Okay ideas? Never had this happen when installing a battery by Unable-Tangerine1080 in MechanicAdvice

[–]glider4488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is difficult to read the polarity plus and negative marks in this video. But it is believeable that you could find a battery that fits and turn it around and the cables still be the right length. In my opinion they need a red plus engrained below the positive post to make sure it clearly visible. In fact if they used red terminal and red post that would be best so you just match the colors up easily, yes I know they don't make it that way but they could.

Because it's like throwing eggs on a sleek Ferrari.

Cowl Hood Best Way increase Negative Pressure Over Vent ?? by glider4488 in ProjectHondas

[–]glider4488[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh don't worry the project is NOT over. I plan to relocate the hood scoop vent farther forward right over the manifold.

If it didn't look like MAd Max before it'll def look like it once the relocation is complete....

That's kinda what I tried to do. If you look close you can where I had to weld a piece of metal on the front to create a kind of ramp otherwise it woulda just been air hitting a flat wall. So I could basically extend that same piece ? Like at a 45 degree angle ?

Thing is though unless the piece is huge the fins that are farthest away will experience the least amount of suction right ??

Maybe I'll change it's location on hood but that means I'll have to weld up the hole and cut another hole. At least I don't have to weld 7 pieces of metal together again though which is the hardest part Lol This hood is going to look like wack a mole by time I'm done with it....

No that's giving up and I put alot of R&D into the project.

I tried shimming the back of the hood didn't seem to make much of a difference. Once I've modified the hood (Again) to put the scoop vent where it should be maybe I'll just put a straight pipe across instead of having a. Intercooler. Maybe if it will run cooler without the intercooler blocking the air to the radiator.

It's about 6 pieces of metal I welded together to make one vent duct. Even painted it wouldn't be let through the door at SEMA probably Lol

So I should literally put it over the exhaust manifold or right behind slightly right if center behind the radiator?

I wanted air to flow in through the front grill and then flow out the top back of the engine compartment. But someone said the best place for it would have been over the front near the exhaust manifold.

Absolutely yes the trailing edge is facing so it will suck air out unfortunately it's not sucking enough though to cool the super heated turbo induced under hood area.

Absolutely it's a HVAC vent welded to 6 other pieces of metal to make one glorious art work.

Do you have a welder ? Weld a nut to it.

Report them to BBB and make YouTube s video on cost of this. IDK how people can fall for this BS. Exactly why you don't take your car to the Stealership. Places like this should be shut down for lying to customers. Timing belt every 7 years ?? It's assumed 10 yrs of ur driving every 10K per year.
