Couldn't help myself today. I Detailed a brand new Taycan then laid down on the Floor and looked under from the Front and the Rear. Specy, very specy. Full Flat Floor with Air Deflectors ahead of the Tires. Time well spent.......
u guys shoulde make the aluminum replaceable so that it can be crushed or dented and then replaced. I think it was a good idea cuz instead of the carbon fiber being exposed first and get chipped away and cracked. it has a structure meant to cave a bit. you just gotta make it slide out or bolt on/off
You can probably move the 2 most outer tunnels closer to the edge of the front splitter, it would be interesting to see what the difference in air flow would be when the air is redirected outwards away from the tire/wheels
We probably could, yes, but we found these locations work best with the overall aero setup as the full aero package was developed together to work in unison.
Any chance you guys produced spares for the splitter mounting bracket? It’s such a neat design I’d love to purchase it for my time attack build, let me know :)
I learnt so much with watching the flow around the Front Diffuser Splitters around the front tires. Seeing your FDS has turned the light globe on for my own FWD race car - thank you. Question - Is there a need to apply your FDS to the area ahead of the rear wheels? I look to rotate the rear of the car to help thru corners. And perhaps run less Rear Wing..... your thoughts?
I'm sure you could, but our front diffusers are quite large, and not sure how'd you get it to work in from of the rear tires. I believe Porsche does something similar on one of their factory cars. We personally have never tested it, so we cannot say 100% one way or another if they are beneficial or not.
@@VerusEngineering Interesting you mention Porsche. I work at a Porsche Dealership (and race a Honda DC5!). We had the ELM Car Spa here on display but unfortunately they never let me put it on the Hoist.
Another thing I wanted to chat with you about. Is your smaller Triple Diffuser arrangement making DF when the wheels are being steered? To me they look like they do. Am I correct? Also am I correct in thinking we need added DF in the Corners hence your Triple Diffuser arrangement.
I've had a thought about fitting Mid Diffuser's ahead of the Rear Wheels. For me (Honda DC5) I'd be mounting them on flat horizontal Side Plates. Then directing /organizing the air to exit the back via tunnels that go over the rear wheel Arch's inside the car. Perhaps ushering the Air to go out the vertical flat area of the Boot Lid under the Wing? Thoughts? And I'd like to purchase your Front Diffusers but can't find a Link. Can you help please.
@@VerusEngineering i thik ill give this a shot. my current splitter is made from two sheets of AGM bonded together,i used a router to form a bevel but ive neever been quite happy with the result

This splitter was designed with a limited budget in mind, so that is why it was designed the way it was.
@@VerusEngineering It was a great concept to build upon.

Unfortunately, we do not. However, our friends at Professional Awesome Racing make a really neat quick-release spiltter mount now.

@@scottwyman5014 Yes, it still makes DF when steering and yes, the corners are where you want the added DF.

where did you get the huge flat washers for the under body panels?
We have them available on our website under the universal products section.
Is the huge gap around the bottom of the bumper intended? Seems like you’d be losing downforce with the air escaping through it
Are you talking about the small gap between the front lip and the front splitter? It was sealed with helicopter tape.
How are you guys getting the 3d models of the vehicle?
We scan them in-house with a 3D scanner and solidify them into CAD models.
how did you bond the pipe for the front radius to the alumalite?
After the two sheets of alumalite were bonded together, the tube was simply bonded on with a metal bonding agent.

Best of luck to you! We love seeing DIY aero.@@theprofessr11
How would it affect a lotus eclipse?
Lotus Elise? We have never run CFD on an Elise, so it is hard to say.
