Working along side with Jamie at CW Racing to develop a proper front splitter. (Not a front lip)
Universal for all cars as long as the front end if flat. (This can be achieved with a front lip added on) This is what we've come up with so far. Opinions pls? ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Does it come under the car so that it's not visible or does it gonna stick out under the front bumper. It will stick out front he bumper by about 2 inches yes. Splitter rods will be included in the kit too. I understand the 2 outer most channels, but the rest of them are not clear to me. having those channels at any angle other than 0 degrees will create more turbulance under the car, the channels should serve as a guide for the air to escape the underbody of the car faster, not aimed to hit the underbody, so a flat underbody with a REAR diffuser is the " most " effective way. ^ this is how I understand this works, not an attack to your concept, just trying to get some acknowlegde as how this is suppose to work and why. Understood. The idea is that the splitter sits lower than the mid section so by having a slope it helps increase the air flow speed up as it passes. We've done a few more simulations to test this logic. I'll post it up later on. Culp is right having those angles underneath the car will actually cause lift. Also the 2 on the outers are pushing air towards the tire and you want to push air away from the tire. (Will only work at high rate of speed and if air can even make it to the channels) If you moved the outer channels inside angle to the mid point of the tire and angled the inner two towards the brakes or change the angle 360 so the ducks push cool air into the engine bay(as long as the road temp is cooler the ambient air) BUT on most of our cars it wont even matter because for the most part the cars dont see speeds for this to be effective or not. P.S. If hydroplaning those outer channels would push more water under the tire at high rates of speed. I see your point. The idea on the two on the wheels are quite similar to the two main at the rear. Typically a pain splitter is totally flat. The same air passes under directly in front the the tyres are the same volume when hitting the tyres. Many new cars divert the air by putting a flat panel rite in front of the wheel face. This works by diverting the air away from the wheels but as a result, causes much more turbulence and more drag. So the idea is instead of diverting it down or to the side, the same about out air is directed up and over. The rotation of the wheels push the air out anyway. |
