ah, you just posted as I re-read dereks write up....

thx....

 

JTB.. your not worried about the hose moving and rubbing a hole in your boot?

am I just being paranoid.... ?

 

No.. it is worth worrying about. I have mine lashed down securely but I checked and worked with it during a track day to make sure it wouldn't move. I still check it occasionally just in case.

Once you install it, drive a little ways and then check it again to see if things shift.

 

Call me crazy but I think it would be worth to buy these caliper ducts from Power Engineering in the UK.





They are pricey.. but I dont think I could have someone custom fab them for me for any cheaper.... plus they are proven to work.

Now think about what happens if you do it by just zip tying the hose to the air deflector, 'if' it is directed correctly and pushes air towards the rotor, it still only pushes air towards one side of the rotor. With the above piece it will introduce air to the center of the rotor and cool 'both' sides of the rotor.

I am a firm believer in the stock rotors with aggressive pads. Slotted, drilled.. all that crap has never helped me in the past but the shorten the life of pads or crack rotors.... so this caliper duct I think will save me $$ in the long run.

Price: 120.00 GBP = 230.00 USD plus shipping

what do you guys think?

 

Do you have a link to where we can buy them?

email james@powerengineering.co.uk and tell him Nils from the USA sent you.

 

FYI - the inlet to the caliper duct is a 2" diamemter...

 

Placed the order... they are in stock so it shouldnt be that long.

Will run with PCA here in beginning of april, will let you guys know how they worked out.

 

Power Engineering is not answering e-mails.

 

I'll try to contact them Monday.

 

I don't see this on their website. There's a kit for 323.40(in whatever currency they use) but it says it's for the Evo 5 & 6.

 

the actual caliper duct is not listed on the site... but they told me they sell them seperately and they fit Evo 8 calipers.

 

Got a message back. Their now backordered, but will have them in two weeks.

 

ha!

I lucked out and got the last pair in stock I guess.... shipping out to me tomorrow.

Once I get them I'll let you guys know how fitment and quality is...

 

Forced performance has designed a great kit for me... www.forcedperformance.com

Good and affordable...
