Description
EMPI Super Shroud - Early 36 HP Style, Black.Part Number: 00-8679-0EMPI's engineering team has pushed the boundaries once more! Through rigorous R&D, including CAD design, 3D scanning, and intensive real-world airflow testing, they've crafted a unique fan shroud that outperforms in cooling, airflow direction, and fitment like never before.This early-style Super Shroud boosts air volume for superior cooling. Its internal fins were fine-tuned with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations and hands-on flow bench trials. By 3D scanning various engine cases and tins, EMPI ensured optimal compatibility. It also supports both standard (28-30mm) and wider (37mm) fans for added flexibility.The EMPI Super Shroud incorporates innovative redesigns for a sleek, factory-like appearance while enhancing engine efficiency and durability over stock options. Key upgrades include:
- Velocity Stack Inlet: Inspired by the Porsche 356 OEM design, this feature draws in more air for heightened cooling performance.
- Balanced Air Distribution: Unlike traditional OE or aftermarket shrouds that often favor the passenger side (cylinders 1 & 2) over the driver side (cylinders 3 & 4), leading to uneven heating, the Super Shroud equalizes flow while increasing volume across the entire engine.
- Extended Fin Tips: These mimic the function of OEM thermostat vanes in the "open" position, compensating for removed or faulty thermostats to maintain effective cooling.
- Superior Fitment: Engineered for seamless installation on stock and bubble-top cases, with a tighter seal to the engine tin compared to earlier EMPI models.
- Refined Bolt Hole Design: Horizontally aligned alternator mounts and elimination of excess holes create a cleaner look and better airflow containment.
- 7% greater total airflow than prior EMPI non-doghouse shrouds (with any fan size).
- 14% higher cooling air CFM than OE-style shrouds (using a 30mm fan).
- 37% higher cooling air CFM than OE-style shrouds (using a 37mm fan).
- 42% increased engine cooling when paired with a remote oil cooler and 37mm fan versus an OE cooler in a standard shroud.
