Are Cooling Panels Worth it for the RB swap?

[Ramius83]

We all have seen these cooling panels for the 240sx. They are "panels" that install directly where the hood latch assembly is. Supposedly, they redirect some air that is lost coming into the engine bay down to the radiator/fans. Are these panels worth the $100 shipped, or should I waste my money on something else? I figured that this may help a little with some/any cooling problems I may have with using the stock KA radiator with the RB26 and the FAL 210 fans. Thanks all......

I seems to have the same problem. I have all kind of cooling goodies too---Koyo , dual 12" FAL pushers,Nismo cap, vented carbon hood,raised hood,large bumper openings(fmic is kinda in the way though),and water wetter. Im going to be making one next week out of aluminium. If you buy one before I build it, let me know the results.

I have one on my car. It was on ebay for $60 something buy now. didn't look at the shipping... those rat bastads charged me $30 to ship a 1lb item!!! Enjuku. Dose it help? I don't know, I still have the stock KA radiator but changine to a modine unit soon.

I ran one for a while. with the KoYo two pushers and a front mount. It seemed to help when ussing the stock bumper with the two fake vents cut out. But the DRFT bumper I had with the vent in the front helped more. Larger FMIC opening and vent that let air to the radiator.
