I am thinking like on a c-130 engine, not hard to do a ring with holes around the engine, a 10 lb co2 or halon ( if I can find it) bottle inside and a fire warning light. Got to figure out a temp for it the compartment usually is pretty hot with that engine and headers.

yeah, headers get, what, 1500 degrees?
 
I got them wrapped but they still gets hot in there. Guess a temp probe in there with the hood closed. The older c-130 used a optical flame detector, wonder what they run, Would suck to backfire if it is automatic.
 
Hmm got me thinking a flame detector from a oil burner? I wonder. **** I need to re wire it first! Pretty sure they close a circuit when it is detected.

Concourse, does that mean "as if it rolled off the production line yesterday"-restauration?
 
Always wondered what a new car smells like. Anything like wild Smurf Berries.

Most underhood temps stay below 250° or they will add heat protection near the hotter spots...

Yes it will come back more powerful! With a flame suppressor under the hood!

Of that I have no doubt!

I would keep the fire sensor and suppression control separate though. Leave it to the pilot to decide if it's a real fire that needs suppression or not.

After that, you need an ejector seat installed to get you out of there when the **** really goes bad. Shoot you 500 feet in the air and deploy the chute for a safe landing. Just make sure you are wearing a helmet...
