Hood Vents Driver Side MX-5 NA

Product information "Hood Vents Driver Side MX-5 NA"

These hood vents for the MX-5 NA match our air duct kit. Ideally suited to direct hot ram air out of the engine compartment and thus to keep the engine temperature cool. On hotter days or when used on the racetrack, a lot of hot air builds up in the enginebay. Our air duct in combination with these hood vents is perfect for diverting this. In addition, the internal pressure in the enginebay is reduced in order to achieve better flow through the radiator.

The two-piece vent is mounted on the driver's side of the hood. For this purpose, cutouts must be made in the hood in order to achieve a corresponding flow of hot air through the hood and thus lower the pressure in the engine compartment. A stencil is included for easy installation. No reinforcement struts have to be cut out during assembly, which is why the hood retains its rigidity.

Of course, the hood vents are compatible with all of our conversions.

The development and design of the hood ventilation was done by Wilvern Motorsport. The vents are made of injection molded plastic to ensure an optimal fit.

There are also covers for the hood vents available so that water does not enter the engine compartment when the car is parked in the rain or washed. These can be selected under "add additional parts".

A TÜV-certificate is included in the scope of delivery.

The scope of delivery includes:

  • 2-piece set of hood ventilation in flat black
  • Template for easier assembly without cutting out the hood reinforcement
  • TÜV parts certificate

Front Air Duct MX-5 NA
Due to the high demand and our experience on the racetrack, we decided to build our own air ducts for the front of the MX-5. The air ducts are used to make the best possible use of the airflow and to flow precisely to the radiator and intercooler. For this purpose, we have scanned the front of the MX-5's 3D in order to produce a perfectly fitting air duct in OEM quality. Then the prototypes were 3D printed and adjusted again on the vehicle and possible errors corrected. So we can finally bring an absolutely flawless product onto the market. The air duct consists of 2 parts which are made of ABS plastic. In this way, the ducting can be easily adapted to modifications that do not come from our company. The lower part replaces the original front part of the air duct in the bumper and is attached to the original points. The upper part allows the air to flow upwards in order to use the full surface of the radiator. In our tests, we were able to reduce the water temperature by up to 25 ° C and the intake air temperature (for turbo and supercharger conversions) by up to 15 ° C. The product has been extensively tested in motorsport as well as on the road, which enabled us to improve its functionality even further. The ducting is suitable for all of our conversions sold by SPS Motorsport. Cutouts for piping for turbo conversions and supercharger conversions can be created through pre-shaped areas in order to be able to operate OEM cars as well as turbo and compressor conversions with one product and to keep all options for conversions open to you. So if a conversion is planned in the future, but you want to reduce your temperatures on the racetrack or while driving sportily on the street, this is your perfect product. For use with power steering there might be modifications necessary.  The matching hood vents can be purchased under "add additional parts" so that the hot air can also be appropriately diverted from the engine compartment. CAUTION! DOES NOT FIT FOR VEHICLES WITH AIR CONDITIONING!

Storage Covers for Hood Vents Driver Side MX-5 NA
Here you will find the matching storage covers for our hood vents for the MX-5 NA. The covers are used to prevent water from entering the enginebay when the car is washed or left in the rain. The covers are simply clipped into the hood vents to keep rain or water out of the engine compartment when washing. Use while driving is prohibited because, as already mentioned, the covers are only clipped and do not constitute a permanent connection to the hood or the vents. Like the hood vents, the covers were designed and developed by Wilvern Motorsport.
