It appears to be a NACA duct, it's just not properly implemented as per the text book definition.

Do you even know what a NACA duct is? That's like saying a sphere is not properly implemented because it is a cube.

How many degrees is this lowering on track temp's?

The duct they mounted in the front bumper appears to have the shape of a NACA duct. My point was that duct was not installed in a way to make it functional which is typically flush mounted much differently than this.

You are instigating, if you have a point make it along with detailed information of what you are getting at.

NACA ducts are designed to be a low-drag inlet to take in air from a surface. They have a specific shape and mounting location, of which this has neither.

My point is that this isn't a NACA duct, as cool as it may be to call it one.

I'm getting tired of neato-sounding descriptions on parts that are wrong.

Technically Dimman is correct.
This is a NACA Duct:

What we're using is typically referred to as a "bumper duct"

Now that is a proper explanation that can be discussed.
The only thing I am saying is he may actually be using a NACA duct in the front. You just can't tell from these pictures.

I agree with you, a NACA duct is not the type of inlet to be used for the application if you want to move air from this location to the brakes. But I we are arguing semantics. It's a prototype brake cooling duct. So for the final version he can use a different inlet duct, drop the term NACA and everyone is happy if it works and is affordable.

I don't think the name NACA duct is "neato" and will not be a determining factor for anyone that is interested in this kit.
Initially - we had few NACA ducts laying around that we were playing with off of one of the race cars - hence I used that term. My fault.

If there is anyone on here that frequents the track and has had some brake overheating issues, and would like to test out our prototype kit - please contact me.
It's snowing here...

Don't see this item on your site? Am I missing it?

It's warm here and I will be heading to the Sebring on April 13 ;)
