anyone care to explain how it works for a newb???

 

Air gets rammed in to a hose at the front of the car and gets ducted into the inside of your front brake rotors. This increased airflow through the rotor vanes keeps the rotors cooler under heavy use on the racetrack. The advantages are less brake fade (less pad fade and lower chance of boiling your fluid) + durability of the components (your pads last longer and your rotors are less likely to develop stress cracks from the heat).

 

Well said Jason.

How's your install coming along?

Still waiting for mine.....doubt it will be in for Mid-Ohio.

 

i see...thanks for the explanation

 

You guys that have this or are getting it, how much does the kit cost? I've very interested.

 

not to get off topic, but you might want to get your tires looked at. tire feathering/ uneven wear problems?

 

I'm gonna have to disagree with this... If he's driving the crap out of it, then theres WAY too much negative camber. It's pretty obvious if you think about it. No point in putting a wide tire on if you're not gonna use the entire contact patch.

 

So do all the underpieces go back together? I noticed some hanging pieces in the pictures but that was probably to take better pictures
How long did it take to install?
And the $64k question, how much?

 

EnthuZ, mcclask and I have/are all getting the kit from N-tech engineering.

I am planning to install very soon. It costs about $260 if I recall correctly (I paid a long time ago).

All of the underpieces go back on after the install. THey were left off in mcclask's pictures so that the hoses would be visible.

EnthuZ - I'll send you a pm

 

Thinking about joining us at Mid-Ohio Rudy? You know you want to be there...

 

I do but it's such a looonnnng drive. I'm not officially starting the track season until May but once I do, I'm going all out. I have 10 track days in May alone (Summit Pt, Watkins Glen, Lime Rock and Barber Motorsports).

 

10 days in 1 Month!

I'm set for 2 at Blackhawk Farms, but if PCA is nice, 3 more at Road America!

Only 5 days till Mid-Ohio!!!

 

I will be getting that duct kit as well.
Please let us know how it works out!

Also, I thought we didn't have a camber adjustment on the Z (only toe)...

 

I went to VIR South last weekend, which is notoriously hard on brakes, and had no broblems with overheating brakes. Brake pads is a different story, but as it pertains to this duct kit and my front Stoptech kit, they were fine. My pads smeared and I had bad uneven deposition problems on the rotors that grew worse, but that will be cured by using proper pads next time. So the bottom line is this kit works well if you are trying to maximize your brakes (which this car demands)!

 

what pads did you have up front?

 

Holy crap, that's a sh1tload of track time. As much as I'd love to join you at SP, I'm too pissed off at Uncle Sam to go.

Rob, which pads are you using? Also, which fluid are you using?

And to repeat the million dollar question, how much does this ducting cost?

 

He was running carbotech's XP9's. I know because I had the same problem with them as well!

 

Better check them tires inside tread can't find front tire camber bad

 

?????

 

Why did you not let us know about the ducts last weeknd.. Would have loved to take a closer look at them.... I was waiting on 350evo to come out with some. I was told that they were in devlopment. I know my brakes got a bit too hot at vir last weekend. I not sure if I worped the roators or if it is a problem with the pads, not had a chance to check them out yet.. will later today.


Also what did you do to use your stock seat as a chari... pics of how it is attached maybe.. I have been thinking of doing that with my stock seat but not had teh time to make anything.
