I had some hub mounted nozzles like SmikeEvo uses but I sold them to someone. I’m using 3” cooling hose so I’m attempting to fabricate my own nozzles that accommodate the larger hose. In the end it all funnels down to the same rather small opening between the caliper and the hub so I’m not sure if it will make any difference.

I like the fact that it may route some the the air under the front lip upward which could make for a little lower pressure under the car and leave more air on the front lip for downforce.
If this was developed a little it may have multiple strong aspects!

[QUOTE=82NoMe;5171014]....how you would measure flow. ...QUOTE]
I have no plans to measure air flow nor do I have any idea how this would be accomplished. My plan is to run alternating track secessions with the ducts connected then disconnected/blocked and measure rotor temps see how much lower I can get them. I’ll also closely watch pad wear so see if I can get more life from my pads. But until they scrape the ice of the roads around here this will have to wait until spring.

WE need to do some comparison test using brake caliper temperature indicator strips.Check out HOERR Racing Products www.hrpworld.com Its a Porsche and GT racing product company. They state that caliper temperatures should not exceed 450 degrees.

I have had the idea to this for a long time. The question was, would it be enough airflow and how can I measure it? I have a way now! Get a cheap MAF from a junkyard. Hook it up to both methods, front bumper duct and this, NACA scoop on tray. The voltage measured will tell you flow.

Shop vac attachments worked for me, but I plan on moving them further back when I lower the car.
To find out if they are working or not, you can use a temperature indicating sticker on the caliper to see if the temperature is changing.
