Due to my air conditioning, I cannot have the stock cabin heat air supply on the left inlet area. I currently have the supply on the right side rear baffle split to the front and rear heat ducts, but it is not enough airflow to adequately heat the cabin.
I'm considering adding a NACA duct on the cowl and splitting the air to each heat muff then the heat ducts.
My concern is when not using the heat, the air coming in on the low pressure side of the baffles will have to exit the cowl just as the engine cooling airflow. Will this influx of air decrease the effectiveness of engine cooling air? Essentially, will it pressurize the low side of the cowl (enough) to cause issues?
I'd like a few opinions before I cut a big hole in my cowling. Thoughts?
Thanks!
