Ric Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hi Guys, I've been thinking about adding some air ducts into my front bumper, i could use this for a Auto cooler or perhaps extra feed to the airbox i've not decided yet. It's more of a interest to see what is available or if something can be made to fill the holes around my intercooler. I've photoshopped the red areas here to show where the ducts could go: I thought, perhaps some flat sheet Carbon fibre with a circular duct in the middle would be the easiest option, but i wanted to post here to see if anybody knows of anywhere what sells ducts which maybe similar in shape to the opening here? Would having these ducts take air away from the intercooler? (least resistance) and all that, but i expect a gaping hole wouldn't help either. It would also be interesting to hear other peoples thoughts about how to do this, would be nice to have a discussion about it. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 To be honest, I'd block those areas off to aid in ducting for the IC, and put ducting in the side vents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I'd block those areas off to aid in ducting for the IC, and put ducting in the side vents. I thought about that. But i was thinking the side pods could be good for other things such as a future oil cooler or PS cooler etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraD06 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 If you could make something up like this i think it would look really good, it gives you the air ducting your after but also makes a seal against the intercooler so its ducted better. http://www.ings-net.com/usa/products/n-spec/evo10/zoom/04.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Some carbon was my first thought, would go well with the bottom lip, if you could get some duct done in carbon that could be it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
