Awesome, this is exactly what I was talking about. I plan on putting together something like this when I really start modifying my car. Amuse R1 front with some simple channels to guide air into really simple passive air guides ducting air to the center of the rotor and caliper. Those control are mounted ducts are fantastic.

If someone wants to manufacture a brake duct kit, that is the way to go for sure.

 

^ did they just make it for that one car or are they going to sell it??

 

Those MotoIQ ducts are pretty cool. I'm thinking you could make something similar using standard silicone brake duct hose and inserting an L-shaped piece of aluminum or plastic into the hose to "oval it" and give it the required bend. You could then Zip-tie it to the lower a-arm.

 

I like this idea alot as well.

Hey Rob your Idea with using the ducting is a good one.

Rivet or bolt the cylinder style piece (that's been used in lots of duct kits) to the backing plate, connect the 2.5" flex hose to it, zip tie the silicone ducting flex hose to the lower a arm and put a rectangular funnel type end on the other side of the flex line to catch the air.

All we need is Rob to do it and throw up a DYI on his web site.

Are you interested Rob?

 

I agree, those are pretty awesome. I'd like some for the rear before the front (mainly because I already have fronts).

 

I have AP1 ducts to the front bumper and my rears don't need them. The rear pads and discs last forever and the temp range is good.

 

Something I don't think was specifically mentioned with the MotoIQ project car, the dust shields were completely removed. That alone has to make a huge difference in managing the temperature of the inner rotor face I think. Do the front dust shield serve any other purpose other than helping the wheels stay clean? It seems like they would also act as a heat shield for the ball joints, brake lines, etc.? It seems many will wrap the ball joints and brake lines with heat tape to keep them from from getting thermal damage. Could be wrong about this, but seems like a good idea whether or not you have removed your dust shields.

 

few weeks ago i decided to try something similar to Motoiq's.
but i thought to direct it to a caliper.

 

I figured rears was not necessarily directly for pads/rotors, but rather to keep temps down for your hubs/wheels bearings.

At least that's the reason I'm going to fab up rear ducts for my car - increased bearing/hub life.

 

the Z guys use a spatula, zip tie it to their control arms, and viola... directs more air to their brakes.
