January 20th, 2009, 01:05

So a few of the crew from down under asked me if i could give them the templates i made up for the hood vent mod i did last year. No problem - i made a sheet with all templates included and a short power point on instructions to do it - atleast the steps i did.

If any are interested in getting a copy let me know PM and i'll send it out and email ya the power point.. i can't host it anywhere. ??

No cost but donations welcome in the form of anything from your local area / country. Already have a rugby DVD from the Aussi pre ordered LOL.

Srry - left before i got the link to host. My bad - the PPT is not on my wrk system. Will be back next Tues.
Just to clear up the template deal... i couldn't scan it in and reproduce at the orginal size so i'm sending hard copies (photo copies) tubed. size is critical if you are attempting this project. So if you email me or PM. send your postal address so i get them off. The Power Point will be up on Gregs when i get it to him after next Tues.

A final note - i'm no drafts man or a fab guy... so take it all with a grain of salt. If i were to to it again i believe i could pull it off with these instructions . Re check measurements and position. I tried to duplacate the steps i took and the templates are the same so.. I won't be offended by any changes - if anyone has helpful notes to add to the PPt instructions please post here for all.

If adding the drain at the front of the vent.. it gets very close to the Audi intakes and can rub or squash them alittle if not set up correctly. Mine had this problem but i changed a measurement slightly on the template which should help.

Best of luck

I mean really, look at the top pic of the SL Black series. See the vents in the front and rear of the hood. Now look at the design for the RS6. Very similar. Nice work, I must say the vents at the rear of the hood are just as important as the fronts.

January 26th, 2009, 02:32

I have a question here guys,, what about washing the car with these vents open to the engine? Is the water will go down on the engine? Do I need to shut them off before washing the car or what? Thanks

Here is the deal guys - srry i just got to dry land. I designed the hood vents in my posts so water IS NOT a problem!!!!!!!! There is a catchment tube on the front vent that collectects over 98% of all rain fall, on the rear if made correctly nothing from there gets to the motor!!!! 98% even 90% - hell how much water gets to the rear of the rad. on a rainy day!!!!! The engine is made for this - the areas of concern are the ECU etc. The car is made to have water over the engine without problems - i just went over board with water control because i'd rather be safe than srry and it wasn't that big of a deal to do. So before comments about covering the vents - check your facts, (plse don't take that the wrong way!!!) It's a motor, the vent design restricts water contact with the engine. I have had mine in for almost 1 yr. NO PROBLEMS!!! I wash it ever week!!!! O.k - when you use soap it pools and you get overflow from the vent drain "No Problem!!!" I have a car cover on when i'm out of town so no prolonged exposure - sitting without movement. But otherwise there is no problem with this - Ref any design with hood vents - Ferreri, Merc, etc!!!!
Hope it helps you sleep at night LOL, i love the Beast - No damage / happy ending

I don't know what else to say - i was VERY worried about this issue before i started the project - the end of it was NO problems. stick to worrying about the tranny LOL

details to note. Insluation in the back of the rear outlet vent to block hot air getting trapped in there(pic 3). Also the sides of that section were siliconed to guide any rain / water out of the opening.
The cut through from the engine bay to the washer area has had the sides blocked up to channel air towards the vent -(pic 8)
The wire peices you can see are to hold the heat shield in place (last pick)

Great pics. Two questions, What's the tape for on the air intake duct and is this the vent drain you added? (marked up pic)

Yep - thats the drain, thanks for adding the note on the pic. It is a PVC fitting attached to a high temp hose that runs out the louvers in the wheel well.

The tape (self adhevise heat shield (from Jegs) is there because my vent was just alittle big (deep) so the drain pipe that runs along the vent lip was contacting it there - leaving a mark and it put a slight dent in it (from heat transfer between stainless and the plastic duct) So i added the tape to clean it up a bit. Hindsight is truely wonderful. I adjusted the depth of the vent measurement after this so it should be good. BUT if your doing this check everything you can with cardboard mock ups to be sure.

before i added the heat shielding the vent flap and the rear hood area were getting hot.. probably as they nolonger have the coverage from the factory cover.
I added the shielding to the full length of the vent under the factory stuff and on the channel where the air leaves the engine compartment through the hood bracing. This solved that problem and i now feel no difference between the mod areas and anywhere else. Important to remember you want the air to get out the rear vents without getting trapped anywhere. The insluation material i used is for heating ducks in houses.. will not rot. repels water and excellent for heat control.
Easy install there - just stuff it.

Hope this helps.
I should mention someone on here offered to transfer the template to Auto CAD and then to a file we can all use so when he gets it done this should be available to all on here some place to download and print off at kinkos. LOL
For the guys that sent me your mailing address - its on its way. Any questions - just ask.

Good one Head:). Question, has anyone thought of hood vents for the air INTAKE ducts, or rerouting the intake to the wheel well vent louvers? I'm exploring the relocation options(something similar to the dahlback setup with intake at wheel wells).

SAF

February 4th, 2009, 14:32

Headshot, nice work...you have more balls than I do cutting into the hood like that!
I'm curious as to the source of that front lip spoiler. Can you give me a link? That is the one body mod I've always wanted to do to this car. TIA!

DuckWingDuck

February 4th, 2009, 16:38

that was another labour of love from Headshot, he did it himself.

HeadShot

February 5th, 2009, 05:09

Snoopra, thats been discussed alittle bit in the past. Re-routing the intakes - i think all agreed that anywhere else would be much less efficent as right now its basically a straight shot. Champion did theres through the head light area - bigger intakes, but this would obvisouly not be practical for street use.

