Functional fender vent

[LemonHead]

Ever wondered if making your fender vent functional was worth it? Took a video this morning after arriving to work to show the heat distribution.
55mile drive, outside temp 69, avg speed 70

Ok so you vented some hot air from the engine compartment, Very cool.
I like the idea, the concept.

But !

Your thermostat will simply open just a teeny tiny bit less to maintain optimal engine temperature, correct ?

Engine maintains temp fine. This has helped me see reduced IAT’s and overall lower temps during back to back runs / long drives

I really like the concept and the look.

What’s an ‘IAT’ ?

Intake air temperature.

Thanks for scientifically showing that the cut outs in side vents are functional. Like you, I also feel the heat emanating from the vent after a drive.

However, as you are driving, air is flowing INTO the vents helping to reduce the engine bay temps. Like opening a window a bit for example.
