Losing my mind. I can't think of the vent company's
Stock they are fine but with a turbo it is too hot on deep days. I am roasting my wires and hoses. I just need 1 or maybe 2 vents. I am not one to make it look like a cheese grater and say how awesome that looks.

I've been thinking about SLP's vents. You can buy them individually, so just get the ones you want.

I ordered a pair of outter knee vents from http://xtremeairvents.com/. They will be here Friday. I also like the looks of the Diamond-S vent that completely vents the side panel. Just depends on how much air you need to move.

I'm starting with these and will see where it takes me. More vent area the better, but I don't want to swiss my panels either.

No one is. They are a one off set I built and painted for myself. If there's interest, PM me.

If you're hot enough under the hood to melt wires I'd get a "blow hole", electric powered fan to pull hot air from under the hood, 140 CFM...

It moves a lot of air, and will never clog with snow like vents will on deep days.

Fan vs venting

I hate cutting holes in my side panels especially the belt guard. Right now I'm working on a 4" fan the you don't cut your clutch cover up. I will take all the strength I can get with the clutch cover 100% intact. All my old sleds had cracked side panels & primary clutch bolt holes. I love the extra protection the full clutch cover adds just need the right fan shroud to move the hot air out. Darn G4 chassis has almost no room! I can get the air out easy without hacking up the guard but i want a built in box the uses that air as a glove/goggle dryer.

It's easy to cut the tube off the blow hole and not cut a hole in the clutch cover and still get a lot of hot air out from under the hood.

This is how I will do it if I get a Blow Hole.

A belt is more expensive than a side panel so it's not a big deal to cut a few holes to get some venting to keep things cooler. When you want to sell the sled put a new side panel

I may put one on but it is the turbo side that needs it. Not having belt troubles.
Took some Utah boys for a tour in epic snow. One of the guys just drilled his side panel. Looked really good. I might just do that.

Venting or fanning

Ya it's really easy to get the hot air out with a fan. Can't rember who but some1 mounted a fan on the footwell that's a great place for the fan. I am just hung up on all that waisted hot air haha, I want my cake & ice cream with sprinkles on top. Working on it this weekend and calling it quits if I can't get something figured out.

I put the Mountainfit/Menztoys vents on mine- very happy with them and well priced. They have held up well to my tree sessions also, lol!

There are so few places for air to get into the area under the hood that I think a lot of the air that comes out of the fan goes in right at the toes of your boots, I'd be surprised if the blow hole didn't keep the turbo side of the sled notably cooler than it is now.

turboless terry · Feb 10, 2018

I bet the blowhole would keep it cooler but I have doubts that it would be cool enough. Needs a vent up high to let hot air out. It is only on deep days where the nose vent is plugged solid and so are the footwells.

These with some vents on top and the back of the panels should let some heat out
