Typical cover still unpainted.
About how many BID for FWF component cover?
I usually use four. Primarily to make it stiff enough to finish.
Where do you steal air to plumb into the nipple of your cover on right footwell
covering wastegate/other stuff on a 914 install? I see the regulator is by the outlet of cover, do you perhaps use a NACA vent on the top cowl to also shoot air at regulator?
Ron,
No, I just put a one inch flange on the 914 NACA feed for the turbo. Since you have intercoolers and such, you will have to be more inventive. I'd put it on the lower cowl as it would have to be removed every time you pulled the cowl. To prevent that I would make a NACA on the pilots side with a tight sealing duct like on the 914 intake. Reason is the cowl could come off without any hose disconnecting. I do not cool my regulator. Probably should.
In area about how much larger do I want to make the outlet of component shroud compared to inlet?
How many BID do you use?
Any special precautions so not too much water gets into shroud?
I make the exit small as I want it pressurized, but never measured. I don't worry about water because I have the inlet so low. If you put the inlet on the top of the cowl, you're on your own. I also don't let the inlet to the shroud be directly impacting the devices. I have even put in a deflector in the shroud to protect any direct water impact if the client was concerned.
If you had to make a guess on outlet area, would you say .75x inlet area? .5x inlet area? .25x inlet area? .1x inlet area?
I'd say a one inch inlet hole because we have a lot of 1 inch tube in the kit left
over, and allow extra room on the wire outlet hole as there is always wires that
must go through. If you have a super tight grommets on your wires go with a 1/2
inch exit.
