did he mention that I stayed up till 3am making that rad ducting for his car ;-) and about 4 hours later I would have to be going 160 mph around BIR!!!
it was worth it, his ducting is sweet ;-p |

WITH electrical load, the fans come on low at 210F with the A/C off, medium with A/C on. At 226F, with electrical load, no A/C, the fans come on medium, and high with A/C on under this last condition. I'm going to hook up the PFC and check the spread. If the Defi and PFC agree, I'll leave it. If they don't, I'll tap lower. -Rotary4tw |

Ducting looks good....some pretty heinous overspray though....

what material is it made of?

There are these which help duct the oil coolers for the 99 spec bumper, that is it covers up the space underneath the coolers. https://www.rx7club.com/forum/attach...hmentid=129230 https://www.rx7club.com/forum/attach...hmentid=129231 |
Yeah, but I never considered those true ducts... lol gotta love Mazda's engineers

i think i found a proj for this winter...
|
looks like a nice job
and a nice car also :bigthumb: |
digging up an old thread here... but do you happen to have any sketches or measurements that you could pass along so i have some sort of template to start from in creating my own duct like this?
where do you buy that type laminant material from? i can't find any dealers. |
I will be selling them shortly, what type of nose do you have? and radiator?
|
the lower temps could also have to do w/ the fact that he doesnt have any AC. Usually that sits right in front of the rad obstructing it no?

please add me to your list of seriously interested persons as i have no ducting for the koyo right now... perhaps i'll just resort to some foam on the sides until the new nose goes on? |
can you get links to picture of the nose for me?
|
i posted a picture of one in your thread about the front splitters (which i'm also interested in, but will have defer purcahasing for a while)
https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v.../7_sanai01.jpg in the very next post, FDNewbie pointed out that the lower contour is very similar in appearance to the C-West front bumpers. |

think something can be done like this for a FMIC? i have a HKS Type S FM and a Fluidyne upright Radiator. the front mount sits 1.25+-" above the R1 lip and the radiator sits back 6" and up 1" from the intercooler. i wish this was possible, but i think you might need my car to make something like this work. i would like something that is flexible that can actually sit under the R1 lip maybe 1/4" and sit right behind the intercooler. so it can get more air under the intercooler.
