Blowers with no firewall, cabin ventilation
Thinking about putting a standard blower setup back in my Nova, to provide cool air into the cabin
I no longer have a firewall, so will this be safe enough? Should I look to blank off the blower from the engine somehow, or try and duct it from the scuttle area?
Also looking at putting some ventilation holes in the rear to aid air flow through the cabin if anyone has some good ideas, where to put holes in the rear window, quarters etc.
Why wouldn't it be safe? I have this sort of set up and its fine.
Figured the bay is quite a smelly warm place and the vent will be sucking in the warm engine air rather than fresh air from the scuttle. Isn't that what the firewall was there for?
It'll be tres stinky
Figured it would, but it's either this, a roof scoop or a window net so I can open my window fully on track (with additional vents in the rear to stop my rear screen buggering off)
If you ever want to do MSA events then all holes in the bulkhead will have to be sealed to prevent smoke, flames, hot fluids getting into the passenger compartment
A perspective I'd not thought of actually... Thanks
Window net sounds like a winner

Hmmm, I see the logic, but i don't notice anything...
Could you not box it in and put ducking to to the scuttle vents? be a bit fresher...
Loads of places do window vents, for rear engines or rads, just turn them the other way...
