Pulsar vented bonnet

Post by Fast Eddy »

As some of you may know, i recently converted my Pulsar to run a front mount.
Obviously the standard bonnet has a large scoop to force air through the top mount and then some of the hot air from the intercooler, rad, turbo, air con plus the heat of the engine is meant to come out of the little vents at the side! Hmmmmm
With the front mount conversion air enters the engine bay via the intercooler, rad, turbo and engine and we need to get rid of that. The original scoop has a negating factor to a point as it creates a positive pressure in the engine bay with still only the little side vents to get rid of all that heat. Obviously some of it is forced down and out of the bottom.
I wanted to sort something to get rid of the heat withour shelling out hundred of

Nice job Eddy, I don't think I would fit something like that to my own car though, The reason being is that the humped sparrow catcher is a big element of the Pulsar's soul in my opinion.

I did have a similar idea myself a year or two a go but it incorporated the sparrow catcher still, My plan is to fit an alloy or FG panel on the inside of the bonnet, that has a slit at the back a bit like you have, But the air flows through the front and out the slit at the back, I would of also added some backwards facing vents to the bottom of the panel to also draw hot air out of the engine bay as it passes through my sealed tunnel.

I also thought that I could mount my oil cooler in this tube as well, Thus giving it two practical uses.

The only problem is I haven't got the skills required to make it myself :oops: .

One day though :D .
