Hey guys so I went to APR to pick up something for a friend and I was over hearing a couple people in the back talking about Vortex Generators….so I kind of stayed around and did a James bond type of thing haha…and they said Evo 10 and Vortex Generator…I wanted to get closer to found out a little more in till some one came and asked if I needed any help? I was very interested in knowing if APR will be making any Vortex Generators for our Evo 10’s so I asked them and they told me that they don’t know yet but it’s something that they’ve been talking about for awhile….personally I think that APR would make a crazy looking design for our cars, they’ve done some pretty niice work with there show cars…plus most of there CF products work well in aero dynamics. What do you guys think?

i personally dont like apr stuff, i would go jdm if i was doing an evo, the wing is a good cheap alternative though compared to other companies wings

 

i'm waiting for some jdm tuner to release an X vortex generator. hopefully soon

 

I wouldn't mind an APR VG or APR wing.

 

It would be kind of interesting to see.

 

or a APR widebody!

 

Based on the X design concept, the vortex generators have very little benefit compared to the earlier evos ..

 

you would have to run some crazzy offset wheels!

 

All they have to do is copy the VG on the FQ edition of the X, which comes with one stock.

 

I want one (a real one)!
I saw a local 08 Lancer with a VG and was like WTF? Anyone know who is currently selling them?

 

***.fqperformance.***
replace the *** with you know ( use w and com ) LOL
this guys have a nice VG for the X








i want one!!!


Carbon Vortex Generators £210 + vat, thats £246.75 (Mitsi Price is £284.99) Available now !

 

That site doesn't work. EDIT....nevermind it works.

 

I fully understand that the above product is meant for style and not for any true areodynamic aid.

Having said that, the placement of those vortex generators bother me. The purpose of VGs is to force seperation of the boundary layer, which usually occurs upstream of the downward slope from the roofline to the back windshield. The ones in the above picture seem to be placed along the slope, rather than before it, which i feel is a bit too late. Now i havent seen any streamline data for the X to know for sure, but i feel that these VGs are too far downstream and should be moved up, are optimized for very low speeds (20-30 mph), or are purely there for aesthetics. As i stated before, im pretty sure its the latter.

 

While I generally agree with what you are saying, my inner ricer doesn't give a frack. He wants a VG. That said, I'm not paying 200 GBP for one, that's $400.

 

LOL i know it looks HAWT.. and ill be waiting for a non carbon one. ( cheaper )
