JmP6889928 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 LOL. A splitter's purpose is to direct air AROUND the car, not under or in many cases not through it. In the case of a splitter directing the air through a car (LMP, TOCA, BTCC, GT500 etc.), the air follows a smooth, guided path through the car and out of a vent. Otherwise, you're creating drag. The splitter has to extend behind the front wheel well to actually work. No wonder why you think you're fast. HP+ are good for autox and light track use. You've never over heated them because you don't push the car hard enough. I don't know why anyone would consider Kumho XSes at this point in time. They were old news 2 years ago. And I definitely have to comment about your brake fluid cooler. That sounds like an excellent idea. I'm sure many racing teams will benefit from your knowledge. I'd like to see your setup because BRAKE FLUID DOES NOT CIRCULATE!!!!!!! Wow. For someone with all your credentials, you've never seen a brake fluid recirculator before?

StoplightAssassin Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Wow. For someone with all your credentials, you've never seen a brake fluid recirculator before? You said, I also have a simple brake fluid cooler that I made that seems to work well. NOWHERE, does that say you installed a brake fluid recirculator. You added a ton of complexity for none to minimal gains. Your car will NEVER see the sustained speeds required for such a system. You could've garnered better results with brake ducts, the correct pads, tires, and 2 piece rotors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csbrown28 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 That sounds like a very practical, doable, and measurable idea. Perhaps have it run on a temperature sensor put in the upper radiator hose or you could have it run on the EGT if you still are using it. Would you rather have it pull through the TMIC or push through from the top? The radiator has it's own temp sensor, so it seems the best way to do it would just be to run a voltage switch from the radiator fan. If I were to do it, seems a pull system would be best, just like a radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to do it, seems a pull system would be best, just like a radiator. The more I thought about it, if you tried to push, when the fan was not running it would just be an air block, so definitely pull. I found this in a quick look: http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-UNIVERSAL-SLIM-FAN-PUSH-PULL-ELECTRIC-RADIATOR-COOLING-12V-/261141906346?hash=item3ccd4543aa&item=261141906346&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr It's 7", cheap, and slim line. I may even try this myself too. What I meant by the sensor in the upper radiator hose, is there are several different types that you can add in without compromising the OE sensor. Flex-a-Lite has a couple of different ones and there are also a couple of aluminum pieces that you cut the hose and install between the two pieces and put a sensor in. Flex-a-Lite also has a temperature programmer (I have one on my big Dodge van) that you can set to turn on anywhere from 170 on up and that could also be a good addition for flexibility. At any rate, I think it's a very good idea and should be simple to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only I've seen some of your other recent handy work and this might shock you, but it's not been exactly quality stuff. In fact it's very much like some of the disastrous efforts in this thread: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/your-own-innovations-actually-help-performance-some-way-198870.html funny how that guy calls those things innovations and then it all ends up with some banter about shoving an axe into the hood.
