The 24 hours encompassed the production of both scoops and both hose interfaces. We used a .8 nozzle with 100% density for strength.
For the M3, if I had to do it again, I’d move the holes for the zip ties a little farther away from the control arm and add a little more “lip” to the opening for stability. I’m trying to decide if I have the courage and resources to do a side-by-side comparison of the ducts versus the Porsche scoops. The ducts require some kind of backing plate to be installed and I don’t think I want to be pulling calipers and rotors off as my track time ticks away. |

Ah, the hours do add up :-)
Don't know if it's relevant but I earlier ran the GT3 scoops for one season, with just some of the metal backing plate folded away to get air on the disc and caliper. So no hoses or anyhting. That was better than stock but not 100% enough cooling for my tracks/driving/PFC08. But the scoops + hoses is worlds better. First time I have more cooling than neccesary and room to spare. Again, that is for my type of tracks, driving style, brake pads... :-) |

I've run into a challenge, though. Mine are rubbing on the wheel body when turning full lock. Its not bad, but enough to leave evidence on the ducts. We tried changing the design to incorporate a little more room where the wheel is contacting, but we can't get the program to let us edit it effectively. Is there a more "original" file we could try? Also, I got my hands on a second set of Porsche front scoops and they fit beautifully on the rear with zero cutting. The air goes directly at the caliper and rotor where I cut the shield. |

I could definitely make a new slightly adjusted design but I'm surprised they rub on your car since I run 10" in the front and have no rubbing. Either way we need to find out what is different so I know what to change. Why don't you contact me on magnus@rejsa.nu so we can work it out together :-)

But I would love to understand why you had this clearance problem. Could you possibly take some pictures? Are you maybe mounting them further inwards to the center of the car than I do? The more outwards you mount them the more clearance you get. |

I’m ready to take the plunge into adding front venting. I bought the 911 deflectors to add, but these vents above with some tubing look way more effective. I also daily drive my car year round (snowy winters) so I’m worried I might be directing snow/salty slush into my disks. Do you guys think I should set it all up for track days and just install night before and then remove them afterwards? I’d modify the stock backing plates to accept the tubing and just clamp on and off. The zip ties easy to cut off to remove the plastic piece. I would probably just leave them on for summer track season.

@FlyingLow78 Did you see what I wrote earlier, the further out from the car you mount them the more room there is. Sounds like you mounted them much further in towards the car than neccesary. I'm a bit curious why you didn't mount them as intended, where there is enough free space and no contact issues. The air flow is very good at the intended mounting position.

It is hard for me to get pics of the car with the wheels on and suspension compressed without a drive-on lift. I don’t plan on bringing the car out of hibernation until April, and I’m slammed with school and work all winter, so all of my projects are on hold until I graduate. |

I've updated on Thingiverse with a version of the original 3D-printable scoop with a slightly tougher version that probably can be used for gravel tracks hahaha!
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3566812 And again, the scoop should be mounted as far as possible away from the car, the closer it is to the wheel the more space to accommodate the wheel when turning it. :-) Last edited by MagnusT; 04-28-2020 at 09:23 AM.. |

The updated larger intake version I did a while back also works with the large Competition calipers, small 18" wheels and also 10" wide wheels in both 18“ and 19“.
