Might be a crazy question, but.....


Recommended Posts

I noticed a pic of a 1991-94 Lumina 3.4 sedan and it didn't have the vents on the hood. Aren't the vents there to prevent cooking the motor?

 

Reason I'm asking is I'm thinking of temporarily swapping the hood from that very car to my Z34 while it gets repainted.

 

Opinions??

Personally I think it will be fine, the cuttys came with a 3.4 and how many of them have vented hoods... :P

Na, it won't really do any preventing from cooking the motor. I think 95% of their purpose is for looks.

Never thought about the cutty's. Always saw them on the Z's and GTP's, but wasn't sure about the 3.4 sedans.

 

Thanks guys. :cool:

x2, the 3.4 euro sedan did not come with hood vents stock, AFAIK the Z34 got them just for looks. :cool:

they do allow for some heat dissipation, but they are not an essential part of the cooling system.

Just add a valence, and you'll be fine

 

Valence is part of the cool system, too.

going down the highway is where they should be making the least difference.....

During highway driving, the engine shouldn't get hot enough to require the cooling fans in the first place. With or without louvers.

 

But I know what you're saying Adam.

Going Down The Highway, My Temp Stays Nice And Cool With My Vents.

 

Oh yeah, well going down the highway, my car stays nice and cool with no vents!! :nana:

still, the cool factor is major, especially on the GP, and the Lumina, makes em look fast....and i am pretty sure it adds atleast 15+ hp, but dont quote me on that.... :willynilly:
