Hello ecomodders, apologies if i bump 'old post'
I read all 6 pages on ideas of engine compartment vent; then i found this site:
DIY 2011 Mustang GT500 Heat Extractor Install - D-series.org
I am thinking this is an okay idea for my 90 civic; person placed a huge 'gt500 hood vent' where the exhaust manifold is. i may do this with a smaller vent and additional vents to the wheels as stated in previous posts.
Below: Hole for vent on EG civic; shows where it lines up nicely with exhaust manifold.

Below: same gt500 vent for an EF civic (similar to my car);

Personally i like it on an ef civic but i found a nice home $5 depot vent that i'll install vs $100 gt500 vent;



MY QUESTION IS AS FOLLOWS:
Any ideas or comments about this type of venting for a 90 civic hatchback?

Note; i will complement with a front undertray and rear diffuser similar to "CURV872's mini cooper rear diffuser
