Sun, 18 April 2004 04:34 TA22 GT wrote on Fri, 16 April 2004 22:32 Whats your point about radiation or convection?? How are you going to get convection from the turbo to the bonnet? Simon Ideas like raising the bonnet, venting it or removing seals will reduce under bonnet temperatures by removing hot air. This will lower the ambient temperature in the engine bay... BUT If you're concerned with the effect of concentrated heat on a portion of the bonnet above the turbocharger that's got little to do with hot air or convection (like a fan heater), it's got more to do with radiation (ie. like a bar heater). The radiated heat from the turbo exhaust is heating the surrounding air *and* the bonnet. Removing the warm air will not stop the radiated heat warping the bonnet! You need to look at protecting against the radiated heat, maybe with reflective-backed insulation sheets on the underside of the bonnet or a turbocharger heat shield (which you didn't want to do because your manifold has wank factor).
