Hood scoop, or turbo vents
After doing the swap my underhood temptures are very high, when I pop the hood and reach for the latch it usually burns my hands. My car has yet to run hot, but the radiator is blocked by, greddy 3-row, oil cooler, ac condensor, then my rad. Anywase any have or know of good looking vents or scoops. I have looked but haven't seen very many on the Sc's. Please post pics or links if you have them. Thanks

heres some options:
--Autocourture kit- the hood is there to fit the supercharger, but you get the idea--
--BN Sports hood--
--Do-Luck vents on the hood--
thats all i can think of right now, im sure theres more

you might want to try a euro style supra hood. I really think it would look clean on an sc (can someone do a photochop so we can see it?) anyways here is a pic. also try exhaust wrap, it really helped when I wrapped my na-t's exhaust system, and coated a couple of tthe pieces with ceramic based paint. Before it would radiate (sp?) heat onto my face when I opened the hood, but after I wrapped it, the underhood temps are alot more similar to the pre turbo days.

Do either of those hoods with the large vents have drainage systems, or they just let the water pour into the engine?

Id suggest the wrapping and coating (previous advice) and change the stock hood liner to an aftermarket hi temp liner.
Are you still running the stock fan?

Coating, wrapping and heat shielding certainly will cool it down a lot though.

Well that's pretty poor. There is a guy over here with a vented hood (and a 2JZ swap)... think it's a BN. Might ask him about his experiences with it.
