Thinking of trying to fit a Vortex Generator on my Evo IV.Thing is they areway to expensive for the ones made for the IV but the ones made for the VIII and IX are much cheaper. I was thinking of tryin to use one on my IV. I can not find the dimensions anywhere online. If someone could measure the length and width and post it for me that would help me out a ton. thanks

Rich

one love

 

really 40 people read this an no one has a IX with a vortex gen on it can cant get a tape measure and check it out for a fellow evo owner...thanks guys

 

Theres no difference between the 8 and 9 roofs/vortex generator. Well thats not completely true; MRs, and RS,s came with aluminum roofs but the meaurements are the exact same.

Just get a VG from Speed Elemet. There $65 shipped with a short antenna.

 

same same

 

i know this i just need someone that has one to measure it for me...cause i have a 4 over here in okinawa...and i want the dimensions so that i can take my type measure and check my car to see if i can fit it or if its too long or what not...instead of spending 300+ on the one they sell for the IV overseas here

 

its the same size the car is not made any different.

 

^
it is made very different...the Evo 4 is not made the same as a 8 or 9 at all

this is crazy i cant believe you guys can not understand what i am asking

how bout this can someone that isnt lazy as sh** and can read please measure there vortex generator an just tell me how long it is or just someone with an 8 or 9 just measure where roof where it meets the back window and tell me the width of the roof please

 

ill be out working on the evo today.. ill take some measurements for ya... no-one seems to understand what your asking. lol. ill try and help out

 

Here is a top view with several dimensions. You'll have to excuse the slight inn-accuracies, I didn't have time to scan it and put it into any of my CAD programs, then draw over it to get a firm detailing of it.
You may note the edges are cut off on this one that go under the gutter trim (those are about 1 inch long each, I was experimenting with a two piece design), but what you see is what shows when you install it on the roof. The radius of the Arc appears to be 106.75in. (271.145cm) , but I think the dimensions show should suffice for some simple measurements.

thank you..finally after over 100 views 2 people understand what i am saying and to all the others that didnt ill say thanks for at least checking out the Thread

 

Roberti22 sorry it took me so long, completely slipped my mind.

38 1/4" from gutter to gutter

40 1/4" over all, which includes the two tabs that sit down in the gutter.

i just ordered a second vg for my car (trying a different color) it should be here in a week or so. if youd like me to make an actual cardboard pattern of it and mail it to you it would be no problem. that way you can check the radious etc.
just shoot me a pm if your interested.

good luck with your devour

steve

*** edit: just noticed the post above, guess you dont need a pattern

 

yeah that would be cool thanks for the help...ill shoot you a PM soon
