The laser guns are great... and they have become very affordable... but the temp tape , IMO, would be a better "max" temp indicator for testing purposes.

MTNTK "BLOW HOLE"...Active Ventilation VS Passive Venting

I'm curious what adhesive they are using. Most adhesives release with more heat. Provided it would adhere to the aluminum under full rpm it would be useful for the clutch temps.
I would still like to know the belt temps, in my testing you can't always predict what the belt temp is from the clutch temp, and belt temp defines when the belt fails.
It draws 1 amp. You can either plug it into the dc power port or use a rectifier ( we have them availiable ) and you can plug it into the ac side.

Reminds me of the old school days of riding Doo TNT air cooled 440's in the late 70's early 80's as a kid. Funny how things come full circle sometimes. I commend the guys at MTNTK for thinking outside of the box and trying completely different things. This is what puts them in a category above the rest.
Question....Does it blow enough air to warm you up after you have taken one of those really long water breaks and have a cold trail ride waiting? Can't remember, is there room to add one to the other side?

Cool idea, but would your left leg not be soaking wet from fan blowing hot air at your knee
a product for all those who already spend $300 on vents
NO I HAVE rode with a blow hole all year long 700 miles it has been sweet never had a soaking wet leg. But I have been able to defog my goggles within 10 seconds that has been sweet. I also was able to keep my belt and clutches cool in deep powder.

Nice install thread Turbolover!!

Temp Readings
I will ask MTNTK for Readings, but I do have a few customers with a Hotdogger and Muff pots that it takes them 2 times longer to cook their food with the Blow Hole installed, I mean that is some serious heat coming out of the Blow Hole.
You can also email them at mtntkdyno@gmail.com if would like

Knees Breaking
The Blow Hole is about an inch away from the 2ndary, but I have never heard of anybody hitting it so hard to push it into the belt and clutch. I hope nobody’s knees hit it that hard, that would not feel good. We have ridden with the Blow Hole installed now for 4 years; yes the prototype was on a Dragon thus the 4 years. It has been Fantastic

I just went through looking for a dealer in Canada, called 4 different dealers listed on their web site and none of them were interested in looking for a price and some told me they don't deal with that product. I just ordered direct and had much better service and reasonable shipping.

What is the locked-rotor amp draw on this? (locked rotor = stick a screwdriver in the fan and stop the fan from turning)
Why no fuse in the system?
In your instructions you say:
I HIGHLY recommend that anyone with the blowhole use the optional rectifier setup available from MTNTK... and run that from the yellow AC power connector
OR
Better yet... No need to get a rectifier... run it, through a 3 amp fuse tapped into the red/dark-green wire at the electric start harness connector if you are not using the electric start.
If you have electric start... run it from the battery, through a fuse and then into a relay triggered by the red/white wire (chassis relay power)... That will then only turn on the fan when the sled is running.
The reason NOT to run from the DC POWER plug OR ACCESSORY plug in the hood is to limit the load on the ECU voltage regulator.
If something goes wrong with the motor on the Blow-Hole... then you are not putting the voltage regulator that supplies the ECU/Injectors/fuel pump "Vitals" at risk.
IMO, I don't like to run any accessory off of the separate voltage regulator that is supplying the ECU with power.
ALWAYS use a fuse with any accessory hooked up to the sled...ANY!
Nice product... trying to be helpful.

In your instructions you say:
That DC POWER plug is NOT fused and DOES draw from the same regulator that feeds the ECU... so, in fact, you ARE plugging into the ECU power following the MTNTK directions.

great thoughts and info MH. when i get one i'm planning on also adding a switch to the system. that way i can control when it does and does not need to be on. i'd like to see that as an option also, not sure why it isn't as it is quite simple to install. but, that's just me.

In talking to MTNTK they had a customer that got a stick stuck in it. Locked the fan up tight.
He said that the lights acted a little funny and the hand warmers didn't work great but the sled ran fine. He rode it out 20 miles and brought it back into the shop. Thats when they found out it had the stick stuck in it. They removed the stick and freed the fan. Checked the sled out with no problems and he is still riding it without any problems.
