Does it really do anything from there? All of the cooling ducts i've ever done have been mounted to a plate behind the disc.

I have lost two days looking for a Rectifier for my welder...still no luck and i thought pcars were hard to find parts for =-(

saw a bad *** 944 s in old town at radio shack it had vented fenders, vented quarter panels, 968 mirrors and handles, chromed turbo twists all with a billy boat exhaust exiting in the center of the rear bumper. navy blue with some primered spots owner came out and he was like a 50+ ... i dont think hes a lister although if you know who he is let me know and also make sure your car has oil pressure before dumping the clutch it is 31* here right now ...

Vented feders? Vented quarters? Chrome wheels? Primered spots?

Thats rice, not bad ***...

Sorry to deceive you my friend but the cooling duct in the pic is the OE one on a 944 TURBO CUP CAR I don't think it was put there just for look.

BlueRiver86

Well having been around race cars a fair bit, i've never seen one like that. It doesn't seem very effective. This is the setup we have always used.

ernie9468

Well what can I tell you that the set up they had on the turbo cup car & I do agree that your's make more sense as a brakes cooling system,not being a race car expert I,m sending you another pic of the so call air duct can you make any sense out of it.

mike10562004

lol rice? man the owner was born before rice was grown in the U.S. he was like 50+

just because he is old doesn't mean he cant be inspired by The Fast and the Furious

It is questionable how much benefit you would get with the air flow that far from the brakes. The 968 had a simple scoop/duct setup that can be retrofitted to a lot of 944s. The lower half attaches to the control arm and deflects air up to the upper half, which bolts to the strut tower and directs air right to the rotor.

ernie9468

I know but why yould Porsche will bother to do it that way , it migth had something to do with getting air in the motor bay ?

ritzblitz

why did you circle the horn?

the brake cooling duct D.Keshler posted is true brake cooling. the air ducts from the 944 turbo cup car squirt a little air around the tires, but don't really do anything at all to keep the actual rotors cool.

see the vents on the inside of the rotors? those are designed so that air flows into the center of the rotor and outward radially through the vents, so long as there is cool air being SUPPLIED to the center of the rotor.

LOL, he DID circle the horn, didn't he?
