SMIC vs FMIC

1st gens already have that bumper cut you talked about earlier

Or you could do something like this.

the first gen is the right idea...but implementation is crap, and there is no point to it being completely open as you want negative pressure...and I suspect you'd just get normal pressue with the air being forced up from underneath...

[mb7050]

hmm.




spoilers like these could work also, expecially for me and others running slightly too wide tires . these would prevent the air hitting the tires and quite possibly reduce wheel well pressure ..

re-direct the airflow past the front of the wheel well right to the wheels eliminating turbulence, and secondly adding more front surface area for airflow to effectively apply down force on.

you mean louvers,much much smaller in size, of course ?

You have to understand that those cars you are referencing have spent thousands of hours in wind tunnels, and R&D.

I might "guess" that the louvers your are pointing out are not being used to exhaust air from a cooler like what we would need. Looks to me like they are creating a low pressure siphon to pull air from the coolers, or aero, which would not work for us?

The wheel well louvers might be creating low pressure to pull air through the upper fender vents for tire/brake cooling? I see no evidence of coolers at the locations that are pointed out. I may be wrong though...

yes i know

upper fender vents

in that car and many others those are used for to remove pressure from the wheel wells

this might work for us.

I´m just adapting some ideas from race cars. ideas that might not work at all, but might as well work with what we have. ..

The crazy arsed skyline is my best example, you'd need to have the vents sealed against the back of the IC and I'd want it to have the same edge as the hood vents (this specific lip that you see is know to create the best low pressure zone or so I've been lead to believe, since my SMIC mounting looks like it will end up right against the stock vents in the arch's I'd need to make a new baffel panel that takes up a smigion more wheel arch space (should not really be an issue considering our normal clearance.
