It's actually an option on OEM Japan toyota 86 racing grade. (I have catalog)

Now you can buy it just as a part separately O.o

Ya.......... 200 buck

Picture belongs to Calen in Miyagi prefecture on minkara
Now does it work?

For testing purpose it's only installed on one side.

& Yes you can't see it unless car is jacked up or you are looking @ it from even ground level.

After pushing it hard, the side with air duct is sitting @ 88 celcius (190f)

:D figure it's a "cool" part to share :w00t:

:drool:

Wow, what a huge difference just that one piece makes! Great post man :)

I wonder if there is an easy way to make it yourself for a few bucks. it looks like a simple piece

I guess that this have pros of being simpler to fit (as no need to route/pass air tubes/ducts like for APR or TF ducts), but cons - easier to scrape/damage/stuff with snow due being closer to ground.

Cons also might be not as effective since it's not ducted as direct

looks like a nice simple and effective mods for non lowered cars.
If you do lower the car, I am afraid the piece may get damage very quickly.
you would probable better off installing the porsche gt3 brake ducts. they cost $30 on eBay and can be added to the control arm pretty well.

Again this is more for non lowered cars.

It's good for minimal drop. The owner of this car is on HKS hipermax GT with 1.18 inch(3cm) up front, 1.37(3.5cm) in the rear.

Fact is with front lip you cant really lower more. :p + If you have a lip, the lip will actually protect this piece you see. ;)

Another thing is that I don't think the porsche one would be as effective as this on our car, this is true direct air passage from high pressure area to low pressure area. It's not so different from putting a air duct through your fog light.

Overall i'd prefer tougefactory's ducts. They won't scrape, as they are not below bumper like these, and they won't require removing fog lights in upper toyobaru trims, like APR's will, as inlets are near rad, not behind foglight openings. And they direct air directly to disk/caliper.
There is 4th option of one guy making active brake cooling with thermal sensors and electric fan, but that sounds to me like overcomplified overkill. Yes, indeed with such even stock brake thermal capacity will be enough for heavy track use, but i'd rather invest that money to upgrade to BBK, which will bring lightweightness and cheaper wearables too.

What lip/bumper extension is that?

Brake ducting is only as effective as the pads you're running.

For street use or throwaway pads, they're fine.

Caveat emptor.

Those temps are after hard driving? In sub freezing weather I guess?

Just saying, but I see water on your wheels. If I had been driving (and braking) hard, that water would have evaporated off before I can get out of the car to take brake temps.

i'm much more interested in that splitter. do you have a link to that? or better pics?
