Keeping electronics cool under the hood - there are (at least) two factors
here-

 

1) keep heat of motor and headers from roasting electronics stuff

2) cooling the electronics, because they make heat also.

 

If you just put the electronics in a nice insulated box, they will burn up,
even if there isn't any heat being added by engine or headers.

 

I'm currently stripping a '98 Buick Regal (donor car).

 

The ECU was in a nice plastic box that kept engine heat away from it.

The air inlet for the engine pulled through the box.

 

Yes, it heats up the air into the engine a bit. But you know damn well that
if the engine is running, there's at least <some> outside air being pulled
across the ECU to keep it from roasting.

 

FWIW

Jay
