Just installed new front brake ducting by speed engineering in Germany.
Tracking Tuesday with Cobalt friction pads recommended by Boomer 2019 Install took about 2 hours including my pad swap. 3d printed ducting mates to the intake scoop, and converts to 2.5" round to handle the silicone ducting. Then attached to their hun plate made from what seems like 040 sheet aluminum. Inlet hits right at the hub. They claim 70c rotor temp improvement.

No I used one large zip tie against the frame behind the plastic fender liner. I was concerned about having enough movement for lock to lock.

The 3d printed duct is a little brittle. I broke a tab and had to plastic weld it back together, but otherwise ok.

These worked really well yesterday on track. No issues, and brakes performed well. No Smoking and no brake smell, even in the hot pits right off hot laps.

or in place. but unclear if that would defeat the purpose, if the mesh was too restrictive. tracking 1-3 times per year i would just try the removing the stock covers and see if you are having brake heat issues. where i track in the summer it's > 90F and i have had multiple heat issues, engine and brakes, so now i just limit it to 6-8 laps per session on top of the using this brake duct system |

but generally staying under 8 laps + 1 cool down lap per session things are fine. all in all tho, never experience brake fade. i don't have any cooling on rear, nor do i have any real significant rear wear. not sure what i am going different, but ppl seem to always have excessive rear wear. ppl also experiencing driving assistance systems coming on, etc. i have been on busy track, gone off track, never experience windows up, safety stuff, i have all the driving assistance packages, etc. |
