Front Bumper Venting

[mrmickeymouse]

I have been looking at the LMS GT's [996 in wolf's clothing] with basically the same arrangement for cooling we have, but they have ducting which brings the air into the front radiators. The air then exits next to the radiator drawing hot air away from the radiator instead damming it up like we do [our system acts like a funnel.]

I was thinking of drilling some holes :eek: in my front bumper and venting the hot air out through a vented hood facing away from the air travel [basically facing towards the back of the Boxster.]

My belief is that at speed it will create a negative pressure venting the air out the vent.

The reason I bring this up is, I do not think I have come up with a genuine idea and you have done this already. I also do not like to to see high temps [iMO]

:welcome: some ideas or reason not to do it, beyond aesthetics. If there are any backyard engineers or people with ideas please chime it.

I have spare bumper so it would be no loss for me to see.

The turbo accomplishes a similar goal with a gap at the front of the hood. Very subtle - which might not be the point :D
