Does the CF extremes reduce the amount of air that stalls near the base of the windshield and gets sucked back into the engine bay? Side note...it would be great to offer an easy to install and remove rain cover. I used to put a tarp under the hood/over the engine...until I forgot to remove it before going on track. Why is my engine so hot!!! lol
@@breakmywalletmotorsport No. any kind of hood vent, louver or duct dumps hot slow moving air into the cool high speed air going over the car. This is why it’s really important to not have vents anywhere near the back of the hood and to have the cowl sealed. Even if there are no vents a high pressure zone still forms at the cowl area. If you have a engine air inlet at the cowl the best solution is side hood vents so the hot air goes around the sides not up the middle to the cowl. Besides, that stalled air at the cowl creates some front downforce. No rain trays here, they completely kill vent functionality.
How much influence do the components in the engine bay affect the air flow if there isn't dedicated ducting to the vents? Something I've wondered for a while.
@@rocketsurgeon11 components have a definite influence on flow and drag. The more room or openness between the rad and the hood vent the better it is, no exit duct needed, in fact an exit duct can hurt functionality. Here’s a wind tunnel test we did our Louvers vs an exit duct. racelouvers.com/content/Race-Louvers-Mustang-Hood-Shootout-Wind-Tunnel-Data.pdf
Link to purchase???

Those look great!
I assume you were not running the oem ducting on the oem hood? Just a oem vent?
This is amazing!
This is awesome!
Should I run an open hood radiator exit, or are the cooling louvers better? Would adding a few aero spikes to the back of the roof, and raising the wing help? You may get more air to stick to the roof and you'll have cleaner flow to the wing.
Smoke through the radiator would have actually proved something….
Lol. We use instrumentation and log data during wind tunnel test runs to prove functionality.
Awesome work! Congratulations!
Can you share some more info about fan shrouds and their negative effects? Perhaps make a video about it showing with and without a shroud?
This is great info thank you. I've been looking to do a heat extractor for right behind my radiator on my 2015 Fiesta right in the middle of the hood.
The aerodynamics are amazing
cool
cool
This may sound odd, but I am looking at putting as pair of split center vents on my 2010 Tahoe. It's not a race car, but when it is triple didget heat In the summer I would love to give the engine as much relief from the heat as it can get when we are running it all day for work. I will also take whatever aero advantages it can give me on the highway as well & hopefully some intake air cooling as well while rolling due to reduced heat soaking of the air box & intake pipe.
When it rains or snow does hood luovers actually potentially damage the engine?
Most engine bays are pretty waterproof. But, you'll want to make sure your louver isn't directly above the spark plugs, distributor cap, or any other area that can hold a puddle of water around electricals. For example, my car has a kit that relocates the ECU, and that location allows water to pool on the harness connector under the louvers when placed for best airflow. The solution is a simple shield for the water to roll off of when parked. You probably also don't want rain soaking into an open air filter if you have an aftermarket intake. But you should avoid open filters under the hood regardless, simply because that's where all the heat is.

The positive pressure on the ducted system will make the air more dense. Dense air cools better. Possibly negate the reduced air flow effect on cooling. Exhalent video, thanks.
Test was made with the radiator at working conditions temperature (so around 100°C) or ambient temperature?
Is it possible to make measurements of flatfloor and diffusors? This would be also interesting
We’ve done plenty of aero work. www.trackaeroconsulting.com
Thanks man very helpful
Are those hood vent on top of the jeep hood?
Awesome, I was wondering about this for my Jeep .
I’ve got an e36 I’m about to redo the cooling system and track it one day. This is the exact video I was looking for thanks!

