Carbon hood vent UNIVERSAL - unpainted matt

"Our part has to work and have a technical advantage in addition to its appearance, otherwise we won't build it." - Speed Engineering GmbH

All parts were not only developed but also manufactured in Germany and are therefore 100% Made in Germany!

In addition to the racing look, this component has two very important functions

1. Reducing the temperature in the engine compartment.
2. Lowering the lift on the front axle.

Re 2: The air flows through the radiator and collects in the engine compartment. This creates excess pressure which, among other things, exerts a force on the hood and relieves the front axle and generates lift. Furthermore, the air usually escapes via the partially open underbody of the vehicle. The higher the air volume under the vehicle, the more the lift is promoted here too.

The air vents allow the air to escape via the hood and thus reduce the overpressure in the engine compartment. Here is a small excerpt from our simulation model:

Our vehicles were fitted with temperature sensors at several points in the engine compartment:

Measurement runs were then carried out and the results are reflected in the following diagram:

The orange curve describes the system with venting and the blue curve without venting. Now the results seem confusing at first, as the temperature seems to be higher without venting. But this is exactly the result we wanted to see:

The sensors were placed in the upper area of the engine compartment and you can see that the air does not take the path via the underbody, but instead passes the sensors at the top and flows over the vehicle. Bull's eye!

We have provided a cutting template of the component in the product documents. Please print this out in the original size and test whether the vent fits in your hood.

TÜV:

We have made sure that our breather combines maximum functionality and legality. The cover is designed in such a way that it hardly allows any water to enter the engine compartment, but still has a function thanks to the ventilation slots at the appropriate angle and it is impossible to reach in. In addition, attention has been paid to all curves and radii so that the component can be registered by means of an individual approval. But do you want maximum ventilation on the racetrack? Then you can remove the cover using the 4 screws and ride with a pure racing part.

IMPORTANT: For vehicles registered in Hesse, we cannot carry out registration !!!

Installation:

If the "installation flat rate" option has been purchased, only the installation time is displayed. The standing time at our location in Castrop-Rauxel is 2 full days so that the adhesive can harden for the TÜV approval.

Please note: Especially with foiled cars, the film can be damaged when cutting out! Of course we try to prevent this as much as possible, but this is not always possible!

Die Positionierung der Haubenentlüftung variiert je nach Motorhaube ! Grundsätzlich dürfen keine Tragende Streben entfernt oder durchtrennt werden.
