Brake Ducts

Does anyone manufacture them for the G? Specifically some kind of mounting hardware to direct are towards the rotors?

Stillen makes some to fit thier bumper, you could try to modify them to fit your car, I'm thinking about it myself

The Stillen only has the bumper piece. I know where to find a whole mess of those that'll fit the G. The hard part is the caliper attachment to direct the air to the rotors. I tried two years ago to find one for the Z/G. Thought by now someone may have made one.

I'm just going to need to learn how to weld Aluminum :-/

Seems like its just a bunch of the same duct tubing they use for the laundry dryers. Im thinking that you can just use maybe a large funnel and rig it to your bumper. Kinda ghetto though lol

Using a funnel or scoop and tubing is easy. I think GWord256 is looking for the other end that connects to the hub and directs the air onto the rotor like this kit for a BMW

Could probably buy a set for another make/model and rig it up to yours.

I wonder what would be a close fit. Drills and shears I know how to use.

I would think most would work, a hub is a hub, just have to make your own mounting points.

Incase you guys are actually looking into custom work, have a look at this:


Pretty much the inlet is your key to airflow, you need a bellmouth to get optimal flow. There are tons of equations and stuff that give you dimenions needed for various diameters and lengths.

Actually, if you compare the inlet of an 03 airbox to that of the 07, you'll see the change in bellmouth - as both the slope and length changed.

No one seems to make spindle ducts for the Z/G, so I was going to make my own.

Something like this;

Just cut and rivet a set of these on;

That may be worth it. They are cheep so I wouldn't mind wrecking a pair and I still have some of my stone shield left on the car from the BBK install so I could rivit/bolt something like that on.

I'll need to take off my wheels, snap some photos, and contemplate a plan to install one of those.

Thanks,
G
