Mother...F*kin...adfadfhkl;jadl;fkl;.......... been in the garage trying to make some damn ducting. I'm pissed off. someone please post pics if there is anything in existance that will duct air into an upright radiator with a greddy fmic infront of it.



thank

Doesn't Vosko have the Greddy FMIC?You should try getting him to post some pics of it if he has any.

you are in luck. i tried a methos of this, and through trial and error, error, and error, did i mention error? i got it to work. here is a pic of the duct that i made. at first, it ran the length of the radiator, and was cut out so that it could feed the radiator, it wwas attached primarily to the non-oil cooler duct on my knightsports front end. SCREWS in the fiberglass i might add. i also used a plastic gutter drain square and attached the hose to it. you will see what i am talking about.



1. i left the belly pan off. not a good idea once i go the ac condenser back in. it started to get warm.



2. i realized that the thing was blocking air to the radiator, even though i tsupplied its own air.



3. sooo, i cut it off, and, whild still leaving it attached to the front end, attached it to the tow support by zip-ties and all is well now.



i could go one about my issues with the ducting, but i think that you can get the idea....

here is the pic that shows my $30 piece of pipe [very heavy duty] blocking the air to the rad.

and finally, you can see, in the last pic, the non-obtrusive extra ducting that i added. i spent a good bit on the hose, but you can't kill that ****. it is commercial grade flex-xhaust hose....

looks like it runs to the pass side bumper hole. how did you secure it? what temps are you running w/o fans ?

r xplicit has a touring....

his method will not work with an r1 due to the additional oil cooler...

btw...u seem to have some damage to your passenger fender...r xplicit..

care to discuss what happened...

well, the wheels are a little wide up front. they caught the fender once, and again whil eleaving the shop, and one thing led to another. also, it looks weird, but it is not flared like it looks, because i have the front end zip tied in that pic to the bolts. it is a knock-off knightsports/PFsupercar front like rikki has, but has seen a lot worse....currently, it is only hanging on but the upper four bolts. the fiberglass bolt "tabs" are very flimsy on these aftermarket fronts, and i am a prime example....



i have loved my car uncondiitonally, and still this....that is why i just got 2, count em, 2 front ends in. i am going to have them painted at the same time, and keep one for a rainy day....

hardcore...
