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


pose_Z34

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??

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

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 an essential part of the cool system.

Just add a valence, and you'll be fine

 

Valence is part of the cool system, too.

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.

I was thinking the exact same thing as I read the first few posts in this thread :lol:

 

 

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:
