Vented Bonnets And Rain?

[RBJ3T]

OK.

I'm having a conundrum. I recently put on a Carbon Z-Tune bonnet and whilst it looks f*cking awesome is it really helping me. Yes it lowers my engine temp by up to 11deg and I loose like 10kg of weight but since iv'e put it on I think the rain has messed with my coilpacks. My car idles and drives A OK but under full bost now it starts to flutter and I lose all boost. If I let it get up to boost slowly she'll go but if I stomp it I get nothing as soon as boost comes on. I have the coil pack cover off with Splitfires. A mate said it shouldn't matter but it has to be the issue.

Anyone got any ideas on this one?????

dried the coil packs out?

I'm hoping the hot weather will do this for me!!!! It was pretty damn hot yesterday and it was in the sun all day. Went for a drive last night and the same thing happened again. I'm thinking I may have to take them off and give them a clean.

once the water is inside, id imagine hard for it to get out

get the water out, then put your cover back on. there is no need to run without it. look at most serious circuit cars. they run WITH the cover. there is no need to take it off.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated. The car came with the cover off. I will find another and get it straight back on.

I had similar issues, but the car was not barking down like yours. it just made a mess around and under the coil packs.

i just run it with the cover on and not worry about it anymore. i do however keep a car cover over my car when not driving it.

From memory the cover has a gaskety thing too, to prevent excess dust and moisture getting in.

Best remove and clean the boots with silcone spray and a light smear of silicone grease. The gasket around the cover goes hard with time, but can be replaced with o-ring cord available at places like CBC.

On my 32 i am lucky the holes are in front of the coil pack, The water hits the fan and on the timeing belt. But still i don't realy like it in the rain.
