DIY: Brake Cooler scoops

[2k05gt]

I don't know the exact science behind it, but what does this do with the pressure on the hood at higher speeds? Will it stay the same or increase?

Depends on how sealed your CAI filter was. if you did this on a stock box the pressure would increase acting as a ram air (Hmm Idea....)
on the open type CAI with a heat shield, not so much, more just to lower Air Intake Temps

More to come...

Nice job i'm thinking i'll rob a few parts from my shop vac.

would this really make a difference with the stock box on?

yes if routed into the box

I did something similar on my car about 2 years ago, and recently redid it after my supercharger was installed but only from the driver side... I have a aeroforce Interceptor gauge that reads Air Intake temps, and I noticed the 2" pipe that I am running helped cruising temps an average of 5-7* lower. However the biggest difference was in heat soak... to explain:
Normally when I useto accelerate hard, my Intake temps would go from 100* to 125ish. They would remain there for a good 5-10 minutes before dropping back down. Thats with cruising and just flooring it once to get up to speed on a highway, not racing or weaving! But since I installed a cooling tube, the temps still rise to about 125, but they drop back down within 20 seconds, which shows a definate improvement in cooler air being pushed into the intake. keep in mind this is all in FL weather, it hasnt cooled down yet, but I will keep everybody updated once it gets cooler!

it wouldnt throw off the maf?

shouldnt because when my buddies at the track he runs with a drop in K&N filter and takes the lid off the box and no codes ......correct me if i am horribly wrong

just wondering, but yeah this mod is why i bought the drop in from you haha

I am curious....do you switch from a cone filter to a factory airbox with k&n when you run at the track? With the air ducts does it perform better than a cai set up?

Did you make the little bracket that the hose attaches to behind your brakes?

i have no idear, i dont have a cai set up, im all stock box, i just want cooler air temps w/out throwing off the maf

I gotcha. I thought maybe you chose to use the stock box over the cai.


Does this help with cool down time between runs down the track? You'd think the engine wouldnt be getting quite as hot with the air comming in.

logically, i would think that the air would be cooler, but then again, i dont drive on the track that much

wel if you cut yours up badley and mess up the box for nothing , i have one here haha

 

[Styre]

I'm going to try this. I touched my C&L street after driving it for about 30min. That damn thing was blazing hot. This has to help some.

i wonder if the extra air will make it run leaner since more air is been pushed in.

Very good point
