I want to make a good showing at my first SCCA National Runoffs so I decided to upgrade my backup engine. (I don't have a real race engine right now.) I'm installing my 94mm Nickies set

Paul, both those ducts are inlets and in a high pressure area on the front of the car. The primary outlet is directly below the cooler - the two plugs in the floor are removed, as well as the small holes in the front of the trunk which are behind the airdam, therefore in a low pressure area. As far as heat rising, it won't have much choice with the ram-air effect at 100mph. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
I'm somewhat constrained by rules, which is why I'm changing the previous configuration in the first place. Even removing the floor plugs may be somewhat debatable as to legality. BTW, I'm not allowed to duct the exit air, or at least extremely limited. |