So what are the numbers?
racelouvers.com/content/Race-Louvers-BRZ-FRS-GT86-Hood-Extractor-Wind-Tunnel-Data.pdf
Would adding a small fan operated oil cooler/transmission cooler behind a louver or a few of them provide additional cooling?
Was there a clear advantage over the carbon hood? Thank you for all the testing and data.
We will be releasing the data soon but yes the race louvers had about 25% more front downforce and about 10% better cooling then the carbon hood.
This is great! Thank you for this information
More smoke tests. I wanna see smoke going down an intercooler scoop with exhaust vents on either side
Cool! Pretty neat project! So in conclusion, the lower rear vent would be the most effective? Providing the most down force and less drag with the liners installed. Or i am reading the down force char inverse?
It makes more drag but between the rest of the aero kit that's usually on cars this size the engine is easily able to compensate for the little amount of drag it has compared to splitter, canards and wing/spoilers
Why is there such a big difference between the mustang and the bmw regarding downforce, like the mustang makes more DF with a milder louver?
Every car and aero setup nets slightly different results. That’s why we opened www.trackaeroconsulting.com
Can’t wait to try all of mine out. I’ve got your vents for the hood, front fenders and rear bumper
Really good job on this
This is now my favourite channel on youtube. All this testing data available online and for free?! Thank you so much!
could i cut the back of the hood from one side to the other? a definitive opening instead of lifting the rear. Or would it be better to just cut the central part?
where is the pdf? I didn't find it on the website. 8:23
its right in our data section "hood shootout' racelouvers.com/content/Race-Louvers-Mustang-Hood-Shootout-Wind-Tunnel-Data.pdf
The reason is created more drag was the disruption to the air flow over the roof and turbulent airflow on the windshield.
Nope, drag was due to improper gurney on a vent not designed for a gurney flap. Shows adding a gurney to an existing vent doesn’t always work.
Just a suggestion: in future videos can you show windspeed and drag numbers in addition to DF? That would be very helpful. Thank you.
That data is on our website
No smoke in front to see the suction and exhaust of the hood louvers?
Damn thanks to show the proper way to make holes in the bonnet 👌🏽
Great video, just found it. I have 1984 chevy caprice Ls swapped with Lm7 5.3 bored. 020 with LSA supercharger . Was thinking of adding vents to hood get rid of heat, any suggestions?? Thank For Your Help
Your best bet is to email us a few pics and estimated dimensions to info@racelouvers.com
@@racelouvers7958 Ok. Thank You
I have a 61 bugeye street car with a sbc 383ci My underhood Temps are way too high. Looking to add hood louvers to extract radiator heat.. Hot Air flows into the air cleaner causing stumbling.
That 383 would love it if you let it breathe through a real ram-air intake! Yeah, and add a couple of louvers on the hood. I got a pair Large hi-flow louvers from them for an older miata. They worked great, could see the air bacon just rolling up out of them when idling in the hot summer.
Ducting behind rad that points the hot air out the louvers or it won't work well and won't like the rain either. Wish he'd of showed with the hood up, but you can find a picture of the ducting easily only for an idea how to build yours.
Did I miss reconnection of under hood bracing to skin after all cutting? or are some of the screws long, and catching brace (Under)hood?
I don't understand the advantage of this system. nascar and gt3 use this system, correct? Wouldn't a cowl induction be better? What's the advantage of air going up and not going through the engine?
This is louvers on the hood which provides an exit airflow path for the radiator improving cooling. Nothing to do with engine air inlet.
why not a cowl induction system? would take air out of the radiator, engine, engine compartment, it's much more efficient. if it wasn't good, the dragrace people and those desert runners wouldn't use it.
@@eltonv8taothe supercharged Audis 3.0tfsi models already have a factory intake vent that is forced induction. It sits in between the gap of the hood and grill slim and wide, goes into the airbox , then tube to throttle body
Put them on the roof too
Do you guys make a drip tray for these vents by any chance? I daily my GT350 in Houston and would like the increased cooling these provide, but we tend to get some heavy rain here
Sorry we do not make drip trays for any of our louvers, drip trays completely kill louver functionality, most cars especially new modern cars are water resistant so its not needed. The only issue we have ever seen is using an open element airfilter directly under a louver, a simply filter cover, sealed airbox or hydrophobic prefilter is the fix.
Ok.
