The vent by the windshield base is very nice. It integrates well with the bonnet and I assume is functional.

I'm not as sure about the air box vent, but it is unique and gives off a racer vibe.

Looks to be very nicely done.

What is the smaller tube running over top the intake with the 4 lines going to the charge cooler runners? Water injection? Something more nefarious?

some explanation: to make my bonnet, I was inspired by two classic jaguar: the side air intake of the Jaguar XJ13 (it was not possible to carry out an air intake "NACA" because there are problems of space but a "half" NACA ) .The central venting instead is the Jaguar E-type, but with a modern twist (see Arden A-Type RS).
The coating under the hood was removed. The airbox is assolutemante sealed with the hood since it follows the lower ribs which close with the rubber part. More air in (I also left open the side hole of the fender where it was inserted the original airbox intake air), the more fresh air and in considerable quantities because being dynamic.
There have been considerable improvements with regard to the incoming air quantity (measured in Gr / Sec) and the temperature are lowered.
all this based on the data coming out from the outlet ODB II connected to Garmin EcoRoute HD that puts me on the navigation screen all engine parameters.

the tubes that you see are feeding LPG

Yeah, I'm digging that.

What about water entry at the intake port?

The results look almost OEM. You or someone must be highly skilled in metal-working.

I did not see the hood pins in the earlier photos. Very nice touch!

Good work.

there is no problem with the water. The air intake is after the filter and the base of the airbox there are drain holes.
both in my bike than in my car, the upgrades as a goal to be "standard look". Therefore I am glad that all this work seems to have been made by Jaguar and not from me!
