Ooooo tires are a also on the top of my list. the kit does nothing if im spinning,

You know you want to drive a ptuning kited car ;)

 

LOL.....I want to drive PTuning's car....hahaha.

 

sorry to thread jack but mo...you have your car back?

 

Got it today!!! check out my thread for pics!

 

Got to stretch the legs a little at the AutoX yesterday. Fun times. I definitely need to hone some skills on the AutoX, but I did beat some dude in the new SI, and a WRX too. The guys running the event though let me know I was in the wrong class...lol. I was in FSP, but should have been in SM fwd.

Oh well, here are a couple of pics I took with the camera phone.

 

Travis, I am curious about your front brake coolers. Did you modify the existing dust cover or did you get new ones? I have thought about doing this to my car in the future and would like to see how you did yours.

 

Dust covers? Do you mean those plastic liners that go on the inside of the bumper that always fall out? I don't have any of the factory plastic liners in the fender, under the bumper, or on the inside of the bumper.

 

No, I meant the dust covers on the back of the rotors. Did you cut a hole in those to attach the air piping to or did you do something else.

 

I think he's revering to the air inlet in the front but that I think is going to be for ptunings turbo

 

He has the inlet on both sides of the car. The D/S doubles as an intake inlet and a brake duct.

 

Yea, I know what the inlets are for, my question is how the "exhaust" end of the duct is setup to cool the brakes.

 

I know. I don't think the other guy knew he had them on both sides.

Is this what you're referring to?

 

travis you know those liners are supposed to be on your car for a reason right ? You can go with out the fender liners but the liners that are on the bumper are all designed to divert air to the radiator. I took mine out too but when I get the car painted I am putting everything back on.

 

yeh but i dont think this is what travis has intended these inlets for...the air inlet for the ptuning's turbo kit sits down at the fender is this is what i think travis has those inlets for!

 

My Brake/Air ducts are for use of the PTuning turbo kit filter/intake. And the other side will serve as the pathway to an Oil cooler.

So, my plans were to not use them for brake cooling. However, I still could do both. I believe they do make a duct connection that splits for dual channels from one duct. My duct ports "exhaust" are 2.5 inches wide I believe.

 

I have a Mishimoto Radiator. Not to worried about it. I've been running this way for a good while now. I plan to build a whole Aluminum piece to replace that plastic BS that ripps out at Highway speeds is it's not 100% secured.

True Story....

 

you give me motivation again to mod my car lol

 

Mod away bro...mod away..


Just checked the demisions and the duct port I have is 2.75 in diameter, and that is the Medium size air duct.

The Small one is 2.5. Large is actually a Dual channel duct each being 3 inch diameter.

 

Ahhh, I could have sworn you mentioned splitting them for double duty as brake coolers. My bad.

 

Naw, but it's possible I reckon.
