I'm thinking of making a brake cooling duct with the air that goes through my front-mounted oil cooler and running hoses into the wheel wells, but don't know where to start. Does anyone have any designs or pics of their brake cooling ducts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Uhm, you mean routing the heated air from the oil cooler to the brakes? Why? Then you'd be defeating the purpose of running air to the brakes. Unless... you're actually experiencing "not enough" brake fade, and are looking to increase it...
No, really, why route heated air to the brakes? You can either use something like the brake scoops that Chris makes (or made), or run hoses to brake ducts in a front air dam. But running the heated air from the oil cooler to the brakes seems a bad idea to me... Granted, it's not BAD, like it'll kill your brakes or anything. It's still cooler than the brakes are, but why go to the trouble of running ducts if you're gonna use pre-heated air that's going to be hotter than the ambient air around them already. -Josh2 |
