Does the diseasall have a top mounted intercooler?

I pondered a bonnet scoop some years back but couldn't find a reason to put any air over the engine by scooping it in.

Get another bonnet and remove the scoop and and skin it in carbon?

Or have vents that vent?

I think the diesel scoop is different?

I was thinking of opening up the horizontal planes of the louvres on the blanking plate?

The suzuki 'S' in my bonnet plate has mesh behind it as a vent. The bonnet plates were pretty easy to make and they cover a welded in section of mesh behind the S cut out. Works well too, but then its a little different to yours. Maybe the auto trans is adding to the temps under there for you? I have a thermal probe strapped to the bottom rad hose and it never goes above 60C

And loosing drive by cooking the transmission fluid is really high on my priority list! I will continue with design ideas thanks buddy. It seems that the plate has a complex reinforced grid at the back so opening it could create a monster whistle trap which would suck. More ideas.

You can try to order JB23 bonnet, it has a working scoop.
And while at it, you can also grab an AT radiator from JB23, which came from the factory.

Hi there! Do you still have this in stock, or do you have a contact to the supplier?
