A little clearer.
It's a carbon fiber "chimney" that vents air from the intercooler without mixing it with engine heat.
I Guess:D

I'm not talking about the intercooler ducting.
What are those CF junction boxes bolted to the intake manifold?
By the way this is a pic of the 04 WRC that will debut in Mexico.

looks like the electronics for the motor, ignition coils etc.

Pneumatics possibly?

Its the front circuitbreaker for the electronics drive hub of the car.

Whats the difference between the 04(Mexico) and the 03WRC? I didnt see anything about it in RallyXS and they usually put that stuff in.

right...
there are fans down there that move the heat
from the radiator... up that scoop...
and out the reverse hood scoop you see on the WRC hood.

Mexico is where Subaru is unveiling their new WRC engine for this season. It's pretty typical for a company to do their unveiling midseason.

since it is the Corona sponsored race they should have a race after the WRC race with a bunch of old pos beetles with limiters that don't let them go above 30mph and do it like the tricycle race in revenge of the nerds where they have to slam a corona every lap.

The radiator is angled downward below the intercooler, contained within the shroud are fans and the shroud is primarily a duct for the Radiator and not the intercooler. Search the classifieds for "rarest stuff ever for sale on Nasioc" and you will be able to look at it from a different angle out of the car since we had one a couple weeks ago and took a picture from the rear you can see how everything is set up.
For those interested in how much it costs a S7 or S8 spec (you can only buy older spec not latest Gen spec from Prodrive) they arun complete 13500 for new and used 10-12000

All that CF, and it's held together by duct tape! That stuff is priceless.
| Chromer | 02-25-2004 03:55 PM |
A couple observation/questions:
Do stock STi's have "ribbed" strut towers or did they weld on new towers?
Are those carbon-fibre wiper blades, or just carbon-look?
All that carbon fibre and it's held together with duct-tape... and pop-rivets! (lower-right corner of deflector)
Big black box on firewall: Master cylinder? If not, where is it?

If you look at those CF boxes close, you'll see words on them as to what sensors those are plugged into them. Basically, I believe it's a central quick-connect box for all the sensor so that it makes replacement and tracking of wires extremely simple. Why put a 1 piece harness in when you need to only replace one section of wire?
The duct tape is for sealing purposes only, I assure you.
Pop rivets are simple and secure, no reason to overcomplicate things.
Those strut towers and supports are new and welded on (I presume) at Prodrive to strengthen the chassis and be able to withstand decent impacts/jumps.

If you have a sharp monitor you can read the text on the wiper blades. They are the cheeze PIAA blades that NOPI sells by the millions.
That black firewall box is surely a place for the engine to puke oil foam and blowby crud out of the heads and case.
If I was building a high end race car I'd use something like the Tilton remote reservoir clutch and brake cylinders and mount them under the dash. This would keep all the lines and reservoirs safe from impact damage and relatively cool. Of course Tilton is far too pedestrian for the rarified heights of WRC :D Any bets on what's really under the dash?

The front of the CF duct contains the Intercooler but why have a duct that exits out the hood? Is it really to prevent heat soak between the engine and the IC? doesn't seem like that would do anything becuase the car is moving forward with air rushing in.
Looks like they completely enclose the engine from the environment by using that CF duct. Maybe its prevent dirt, water etc out of the engine compartment and electronics while rallying.
Anyways thats an interesting design and i'm wondering why people don't use a duct like this in their cars if its more efficent in cooling the intake charge or radiator.

the duct as I stated above is for removing hot air from the radiator, the master cylinders are inboard on the car as the car uses an Alcon pedal box. The strut caps and rear cage triangulations are really special

notice how the transmission tunnel is totally different. IF you look at the rear cage you can see where the rear diagonals going to the floor they go to the front of the diff cradle
| CMJ | 02-26-2004 03:30 PM |
Chaste- Look closer the new set up is completely different. The intercooler has its own ducting and the air is directed out the hood, the radiator heat is now ducted out under the car. I'll try to find more pics showing this.
| Chaste Automotive | 02-26-2004 06:03 PM |
yeah I see what you are talking about but the separate ducting is only for the inlet and not for the outlet I saw this car a month ago when I was there. THe intercooler was redesigned this year, the one we had is the older S7-9 spec. There is also a new Carbon pedal box that is super trick.
| Korvint | 02-27-2004 05:25 AM |
I'm no expert but the intercooler is up on top and looks like it vents though the CF duct to the hood. Not sure if the radiator is also in the duct.....

Just like the touring cars , the rad vents out the sides of the front bumper. The intercooler lies flat (like the Focus) . I noticed they have more space to run a larger intercooler as well keeping the weight low. Aerodynamics and weight distribution is a big thing in WRC lately. These guys are just finding ways to go faster.

How about a data acquisition system?
Or maybe its a willy wiggly sprinkler toy? :confused:
