Turbo Engine Lid

[Piddy]

The guy thats dropping in my engine wants to sell me a turbo engine compartment door w/ the raised vents. He wants $40 for it.... should I do it?

[MRQtwinturbo]

of course get it....unless u still want the "sleeper" look...nobody will know u have a 3SGTE in there if u still have the NA non-raised vents....

go sleeper and after you smoke someone you can tell them its turbo and piss them off

or get it and preven retarded people in civics and otherwise slow cars from making an ass of themselves, either someone will figure it out sooner or later

[MRQtwinturbo]

but the only problem is that only mr2 owners will know that only turbos come with raised eng lids......

[Piddy]

Ya... I plan on running a few people sleeper style first. Hyandai GTV6 w/ a huge tach and absolutely no mods. Says he has ran a Vette!? I don't think anyone would really know the differance unless they owned or knew too much about MR2's.... I will probably get it just cause it is a good price .

^^i like to tell ppls i'm all stock too..but they never believe me....

wouldn't a n/a "hood" raise the temperature of the engine bay considerably?

and get much less cold air on the intercooler?

[MRQtwinturbo]

it wouldnt make much difference....the NA lid is till vented...just not raised...so heat still will dissipate regardless....

thanks Q, i don't get very many opportunities to get up close to mr2's up here in northern ontario...

Na... that Hyuandi guy is a fool. I ran him in my Supra when the clutch was bad and was still a little ahead of him.
