Cooling fan on the hood??

[Bean]

Plenty of race shops have them - driftworks.com for exampel. Alternative if available in your area is ceramic coating.

How do I solve that?

I've lifted my hood to take the heat out of the front of the car over the windshield...

I've lifted the hood at the windshield side about 1.5 inches...

You don't have any problem that you haven't caused yourself!
Quit making things worse. Make sure all air hitting the front goes through the radiator. Don't let engine compartment heat enter the cabin from the high pressure area in front of the windshield.

To make sure all the air goes through the rad I can put an aluminum sheet between the front of the hood and the rad from the inside correct?

But I apologize for not understanding but what do you mean by

"Don't let engine compartment heat enter the cabin from the high pressure area in front of the windshield."

Are you referring to the area between the hood and the windshield where the wipers and the water draining openings are?

Nice to read this...

I will also consider Ceramic Coating and heatwrapping my car as I also hate the heat coming from the exhaust / engine.

Sometimes you open the door after a bit of a drive and just feel the heat eating my up at the doorside.

But then again I have heat allergies so for me its more severe than any normal human being hahahaha.

Have you tried adding an air tube? try to use something like a laundry vent tube to divert air where you want it. just start it at the bumper. It does't look the best, but it works for my cold air intake.

I see that D1 drivers also use tubes for cooling in their suits.

Yes, it's a high pressure area good for feeding the interior's ventilation system and not so good for letting air out of the hood/bonnet & many manufacturers put a seal/weatherstrip there, while you've opened it up.

I don't know what your alum. sheet is doing, IIRC the AE86 has a seal between the radiator bulkhead and the hood.

I did a bit of research lifting the hood from the back a bit before I did. These guys think its a good way to keep air flowing into the engine bay and cooling it..

What I've done is almost like COWL Induction.. Hope it'll work

Splash guard in place under the front end? Even though it's called 'splash' it helps a lot with the air flow around the rad & engine too.

Yes, if by 'COWL Induction' you mean helping the engine a little & heating the cabin occupants a lot.
