Outer Limits 4x4 Board

G'Day,

Just wondering if anyone can inspire me with some pics of zooks running bonnet scoops. Forward & Rear facing ones and vents. mainly just to give the heat somewhere to go. Nothing special under my bonnet, going for the true Ricer look

Also any shots of sierras with rear bonnet lifts, (or whatever they're called) I've seen this done to GQ's etc but not a zook.

Thanks

heres one

im not sure wat he got this off but its for the intercooler

think it may be wrx

tazz off here his brother has lifted the rear of his bonnet
i belive he runs a lux motor?

I've lifted my bonnet to fit the 1.6 8v with weber carby... very simple job.

YOU NEED:

- 2x Chair Stoppers (rubber bits that go under chairs) must fit stock bonnet rubber stopper inside it!

- 2x polyurethane washers (i made my own from a 6mm piece i had laying around)

- Bolt Cutters

- Access to welder


HOW TO DO IT:

- Remove bonnet and put in shady place.

- Remove stock rubber stoppers.

- Put washer inside chair stopper, and stock rubber inside chair stopper

- stock screw should just make it back into the bonnet, so re-attach stoppers with new 10mm height gain.

- use bolt cutters to cut latch for bonnet in one spot of the hoop, bend/open it up just over 10mm and weld it shut with some scrap steel laying around.

- put bonnet back on zuk, but with screws VERY loose... then get a mate to lift the weight of the bonnet right up off the screws as they have about 5mm travel in the holes... so you can get the back up 5mm without any modification!

- dont do up bolts too tight as theyre high tensile and brittle - and the firewall is hi-ten also so it cant be drilled easily if you snap one! (i found out the hard way)

- Voila! slam the thing shut to make sure the stoppers are touching and the latch should engage!

This was perfect to fit the vit motor with no body lift and stock suzi air cleaner with more than 10mm clearance between aircover and bonnet.

once weber was on we cut the bonnet bracing also to fit it better =)

just remembered i had pics and a page made when i did it... so re-uploaded it to the net temporarily...

tristan was running a 2.4 lux diesel
bonnets back down now
as the radiators mounted in tray
diffs engine & dual toys are all sold

hes now building a tube chassis with zook body tub
308-turbo400-dual gq trans & unimogs axles

If you send me your e-mail address I'll send you a pic of mine.

I just cut 5 40mm hles in the back of the bonnet and they work great for getting heat out of the underbonnet area. Air flow just pushes the heat out and it helps to keep my windscreen defrosted

Hey Grimbo upload a pic if you have one... sounds pretty cool!!!

Another idea could also be to elongate the standard 2 holes on the side of the bonnet...

I also had an idea once of massacring the front end of the bonnet and meshing it up to make a scoop out of it. If i remember, ill do a mock photoshop job of what i mean and upload it.

*EDIT* Did it now so i cant forget =P

Sounds like a good option, have to look for pics.

It must get real cold in your shed for the wind screen to frost up

Ive got a bonnet scoop on my suzi. Thought it would solve my overheating problems due to my customised tool box underbonnet and thermofan. Noticed no difference when installed, went back to an engine fan and problem solved. Looks good though. Its a WRX copy from Autobarn, cost $30.

how did you go about mounting it, as the bonnet line in the middle comes to a point????????

Mine is screwed in and I used a product called Sicaflex. I mounted it behind the clip where the windscreen would fold down onto. Hope this assists.
