hood vent

KEWLPHATDUDE · 06-13-2007, 11:16 PM

I have posted this in the 4.3 forum but no respond

any suggestions??

Hello everyone, I have a 93 s-10 blazer 4x4. And I was wondering if anyone has installed hood vent or louvers in there trucks? I was looking at some sites, that they use luminas z34, and some from gto's. I just wanna get some hot air out of the engine compartment. It doesnt overeat , the needle is just under 210 degrees here are some links and well if you can give me any ideas also...
thanks

i was at the super chevy show the week before last... this dude took a 1st gen hood and make it look like a hood off of a 70-72 chevelle... with the funtional ram air scoop and everthing... it was red with black rally stripes... everytime he revved it the scoop would move up and down....

GeorgesBlazah · 06-14-2007, 12:54 AM

As far as I know he just cut the holes and put some mesh behind it. Deosnt look bad IMO

GeorgesBlazah · 06-14-2007, 12:55 AM

And they sell these.

Im not sure where, but just do a search on google or something. Im sure you will find something.

The only problem I see with using these vents is that if you do any playing around in water or anything really wet you will have a "better" chance of getting water into the air intake.
Thats just my $0.02

Geoff03 · 06-14-2007, 09:15 AM

there is that chance but generally the under hood temps are warm enough to burn the water off pretty quickly. and its kinda tricky for water to go backwards through those openings.

if water is above you windows then I think you got bigger problems than getting water in your intake

What your S10 doesn't like to swim?

ChrisInVT · 06-14-2007, 12:31 PM

So that's why it's so hard to find Z34 vents for us Lumina guys, because all you S10 guys keep stealin' em!!!

I bought a set of ricer hood vents off eBay for really cheap for the same purpose.... First link is what I got.

KEWLPHATDUDE · 06-14-2007, 06:34 PM

the ones that I posted in the second link, are from a gto and they have a water channel to divert the rain water to another place.
i think im gonna do it when I get paid.

lol cool... i've actually had a little fun with my truck in mudd... mines 2wd...

the 1st and last time that will ever happen...

sockjock · 08-06-2007, 10:22 AM

Bump. I'm interested in venting some of the underhood heat myself. Any more ideas would be appreciated. The vents at raceace seem kinda pricey.

hughes1059 · 08-07-2007, 11:22 PM

Joe

sportsdime · 08-11-2007, 02:26 PM

wow i kinda like them doors, it would go with my back window.........................smashed it out a while back and decided to put a clear plastic window with a zipper in it like the soft top jeeps, this weekend that will be happening, either zipper or velcro, looks good with no window, but i wanted to just make tube bar doors, just the pivot point and the latch, but those are nice

sportsdime · 08-11-2007, 02:27 PM

oh and my pickup dont like to swim, i had it up wo the grill and i got almost all the way through and thank god the momentum (sp) carried me through cause it stalled as soon as i got to the other side haha. ran kinda ****ed up for about an hour. going to try it again with the new Bl and new tires going to get a vid to.

AmosM823 · 08-11-2007, 06:14 PM

greencactus3 · 08-11-2007, 11:28 PM

Probably. I have never seen half doors for an S10.

Geoff03 · 08-12-2007, 01:01 AM

sockjock · 08-13-2007, 05:57 PM

I like the look of the hood vents on this Blazer. Got any close-up shots of the hood/vents?

sockjock · 08-14-2007, 12:26 AM

Thanx for the replys. It definitely looks like the hood vents from Raceace are the way to go for me. Soon as I have some extra cash I think I will probably install a set. Any other advice, pics, ideas or install tips would be welcomed though.

Baggey22 · 08-14-2007, 09:44 AM

yea does anyone have pictures of them installing the hood vents? Like how they cut them out and what they used for tools. That kind of stuff.

sockjock · 08-15-2007, 07:54 PM

Jeep Forum has a vendor selling hood vents/louvers and there are some installation instructions and pics on the site.
