curiosity question :)

[theorekz]

why when transplant engine the hood must be lifted a bit har?

thanks
:)

i think ppl do it just for added style. just put a washer at the bolts holding down the hood and you get the lifted hood effect.

yes some mayb is for style
but some may not
for example if a wira with a vr4,evo1,2,3 engine it must do so
bcoz the engine is much more higher n bigger compare to original proton engine
besides that it oso help to reduce the hot air under the hood that produced by the engine

nope, its because the engine won't fit in properly especially for Proton mod to mitsui engines like VR4 and Evo...Sometimes they cut one of the brackets on the hood to give exra space and sometimes they lift the hood.

sorry, what i meant is there bulge coming out from the bonet. the cam pulley side will actually hit the bonet. so what they do is cut a piece of the bone structure from the left and knock it out a bit

1st....to let d hot air escape from engine bay..

2nd....evo cam puley there r abit higher....if din lift up d bonnet in wira...i think cannot close d bonnet....nothing related wit mechanic

mine is jacked up so god-damn high! raised by 3 nuts! i actually feel a bit malu cos when ppl c they probably think i'm such a f.cking lame-ass poser showing off etc... currently trying 2 figure outta way this can b solved without cutting a small hole in the bonnet so the cam pulleys can fit nicely underneath. *sigh* shit i sayang my mivec bonnet so much :( i don't wanna cut it! any other suggestions?

change to evo bonnet..settled

 

[trex92]

but actually there are a few wiras/satrias around with modded engines like VR4 and Evo that can fit in properly without cutting the support bracket or lifting the hood wan. So, it is actually possible, crystal_method...

 

[crocky]

make air scoop at tat part also cool what

 

[crystal_method]

change to evo bonnet..settled

dude what part of my posting do u not understand man? yes i know change 2 evo bonnet all's settled, that is god damn obvious i think everyone knows that, my whole point is to KEEP the mivec engine hood yet have it fitted nicely... o well i'll figure somethin out...

 

[crystal_method]

ur rite bro

i know man my fren's evo-in-satria and another VR4 RS-in-aeroback wira their mivec hoods fit sooooo fucking PERFECTLY it makes u wanna piss in ur pants man!! i suppose maybe its cos they got the engine mounted a bit lowe perhaps?? dunno la whatever la it jus fits damn nicely la wei.

cos they want to let the cold air comes in ..if they dont put a hole in their stock bonnet or change their bonnet with hole like evo or celica..so they just higher their bonnet to let cold air in and also let their turbo breath..

 

[boosook]

hey crystal_method..leave it like that la..its cool wat..dun care wat other thinks..having the hood jacked up looks garang..hehehe is not that ur using a proton's engine and jacked up ur hood..if it is then ill call it poser la..but urs not..so ur not poser

 

[verticalimit]

having the hood jacks up serve special purpose for all type engine.

first maybe people think style but actually its to release hot air from

engine bay. its just easy change the hood nuts to bigger nuts then got lift effect already.
