Front radiator venting pictures
 
I'm looking for pictures of options for venting the air out of the front trunk area, car is a 930 turbo that has renegade hybrid system. I'm trying to help a friend out to finish his v8 conversion. I've looked though most of the threads but maybe haven't found what I was looking for.

Thanks & Aloha

i vent mine under the car. i dont plan on driving so fast that that will effect the handling of my 78 930! i have been to some fairly high speeds and venting beneath the car has not caused problems. i think that too amny of us overthink this conversion. maybe if building a race car then who knows? besides most hood modifications kinda take away from the overall looks of the 911-930 lines! to me the main problem isnot so much venting but rather keeping hot air out of the cabin!

Do you have pictures of the "bottom venting " size and location? We have seen the hood and fender exits, which I also don't like the looks.

no i do not have any pictures of the opening.. have you altered the size and shape of your gas tank?

Greetings and thanks. Although I have a 914 and not a 911, I am still attempting to educate myself. I am looking for new ways and new or different ideas. And no, I still have the stock tank.

I found this pressure plot on google for thru hood cooling for oil coolers, but I'm planning for 200mph at somepoint so the through the hood is the safe way, also it adds down force. A jeep xj radiator is about the same size as the front panel, vs cutting a NOS tank to do it renegade style and put it either out the bottom, or get slantnose vent fenders and manifold it out the sides..... But those are the options I've found in my search, good luck!

Also about 15-18" from the front of the hood is what the pressure plot shows as the lowest pressure area for proper flow
