Well here is a cheep way to cool down the calipers and rotors.
1- remove caliper
2- remove rotor
3- remove rear backing plate
4- go to home depot and buy 2.5" vacuum hose and floor nozzle.
5- look at photos
6- it all cost $35.00 and works great!!!!

 

the poor man way

 

good idea man... any way to hook-up the A/C system to them hoses? =) i was thinking of doing the same thing for the amps in my trunk.

 

westchester's got all type of cool little things... any others in effect or in the works? =)

 

stay tuned for more tips...................

 

I don't see why you have to remove the calipers, rotors, and backing plate to put that hose in??

 

Hmm, looks like you might have owned a DSM before your EVO.

I was surfing the Lancer Register the other day and I saw someone use something similar to this to cool their brakes. Here's another DIY solution: DIY brake cooling solution

 

the reason to remove the rotor and caliper is to remove the backing plate behind the rotor. this covers the rotor. it traps all of the heat.the hose can now cool the back of the rotor and caliper.

 

Gotcha

 

Mmmm

 

ghetto fabulous!

 

Are you using the aluminum LCA as a jack point?

But to critique what looks like a good idea I think you need to get the outlet of that duct work a lot closer to the caliper/rotor. You should also try putting the inlet of it ducting in an area with a greater high pressure zone. Also work on "hiding" the ducting from exposed air to prevent increasing drag underneath the car. That can be a bad place to create drag/turbulence.

I'd try something more this route: http://www.otcevo.com/brakeduct.asp

 

I should do this just to keep the brake dust off lol!

 

or you can get the ones straight from mitsu when you buy the car and not have to worry about robbing the air from your oil cooler and putting cheap looking hoses under your nice car

 

Damn! i thought the evo came with brake cooling air guides?!? might have to look for options now. Nice DIY mods though! good job!
