Lately I've seen a bunch of the HiLux N80s going around with bonnet scoops. Considering the N80 is front mount intercooled rather than the N70 HiLux which was top mount intercooled, does this actually do anything for the engine or are they doing this purely for looks?
Cheers all
I have been looking at this myself, for our 2016 Lux, I’ve been told, by my mechanic that the engine temp gets very high and over time will affect engine components, so if I do a ECU remap we should also consider increasing airflow etc.
Creating more airflow and heat dissipation will help reduce temp and increase longevity of the engine. Whilst some people are after looks?? I’m keen to see what everyone is doing for performance etc.
I’ve just come across the below bonnet scoop on ebay, this guy makes them in Adelaide.
Thoughts anyone?????
