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.

Well... I don't think you don't need fancy hats or anything to get cool air to the brakes. They certainly will be more efficient than simply pointing a hose of cool, ducted air at the brake. If you don't have any brake ducting however, then anything is a big step up. As for the question posted, I think the best thing to do is to just route the air out into the wheel wells, but not actually direct the air to the brakes.
That picture posted is simply a very clean (PMS does it really clean) way of routing air out and away from the cooler. Actually, pretty much anything you do will be an improvement. If you have no other holes in your front truck for the air to escape to, you probably don't have much air passing through the oil cooler anyway. And if you already have some holes in the trunk, then either one of two things are happening. One, they're way too small or very poorly located/shrouded and they're not letting the high pressure air escape the trunk area. Or two, nothing's wrong with the setup, and you hood latch might need some attention... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) -Josh2 |
