the washer tube clips you mentioned, thickness in materials and can also be that they may use say 4 coats of resin on top of the carbon vs say 2 coats that another brand uses. And a question, the 2 1/2 lower hole you drilled, was that big enough to use a socket around that nut on the latches?

@TORQToolbox 4 года назад

Totally makes sense, unfortunately they didn't have a hood that extracted heat from above the turbo when I ordered it

@Mikey6048 3 года назад

EPR quality for being cheap Chinese carbon fiber is actually quite good. Many of my interior pieces in my R35 are EPR and look and fit perfectly. You would never know. Why pay more for something nobody is ever going to tell the difference. Also you can use silly putty under the hood where the pins would go. It makes a perfect dimple of where you need to drill. I've used this technique successfully in the past.

@lawrencehwang8561 4 года назад

FK8 OEM hood inlet is to promote heat extraction... not for aero.

@TORQToolbox 4 года назад

Totally agree with ya, for some reason on the wind tunnel test it shows air coming out the fenders from the hood scoop

@lawrencehwang8561 4 года назад

@@TORQToolbox Normally, after air goes past the radiator, it rolls over the top of the engine and then down between the engine/ fire wall... then out via the bottom and sides (between the back of the front tires & wheel opening) of the car. During the later stages of the development, It was found that by directing the air to the side and exit thru the fender vents, it improves heat extraction resulting lower coolant temp.

@Richiekind 4 года назад

@TORQ toolbox, the video says the fender vents are made by Seibon, but your link is to APR. I’m on the fence between both companies. Which did you actually get? Thank you

@scholarsbjj920 2 года назад

@@TORQToolbox I just got the same hood. The difference with you closing it in the video is that you basically punched it closed. lol You had a lot of force coming down then made contact then pushed with both fists. If you place the palm of your hand on the hood at the latch (both hands) and gently give some pressure (like you did when demonstrating the driver side warp issue) it won't crack and you can close it a thousand times. Also, I'm finding the exact same gap on the drivers side with the exact same "warping" as you. Very minor but it's there...almost exact. Did you find any solutions to correcting this? With my OCD it drives me crazy. LOL
