Finally, I get it! Thankyou. What about a pressure membrane with hundreds of tiny sensors for live data (on track) linked to a computer in the car for each wing profile? Tilt adjustment?
Was great until i saw you ramming the headlight in to get it to fit due to the poor silicone hose design, Will pass as the headlight is more expensive to replace. what RND did you do to ensure that the silicone hose design wont cause damage to the headlight bracket over time you must be able to show some DFMEA data as you have a major clash condition.
We wanted to maximize available area to ensure the turbo and engine are fed with as much cool, clean airflow as possible. No one internally felt that the headlight bracket would fail over time but only time will tell, you're right. We appreciate the feedback though and will take it into consideration.
Flow vis will trick you. It's only giving you a time average of the wall conditions. The boundary layer is different to the bulk flow field, unless it's fully turbulent.
Dimples create separation bubbles. After a separation bubble the flow is almost always turbulent. While easier to predict(it's already turbulent, you don't have to predict the transition from laminar to turbulent), it loses a lot of kinetic energy. A trailing edge separation style wing takes the unpredictable transition from laminar to turbulent flow out of the equation.
Aerodynamics is pretty complex topic to really have conversations about due to basically all the reasons listed in this video. Fluid flow is just a bit of a pain to describe and understand when the system is rather dynamic, such as a car going around a track. Pressure fluctuations and turbulence practically ensure that at any one time, the flow around something like a Verus wing is not like an ideal streamline CFD screenshot. CFD and flow visualization are still crucial to designing and optimizing modern components, but with any simulation, you ultimately have to try to verify and validate design characteristics with experiments to ensure you have minimized distortions.
Ford Motorsport does. Most car companies typically don't however; most likely to cut cost. It's not 100% percent necessary but it highly beneficial to have if you want to increase your engine's lifespan.
Products like these should be designed not to rest on pinch welds. The puck is not deep enough to reach/touch the inboard underside of the vehicle's uni-body where it is suppose to rest. You need to do better -- back to the drawing board, fellas.
I have a habit of watching any video that RU-vid recommends with less than 1000 views. It is my way of helping the smaller channels. Keep up the good work!
Some aftermarket exhausts may require trimming. Feel free to e-mail us at sales@verus-engineering.com with photos of your exhaust if you have any. Our team can take a look.
@@VerusEngineering Headlights: on the part where the headlight is narrow (the part that is close to the sign), print a piece and cover that part of the headlight (paint it in the color of the vehicle), so it will remind a little of the older models. Rear: Make a trunk that does not have such a big duck's beak, much lower, of course it follows the line from the sides (similar to the 911), then do some upgrades. Of course, it is demanding due to aerodynamics. When the designers make a new model, they must be tested for alcohol and other things :)
Is there actual evidence to the "high pressure in the wheel well" claim? All the evidence I have seen is that the wheel well has a lower ambient wheel well pressure. Vents on wheel arches seem to be effective is because they lower the pressure further.....
I would generally agree with that. The wheel well often has a ton going on between spinning wheels and tires, radiator outlets etc. There are local areas with very low pressure, and areas with very high pressure. I think it’s safe to say that on average the wheel well pressure is lower than ambient but that there is enough pressure differential from the top side of the hood to the wheel well to drive flow outward. Another consideration is that some of the surface area of the hood that is producing lift has been removed.
Looking at a car with our dive planes, high df splitter/end plates, side splitters, diffuser/spats, hood vent and v1x at 2°, adding the fender vents increases front end downforce by 4%. The fender vents can be used to shift aero balance forward, or substantially increase total downforce by maintaining the same balance and increasing rear wing angle of attack.
That’s literally a hole. It would be great if you did something that pulls air out of the fake vent already on the hood, and make it functional. I’m sure there is a way to develop a duct with a “channel or cut out” that separates rocks from the hot air to drop them under the car rather than the A pillar.
A hole is what you want and is why you see similar designs on most race cars. Go look at what a gurney flaps (the upflick on the leading edge of the duct) does and you'll see that this design will pull plenty of air from within the wheel well.
For a more clear installation of this, I've included the link from CMAutohaus who also installs the new sealed throw out bearing and clutch fork. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iXI9EeaBbWs.html
Great innovation and creative solution. 👌 Rocks flying into the engine bay ah No No. Lol. Siemens Nx for CAD - better modeling tools? Useabilty? The animation of the two pieces coming together... super cool 😎 A really nice functional part. Keep up the awesome work. Really inspirational. 🙌
Thank you! This currently model will be entirely open as performs better. That said, due to the two piece design, it should be pretty simple to create a mesh blocker that seats in between to block debris for street use. At the end of the day we really intended this for track use.
It performed better with it completely open. You're right about this being a racecar upgrade, as we intend for this to be for track car use specifically.
FA20? We haven't confirmed fitment, but we would assume not. We also haven't heard of oil pressure drops being a major issue with the last gen 86 and BRZ cars.
@@VerusEngineering I saw the same pressure drops in my gt86 on right hand corners on a 200tw tire. If a basic 0.5L overfill doesn't help I would consider this upgrade assuming it fit of course ha
For me this isn't a "maybe sometime" purchase... this is a "must have asap" Its simply terrific to know the dedication and effort you guys are putting in bringing this to market. 900BRZ steered me here :)
Thanks for putting effort towards solving this issue. Personally, I would trade .3L of capacity for more room around the stock headers plus the capability to accommodate aftermarket headers. I could even do .5L over on this pan and then having +1.5L from stock.
Thank for your interest and your feedback! We've been made aware about the community interest in the use of aftermarket headers. There's a lot of factors and trade-offs at play here. We'll be sure to update the community as soon as we have a definitive route!
