Hi guys,
just wanna check with u guys if the engine bay of latio usually rather hot after drive? I find it pretty hot compared to my previous vios. On the other hand, is there a need to put in cold air intake? last time vios i did install cos vios's air intake somewhat hanging in wrong position. latio's seem well designed... but second look... bonnet blocking the intake...?
please advise.
-
huh engine bay of course hot mah :blink:
personally i tink Latio's engineers had already placed the air intake in the best position. doing CAI may not help much. the air intake pipe is more like allowing air to flow in naturally, not by induction such as a supercharger. it doesn't matter if the bonnet is "blocking" the air intake. :smile:
-
i agree with law. the stock air intake is in a very good position already.
-
Bro...no point u change Cold Air intake.., our stock can consider CAI :thumbsup:
-
oh ok thanks. but seriously... it felt hotter than my previous vios. and the problem is,... last time vios was manual drive and even after i wacked something like 6k rpm for the last stretch of the road nearing home, it's not even as hot as my current latio when i am so light footed.

Maybe Vios bonnet metal is thinner, so cool down faster.. :devil2:
-
dunno lei... tat's y dunno whether should find ways to ventilate more or not...
but any implication by doing so?
-
Can you elaborate what you mean that Latio engine is more hot than Vios engine?
Latio bonnet tends to be hotter at the sides, as under the top of the bonnet has insulation.
-
no... i meant once i open the bonnet... wow... the heat is ... quite substantial...
-
one more thing... when i turn on the car... havent cranked it... is there supposed to be some sort of activation sound? i think just turning acc on without cranking the engine... i find it funny... is this normal???
-
normally will b start engine 1st b4 turning on aircon is better than on the aircon then start engine
-
ok noted... thanks i try. maybe like wat u mentioned... i forgot that my aircon is on. cos i dun find it this morning. last nite was right after i washed up the car then it happened...
-
no... i meant once i open the bonnet... wow... the heat is ... quite substantial...
This is normal. Your engine operating temperature is in excess of 100 degrees.
Latio engine compartment is quite spaced out, so it is not so bad.
Wait till you see the compacked engine bay of some European marques. The heat in the engine bay is even more overwhelming.

maybe u blast your aircon cold cold??? :devil2: heat from aircon compressor also a factor :smile:

ya true enuff. and continental car engines usually have nice cover. makes it even harder for hot air to escape. but some have cooler fans tat activate when the temperature gets too high. it will also be activated for 2 mins after the driver switch off the engine. :ohmy:
