Looking for a picture of the inside of rear wheel well of CTR (yellow bird) to see any ducting for the intercooler. It exits out the back bumper so there must be some ducting to draw air up into the I/C.


Thanks...

Hello.
The exits on the rear bumper is for the heat from the turbo.There isnt any ducting too the intercoolers.

Well, there are NACA ducts on the top of the back fenders that were supposed to feed air to the IC's, but according to an article in the latest "Excellence", the ducting did not work as well as Alois hoped.

The ducts from the outside...


And a shot of the intercoolers tucked into the sides below the ducts...

001 was the only naca duct car as they didn't work. I'm looking for pics of any other of the 50 odd ctrs to see what Ruf used to duct air to the i/c on the inside of the rear fender.

Doesn't Adam have a crt?....Adam you have any pics of this?

thanks

Jens Pettersson

Best regard

Adam posted it a while back and shows that there are no ducts as per 001. Two friends of mine own CTR1's and never saw ducting for the intercoolers on their cars.

my understanding is there was some ducts to pull air from under the car up to the i/c's.

I just asked one of my friends who own one. He belives that air is pulled in from the rear whale tail spoiler and not from under the car.

Hi there folks,
No ducting under the flares,I know I service one, air goes underneath the rear qtrs to the engine,Khalid your friend assumption is wrong, the area inside the engine is a low pressure area,
air gets in thru the tail and sucked thru the engine fan creating this low press condition,cheers,Sonny.

Hence the different bumpers on 001 compared to the production models, which have vents in them? Thank you.

Khalid is right if his friend owns a CTR2....where air does come in through the crazy, but very cool looking rear wing.

Thanks Sonny

One of them does. He's one of RUF's best customers.
