Well I bought stuff from Aircraft Spruce with the intention of running duct work up to the air filters. However after getting the crash bar back in place and the coolers installed... It was really looking like the duct work would end up blocking flow to the radiator and coolers in the most ideal routing.
For the moment, I've just removed the block off plates from the fang vents entirely. We'll see what this does. http://www.cdmfabrication.com/bbpics...blockoffs1.jpg My intake temps were already pretty low, before hand at 9 degrees above ambient at speed with the car warm (that is with the hood vents). So that is my base line. Since I don't think I can get the duct work in there how I want, I'm almost thinking maybe some small scoops behind the fang vents to direct air up where I want it? That I could likely install just by removing the splash shield. |
Working on a spacer to eliminate the spacer tire and factory sub in the back and still get the carpet and such back in the car. Don't exactly take my the 370 to the grocery store, but I'd like to be able to set things back there if I had to.
http://www.cdmfabrication.com/bbpics...arespacer1.jpg Painted the aluminum this morning. Then rubber will be going on the bottom and top of that the aluminum. Then lexan roughly the size of the hole, then a layer of dense foam to fill the gap in the factory foam, then another layer of lexan. Probably make more sense when I post more pictures of it finished. |

Congratulations on your progress I really like the hood vents thumbs up.

I did finally get all the carpet back in the car. First step was gluing rubber down to the bottom side:

On top of that foam I have another piece of lexan to protect the foam, and helps make up the distance between the two layers of foam: http://www.cdmfabrication.com/bbpics...arespacer4.jpg Then all the factory stuff on top again. |
