The idea in my head is to raise the muffler up as I've seen done on honda tech in a thread started by vectorsolid.
I will at that point build a diffuser to Finish the belly pan at this point, the ideal boat tail length should be a lot shorter, right?
Aerohead, I saw a photo of your toyota with what seems to be a cowl induction hood. Can you explain or link me to some details on that? NVM http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...-28791-20.html
That could in my mind help with drag created by wipers, which I'm not at all ready to lose for the rain gets pretty bad here in the sunshine state.
Also, at the autocross, they told me to look ahead.. included some verbiage about taping the windshield and or helmet visor?.. |
*On the 2nd-gen CRX they raised the back of the roof to 'slow' the curvature down.
*If raising the muffler allows you to do a 2.5-degree diffuser,that would be a good thing.
*With boat tails,the 'ideal' is always the full tail.Here is the evolution of the 'Kamm' tail.They start with the whole thing,then slice it off to an 'optimized',practical-length tail
*The blister on the T-100 reduces the angle between the 'hood' and windshield,since it's more difficult to lay the windshield back at a steeper angle.It reduces the pressure peak at the windshield header a bit.It might help with the transverse flow to the A-pillars.Don't know.Ventilation suffers a bit do to lower cowl pressure.
*I tested the cowl area at Bonneville (cardboard and duct-taped over completely)for both the CRX and the T-100.If it made any difference,it could not be measured to a 1/1,000-second or 1/1,000th-mph.My opinion is that you could spend your efforts better elsewhere on the body.
