it seems like it only cools the very centre of the disc... wouldn't it be better to have a duct cool the outer edge of the disc where the pads make contact or even ducting cool air into the the cooling vanes in the centre of the rotor? I reckon make somthing like a caliper that goes over both sides and the top of the rotor then duct cool air from the front bar into that... just my thoughts.

they do spray water onto the brakes of a DTM car but only when they are coming into pitlane as stopping with red hot brakes causes fade when they return to the track or so the article i found said. Also those truck they race pump water onto the brakes all the time.

I have also found some 3" 12 volt fans that are used in nascar to cool brakes down. They are place in the brake ducting and will move 145CFM i think that would help.

used to run water cooling in f1 as well as a way to beat minimum weights....they'd get weighed with 30kg of water on board then dump it on the brakes nice and early, then run around 30kg lighter :thumbsup: I still think there is a god chance of cracking them though

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
