[QUOTE="rlepecha, post: 591667, member: 19679"] Yes, I did the calculations for the ears, the airflow into the engine bay has no ram-air effect, the pressure inside the engine bay at speed will always be slightly negative as the pumping effect of the cylinder filling and cooling fan flowrate is significantly higher than the amount of air the vents will capture. With ears the air flow into the engine bay will approximately match with the required flow at 65mph; thus providing almost nothing, even more so given the fan and engine will not struggle to pull the required air in through the vents anyway. http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?t=70527 Sent from my Swift 2 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