I'd say you could probably get some extra improvement with a CO2 bulb in each intake. The company that makes those only makes them up 3" intake piping and ours are 4" so you'd need to take a core and do your own.. then a CO2 system in the trunk, route it in with a fuel chiller and presto - should give the same nice extra performance on a hot day.
If your thinking move them for the hood vents... i don't think it's nesessary - your just reducing back pressure on the inside of the rad and the vent size i did should be more than enough for that. Remember mine is running atleast 25' cooler now.

Best regards..

SAF - yeah srry, the lip spoilers are all mine. I'd have some made from mine if i only knew where to go to get this done. Suggestions????

Thxs Greg... AKA speed demon LOL Any leads on the LEDS we saw Duck??

snoopra

February 5th, 2009, 06:10

Yeah, I'm looking into the CO2 bulb setup too. Another option could be to extend the intake ducts down to draw outside air through the hood grill in front of the radiator.

Heat has always been a problem in all Audi RS model. It is because the original car has never been designed to 'receive' such a powerfull engine. It is particularly true in the RS6. The MTM Hood Vents are not beautifull, but there are very efficient.... On mine, it is 10 degrees celsius less for the oil temperature. not that you gain more horsepower, but you don't stop loosing them !!!

November 1st, 2009, 04:39

I'm working on a hood vent set up that I think (in all my abundant humbleness) will make everyone drool.

Templates were perfected tonight. Plan to start cutting on the salvage hood next week. Been monitoring underhood temps with a simple indoor/outdoor temp thermometer with the sensor stuck to the air intake hose and the gauge velcro-ed to the dash. Consistently running around 50-60 degrees above ambient at easy cruise / around-town driving. Spikes to well over 160F absolute (cheapy Lowes thermometer reads "Hi" above 157F, so I'm guessing) when parked. Based on rise rates I'd guess it peaks around 180-190 after shutdown, then starts cooling through radiation.

FWIW, there must be a fair amount of airflow underhood, because after parking and then driving again, the temp drops quickly. So I think the main advantage will be preventing high temps after shutdown (extending the life of underhood plastic and rubber components), possibly a minor reduction in underhood temps during normal operation, and hey, it'll look cool. I'm not a track go-er with this car so it will be hard to demonstrate the reduction in hard driving conditions but logic would dictate a similar reduction in the delta between ambient and underhood temps.

And there's an interesting but coincidental tie-in to the source of the vents. More later.

I'm kind of a geek but when I get home and pull into the garage I always pop my hood and open it up. My old Porsche 944 Turbos were very hot under the hood until I ceramic coated there exhaust manifolds and crossover pipes. Not anywhere close to doing the RS6 manifolds unless my engine needs to be pulled someday then I will do it. The 944T exhaust manifolds were double walled so I'm sure the RS6 manifolds were, even though the 944T's benefited from ceramic coating.

I also turn on the pedestal fan that is permanently pointed towards my engine.

Basically, one of my best friends went to Rice and out here in LA, whenever I would meet a hot girl, invariably, she would say that she's from Texas so I was really excited the first time I went to visit my friend at Rice. Of course, I flew into Hobby (ugh) and was sooooo disappointed. Since then, I've learned my lesson.... All the hot Texas girls are in LA. Just kidding!

There isn't a manual but there is a template :)
I have a copy of that template and was attempting to digitize it, then print it onto a "sticker" that you would apply to the hood, cut the hood, and finish rather quickly.

I can post pictures if necessary but I don't have the exact measurements of the slots nor do I know how Headshot's fabricators made/set the vents. He did go so far as to include a water drain to keep rain and water during a wash out of the engine.

Hi!

Please do so.

I would like to see this as I don't have that information....

Yes, I have to locate the powerpoint again...
I have no way of digitizing the physical templates other than taking a photo and having a ruler or something for reference.

I'm curious though, what do you cover the vents with when you wash your car? Ducttape? :P

I have Smiler, I just noticed a post here saying that one should cover them up when washing the car.

Headshot built in drainage trough that leads to a pipe which allows the water to drain to the wheel wells (see pictures above). I've had the car a year now and with all my washes (weekly) there's never been an issue.

Here is a link for anyone interested in functional hood vents:
http://www.autospeed.com/cms/article.html?&title=Undertrays-Spoiler-Bonnet-Vents-Part-3&A=2162

Not to criticize the OP- it take some balls to cut into your hood especially on a car as nice as the RS6. For the academics on the forum: The area toward the back of the hood in front of the windshield is a high pressure zone. Generally, functional hood vents (for heat extraction) should be toward the front of the hood. This topic has been discussed in depth by the Subaru crowd (big debates about hood scoops and venting when switching from top-mounted intercoolers to front-mounted units). Vents placed at the rear of the hood will likely take air INTO the engine bay when moving. Perhaps this is what the OP was aiming for, in order to cool components in that area. Some of the Subaru guys have used manometers to measure the pressure in the engine bay as well as outside along the length of the hood, to generate images with measurements similar to those shown in the above link. I have not seen this done on an Audi, but the basic aerodynamic principles are the same. Placing vents toward the rear of the hood is probably counterproductive because the air entering will be fighting, so to speak, with the air entering the engine bay from the front of the car. Pressure measurements under those rear vents with them open and closed off would be interesting. I think a manometer can be had for less than $50. A simple string test might also suffice. Venting the hood is a much better alternative to the Sportec-mod that vents through the lower tray and generates lift.
