New Pace build in NSW

[Buzz]

Very interesting project. Thanks for posting the updates and pics, Hail.

Don - I was wondering if there's even a need for an intake air scoop. With all of that hot radiator air routed up and out of the engine compartment, the only thing left in there would be some radiant heat from the engine and exhaust manifolds. Underhood air temps should be way lower than most cars and a simple duct into a wheel well or bonnet/cowl vent might be all that's needed to supply cool intake air.

Buzz I was thinking a cold air box and cone filter mounted in an inner guard somewhere would do the trick, depending on available space.

I also think a small cowl scoop could be effective and look the part, though that's getting even more radical, and care would need to be taken to ensure that the whole bonnet did not then become too "fussy". My preference would be an under-bonnet solution.

Hi Donunder, My thoughts along your same lines cold air box and cone filter also the pressure on shroud would be high as someone mentioned and I was thinking a trap door from the shroud opening into the airbox at speed would also force more air in cone filter
