Hey guys,
I’ve been doing more and more track days with my G82 lately, and one of the biggest challenges I ran into was brake temperature. Even with upgraded pads and fluid, the temps were creeping up after a few hot laps.
So I started experimenting with a GT4-style dual inlet cooling setup — trying to bring some of that race-car airflow logic into a street car. The goal was just to keep the brakes consistent through a longer session without going into fade.
After a few design iterations and some track testing, it’s been working surprisingly well. I ran smoke tests to visualize airflow and could clearly see how the ducts feed directly toward the rotor hub.
Here are some shots from the current setup
Still a work in progress, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.
Curious if anyone else here has tried custom cooling solutions like this? Would love to see how others tackled it.
