Hey guys,

Bit of a bimbo question. Im soon going to be cutting open my bonnet to fit a Z tune style universal bonnet vent. Im currently running splitfire coilpacks with the coilpack cover removed..

Just wondering what i should do once i fit this bonnet vent? Should i simply just not take the car out at all when it rains or just fit the cam cover back on once ive fitted the bonnet vent?

Let me know what you guys have all done...

Thanks

The vented bonnet should come with a piece of metal that you can bolt back on to cover up the vents from underneath.

When it is cold and wet, you won't need the vent as the ambient temp's are a lot lower.

Have you jet washed your engine with the cover removed? did it fark it up? If it hasn't you should be fine because less water would get in through the vents than a jet wash, and at lower pressure :)

I have a carbon vented bonnet and I've never had a problem with water in the bay. That said i do have a cover on the coils, but I jet wash it and theres no problems.

+1 put the cover back on

hmmmmm

Am i defeating the purpose at all of the vented bonnet if i put the cover back on the coilpacks?

I understand the purpose of a vented bonnet isnt only to keep the ignition system cooler but im just thinking what things would give way first with too much heat....

not much you can do unless it comes with the plate like mentioned earlier, my mate just bought a border racing bonnet from jap and the vent is HUGE! BUT it was designed for FC rx7's so the vent spills the watter into an area with no electrics and what not.

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
