im pretty sure some manufacturers design the bonnet so when there is rain there is a little cover they provide...and you can cover up the vented spots so water doesn't it in or the vent my be designed so when there is rain the rain will be directed to the radiator? or something? hope that helps :P

Cheers

Mate, let's face it... you want a vented bonnet for the 'agressive look' - as engine bay was, you got all the air you need.

I've done some research into this and unless the vens are face diagnally as in - it's leaning towards the front and it has some sort of cover on the top for running falling directly down, run + engine bay is no good. Especially, think about it, what if it's raining heavily? Then you're buggered.

Think twice if you want one and make sure you choose the right one.

Good luck.

just make sure you get one with a drop vent towards the front and not the rear of the engine. the area between your radiator and cam covers is safe for contact with water... further back you could short out your coilpacks, your PTU, etc.

I have this on mine and it came with a Cover inside for the vents for the winter and Wet days....But for summer i'll pull it out although in Scotland thats normally one day a year if we're luckly lol.

It's in carbon and was supplied by the lads at www.knight-racer.co.uk

there is too much crying go on on this site.... if you want a drop vent hoood get one.... its not going to ruin your engine.... i have one its fine and it actually has overlay fins which prevent a half inch of water from coming in..... of course if you are leaving your car out in some sort of flooding rain storm then you had better not get one haha

sorry this is the best pic i have of my vent. Hard to see but there are little fins that stop it from draining straight into your engine bay.... believe me they hold alot of water the hardest part is trying to get it all out after you wash it haha

i guess it all depends on what sorta vents you're looking at... bonnets with drop vents let water thru easily while the raised vents like the two above have some preventative bits.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
