V1 NACA duct

[Markm]

Has anyone tried mounting the naca ducts on the inside and also had their hood tilting? I need to mock up the radiator to check clearance but I’m optimistic it can be accomplished

How would you make the NACA duct to heat exchanger plenum to disconnect and reconnect? Would be awkward at best, unless you fab up an angled face plate with a foam seal for the plenum and duct to join when the hood is closed.

And I've seen a few builders mount the NACA ducts to the inside of the hood too. Troll around some builders logs to search for 'NACA'.

The angled flange is what I was thinking also. I have trolled around and found the ducts mounted on the inside and the wife likes that clean slick look. Now to think what to make flanges from

FWIW this is why I'm doing sidepods. Retaining hinged hood and cooling

And the side pods look great too

I mounted mine on the inside for a cleaner look. I used high temp HVAC tape to secure them to the hood. Over 1,500 miles on the car and they are holding up well.

I glassed in studs inside and then body worked the opening for a smooth finish

Mark, did you ever get your NACA ducts installed? Did you configure them to work with a hinged hood? Just curious to see what you came up with? It's been a while since we're asking questions about this.

I haven’t had a lot of time to work on it just yet, I’ve been super busy with regular work but hopefully I’ll get back on it in a couple weeks. I need to get the wife goblin ready for goblinfest
