Seals the sidepod inlet to the water radiator core so all the air captured by the inlet passes through the core.
A carbon fiber duct forming the diverging section of the diverging-converging cooling path. It hooks to the sidepod through a lip on the duct that catches the sidepod lip, and is mounted to the radiator with high-strength Velcro and zip ties.
Geometry comes out of the CFD cooling model, which targets mass flow rate through the core as the performance metric. CR26I achieved 0.343 kg/s against a 0.265 kg/s target.
Must fit between the sidepod inlet and the leaned radiator without pinching the flow. Must allow the radiator to be serviced without removing the undertray.
Wet layup on a 3D printed mold.
CFRP. Velcro and zip tie mounting, foil tape sealing.
On earlier cars the duct was blown off the radiator by pressure. Fixed with stronger metal fastening and by attaching the sidepod to hold the duct in place.
Nothing in CrimsonStorage covers these yet.
