Revived; TMIC cooling options

[ginge191]

So i need cooling for the 205, i was looking at bonnet lining, but had a look at a 205 and 306 lining and both seem to be, well, 'meh' is about all i can say, so need alternative cooling...


I was looking at using a SMIC for the setup, found one from a pajero and thought in total, it has about the same cooling capacity as a TMIC, yes it's deeper, but our's are wider.

I've got a couple of pics, any sort of photoshops would be awesome, as subtle as possible please

all attempts repped!

You could even try the old desk fan approach?



Or failing that, stop being cheap and go for one of these.

[ginge191]

How's about 2 of em in the middle

[ginge191]

i did think about this but not sure how it would look at all... but yep, it is an option!

or a mitsi evo type bonnet...? cut outs?

Unfortunately the evo vents havn't got a lot of direction for air flow, and would (i assume) just flow a breeze, i'm after a bit more of a shot onto the intercooler

[Jukie88]

Just cut the bonnet with a grinder down two sidesaddle a across like an outline of the tmic then bend the bonnet backwards so air flows directly onto the intercooler and mesh the gap so no stones etc smash it ???

I think this is what I'm going to do with the spare bonnet I have until I put fmic on

Yes! they're ideal - not too big, quite flat, poi-fect

[ginge191]

Courtest of Warlord on .net, i'm liking this a LOT!

[C.A.R.]

Looks a bit pish.

Only scoop allowed on a 205 is an original T16 jobby.

Ta-da-

HTH

pmsl...repped

Just do what they have done with the matt black sedan. Cut 3 sides of a rectangle and fold it down over tmic

[ginge191]

As awesome as the T16 vent is, it's fairly pointless in relation to the TMIC

Not a bad shout TBH

Somthing like this, simple ,cheap, works & dosnt make you look like a barryboy

That is perfect! where is this from?!

[puglove]

its that SonnyRoby guy from romainia

[ginge191]

Ah ok, i might pm him about it, see how/where he got it from

[puglove]

IIRC he go it from his angle grinde think its just a tidy hole cut in the bonnet, i wouldnt cut the back edge though and fold it down to direct the wind back at the IC though. then a bit of that U shspped rubber trim around the edges

[samass]

Thing with that, is that its not actually going to get any significant amount of airflow through it, and thwres nothing directing it in. It'll work a bit, but the major of the air will just skip over the top

[puglove]

Nah you dont know what your talking about lol

[samass]

Nah, I do a bit

[puglove]

May be a little . Bit if you stick your hand out the window and flap it about abit that will direct tye air into the hole. Gigity.


(thats hand out the window not cock)

[ginge191]

Ok, so i'm reviving this with a slightly different title.

I'm noticing BAD heat soak and related boosting issues with the lack of cooling to the TMIC.

Possibly a bonnet lining would suffice? but would prefer an alternative; i know the scoops are an option; a grinder and a vent isn't too hard to install, but visually a bit gash.
I understand that a couple of mist jets could be of use also; but how much do they/can they actually cool the TMIC.

Any other ideas would be awesome!
