Custom reroute of brake duct to merge with oil duct intake

D335I · 12-31-2009, 03:14 PM

Just a thought on cooling,

Was looking at the oil cooler intake which looks small and thought about combining both the brake and oil intakes to merge into the oil cooler intake to increase air flow.

Would need to do something to improve air flow for the brakes maybe custom scoops screwed under spoiler.

I hate to look down and see oil temp, it may be normal but it just bugs me out.

i have the oem m3 ducts and they bolt right on to the oil cooler so the whole face gets all the air coming in from the m3 duct.. i love it! 10 degree drop in oil temps easily..

it is for my m3 bumper.. i'm actually working on getting the other duct to reroute air to a cold air intake that i might get in the future if this proves to be a good idea... i'm not sure if all the air that would hit it would be bad (if it has a lot of moisture or something)

Once I get back to school and am able to work on this in the machine shop, I plan on doing this as well.
