Thread: Defender Engine Bay Heat - LH guard vent

Looks like a cool mod.

Would the outlet be on the same side for a Puma, since the turbo is on the right/driver's side?

Well that's a mod I'll be sure to do once the new head goes on. I guess you lower the pressure by letting out the hot air and more cool air has no choice but to come in via the radiator.

By the time I got the angle grinder going I was shaking so much I almost had to stop.





Now to put the mesh on....

Jebus Id be nervous too if my truck looked brand new!.........There are benefits from having an old beater, it doesnt phase me one bit to tinker and play with it now

Very nice work James. Did you put the foil insulation on the bulkhead?

cheers

Hi Serg,

Thanks . I did the insulation during the rebuild before I put the guards back on. Even then it was a bit of a mission, but worth it.

Damn - could I have run two turbos then?

James.

How much does it increase noise in the cabin?
