It's easier to do so....but no. I have mine pulled because I am dong it prior to install because it is an engine swap.
It would be a bitch to pull the front cooling shroud and fan inside a 914....but I guess it could be done. |

I have a extra engine lid that I want to punch louvers in to get more air flow to the engine bay but I dont know anyone that does this work in my area.
It would keep most of the rain from comming in and allow the turbulant air to enter. I dont know which way to face the louvers to get the max flow thru. Bernie (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Bernie,
Find a HotRod / StreetRod place. That is very common for them to do. |

no rules, just wrong Group: Benefactors Posts: 2,321 Joined: 13-January 03 From: San Jose, CA Member No.: 141 |
Hmm, which way to aim the louvers is a good question.
I would get a pack of 3M post-it notes and stick them to the engine lid. Bend them so they stick straight up. Go for a short drive and use the rearview mirror to see which way they bend. You might even get different results at different locations on the engine lid. |

We did the same thing when we were trying to figure what to do about cooling my race car off. We used some stips of cloth and tape and found the air flow was very turbulent over the engine lid since the area just behind the windshield is in a vacuum created from the engine sucking in air and the poor aeodynamics of the roof line. That is why we went with the curved air deflector but on a street car it would look really "ricer"! I would face the louver openings to the rear as most hot rods I have seen have theirs that way. Good luck
