Wow! Just wow! I hope this wing isn’t going to see any track time. If so, that’s quite the dangerous piece you’ve built there. No doubt that the element will make downforce, the most alarming thing I see is your wing to stanchion mounts will fail first. Waaay too thin. Second, fixing the side to side “wobble” with wire will defeat the purpose of the wing element as the downforce action actually comes from compressing the airflow UNDERNEATH the airfoil. The wires will only introduce turbulence to the money side of the element. Also, aircraft spruce doesn’t advertise it but they can cut you a foam core in the length you are looking for for cheap. Eureka aircraft also cuts foam cores. Many hobby aircraft places that deal with competition model aircraft can cut you foam cores. I’m just speaking from experience. I’ve built several wings. There’s a reason people use 6061 aluminum for stanchions and wing mounts. You look kind of you so you may not remember the Subaru WRX that had catastrophic wing failure because he decided to raise the Stanchions on an APR GTC300 wing. Engineers got involved and found the cause of the problem. I wish you the best and hope you keep that wing for street use because you will learn quickly that carbon is strong until it isn’t. Carbon failure is catastrophic
@slightedengineering20 күн бұрын
There is no need to worry. The whole car is going to be tested in a semi controlled environment before it gets on track. While I agree with the fact that the underside of the wing generates the downforce, it's not because air is compressing at all. Rather accelerating, creating a pressure differential from the top side to underside, creating am overall downward force. Adding more support will have an efficiency loss, but I'd rather have an efficiency loss than a shaky wing. Regarding other failures, if it fails, I'll learn from it and move on. Just because someone somewhere does something doesn't make it gospel. If I did only what the internet told me, I wouldn't have a car at all, most likely.

That wing is definitely creating lift i would angle it forward more
@slightedengineering23 күн бұрын
I can assure you with 100% certainty that it is not creating any lift at its current angle of attack.
@Capricegirl_23 күн бұрын
Imagine the air forcing it around, shouldn't move, it would probably break. I think either adding more dimension and structure to the supports or add tension cables, they wouldn't be unsightly.

Thank you so much for sharing these... im wanting to boost my 03 tb but the stock mgmt is just so limited which leaves me swapping to an 06 pcm, or ecumaster After seeing this short segment (and your other video) i see its possible to run it, but i must ask... do you think it is possible to run the ecu master piggy back with the stock pcm? As in, i'd still have my gauges, starter functionality, etc But the ecumaster manages the motor
@slightedengineeringАй бұрын
I honestly have no idea what the capabilities are of the piggy back system. If you want to keep all the gauges working you could probably run extra signal wires for what you need. Mainly whatever the stock cluster uses for RPM. MPH should come from the transmission VSS.
