Inventory is such a huge issue right now. It's starting to affect my ability to sell work. People here 90-120 days to get parts and they just decide they don't care that much.

100%, I lose a lot of sales when I don't have parts in stock. People have time to change their mind and spend their money on other parts.

Same here. Rotors are a mess, batteries have been bad, I waited 2 months for NGK plugs, oil filter shortages. I had some goon tell me people are using supply shortages as an excuse not to work lol

@ayoustin you have any toyota COP harnesses made?

I'm practically crying at how hard it is to build product inventory right now. Trying to reach out to a few new machine shops to have plan BCDE in place because this is getting ridiculous.

@Kevin. Sorry, no I don't. I simply don't have the time to do harness assembly at the moment. I still have plates and hardware in stock if you feel up to building your own harness.

@kyoo Did you post photos of your brake ducting anywhere?

no but i've got a few here. just the standard binary engineering ducts and the 2" hoses literally just zip-tied to the front bumper. It took some finagling to route them in a way that wouldn't interfere with anything, extended or contracted. i think used ~4' on the pass side and 4.5' on the driver's side to start, and trimmed a few inches off for fitment. excuse the mess..

Thanks for the photos.

Are you watching oil temperatures? There's an old post where someone routed their brake ducts like that and saw a spike in oil temperatures: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ml#post9616449

I had that issue too. I still am grabbing area from that duct area, but I'm not grabbing it from the main portion of the oil cooler duct any more.

i was a little worried but didn't notice anything. 2" is much smaller than 3" as far as area and i have an upgraded oil cooler. i also don't use induction ducts just straight hose connected to bumper. tried to keep it as much out of the way as possible

Kyoo, You should route another piece of the hose up to the oil cooler then blank off the rest of the mesh area. The brake duct tubing will be a higher pressure zone so most of the airflow will be going around the inlet of the tube rather than down it. Youll find it will be 100x more effective once uve blanked off the rest of the inlet area there.

On the non oil cooler side its easy just blank the whole lot off. on the oil cooler side if you just run a bit of tubing through down to 6 inches or so off your oil cooler should be enough to keep the air flowing nicely through the cooler provided u blank the rest off nicely.

Youll also get a small increase in aerodynamics too (probably unnoticeable lol)

It seems like you can get more air scooping from the bottom. maybe using these inlets

I'll try to see if i can put mudflaps on the CA and get more air to go thru the wheels

Haven't I seen NACA ducts on splitters with a hose attachment?
