ok so my question isnt about the clearance cuz my kit will fit just fine theres just a few other things first off i kno the scoop thing will allow water to go straight down basically hitting the turbo cus the water will flow right between the radiator and trubo but probably hit the turbo .. obviously this isnt a good thing.. so is there anything to do to block the water that can be added to the hood? also i heard that the paint might get to hot or something on aftermarket hoods and start melting? is this true?

 

rythmnsmoke has CF hood with his turbo and as far as i know he has no problems..

as far as rain.. if they dont offer a rain guard you can easily make it yourself.. also i have seen i believe VIS hood or something like that that comes with rain guard already , its just a cover that you clip under the opening i think very easy to make yourself.

 

you can always route the water using a piece of sheet metal or even make a cover!

 

Go look at an Evo.

 

Your hood should not melt... you would have a problem if it did start to melt if you have a fiberglass one... first being that all your hoses would melt

 

no hes asking is there anyway to route the water away from the turbo!

 

He also asked if the hood will melt... please re-read the original post.

SoFlo - water won't be too bad - lots of cars have vents and water gets on everything - just keep your bay clean and if you really want, make a cover.

 

Sven on here has the hood and a dezod turbo kit for about 6 months now, no issues at all.

i dont have the kaminari but i have seibon vs2...water gettin inside isnt bad just makes everythin alot dirter...and i dont even have a burn mark on my hood for about 6 months or so and its still perfect

 

so it doesnt make a difference if water is free flowing onto my turbo/downpipe while driving? i was thinking .. hot metal + water = bad? but idk

 

If its a buckets of water pouring into it yet but rain isn't gonna touch anythin

 

i have a carbon fiber vented hood and the vents sit right above the turbo...wont do anything at all...only thing it will rust the housing bc its cast iron unless u have it painted and u might have waterspots...but nothing wrong with it i've had it on my other tc turbod and driving around in the rain...no rain gaurd and nothing has happen just the rust but oh well heh...hope it helpss.......btw its great to have a vented hood lets off wayy more heat and cools down faster

 

I have the kaminari hood with a S/C and the water falls right on my header but nothing has happened to it. Although I have noticed the clear coat on my paint job is gone ( it might be the sorry dealership paint job though)

 

My bro has the Kaminari hood with his turbo. 2 year no issues.

 

the only problem with the kaminari hood is that the exhaust manifold for turbo toyotas has clearance issues. that is about it.

 

rain falling on your manifold probably isnt good.

 

It's fine.
