i have a dezod s1 kit and im installing it as soon as i get it....but the question i've been wondering is that i have a vented hood....what about wen it rains?...am i going to be eff'd becasue of the rain and the heat of the manifold....will it crackk???....cuz right now i drive around with it and megan headers and nothing happends to them but i kno they dont get as hot as a turbo manifold....

 

i have a seibon vented hood and just got my s1 kit also and was wondering the same thing

 

For the rain you can get rain guards or you can fabricate one. Just like a cover for the vents when its raining i think Rythmandsmoke has rain guards on his hood ask him. As far as the heat issue maybe someone else can chime in on that.

 

Evo's have hood vents and get rain on their guts all the time. It's not going to be an issue if you have a well made manifold/dp/etc. If you're really worried, make a heat-shield for the manifold and turbo.

 

alright thanks a lot guyss..if anyone else has any input pleasee say it

 

I had the same worries when I had my turbo kit.

I had the BMagic N1 Hood (Same as rthymsmoke) and I just left the vent cover there. No water seeped threw.

 

Where do u get a vent cuse its just an opening on my seibon vs2

 

mine came in my hood....and i dont have a vent cover its just the grills in the vents

 

What do you mean by opening ?

 

Yah I have the seibon vs2 and it has the vent in the center of the hood that's wut I meant with the opening

 

you can go with these just to be safe.

My hood is the original one made by AIT. It comes with a rain protector that screws into the hood. The Seibon hood version does not. You will have to fab up one for the Seibon.

 

Is there anyway u can get pics of it so I can see wut it looks like

 

Yeah the pics actually be good

 

I've had a Vented hood and turbo kit on my car for over a year and half. The rain will do nothing to your kit or manifold. It will get dirty fast if you drive it in the rain. That's all that will happen period.Yo Rob , you could have asked me that yourself. Oh well, to each his own.

 

I could get a pic if you would like.

 

So what about those pics ?

 

My bad, I'll get one today.

 

put an umbrella either above your car or in between the vent and the turbo! sike lol sorry. the vs2 hoods have the rain guards dont they??
