The only available full setup that I know of is from Colletti Motorsports:

I actually have it but haven't installed it yet. I suffer from brake fluid boiling when on the track and went all out to solve this issue. This kit could be easily emulated by getting the naca or similar ducts and high temp hoses from places like Pegasus and or IO Port racing supplies.



The quality is comparable to what you could source and build. It is very light weight and totally collapsable o as to not damage the radiator or anything in the event of collision.
I just never seem to haven enough time to sort these projects out and wanted something more or less bolt up and already to go. This kit is that but if cost is an issue or you are DIY oriented then buildingit is just as well an option.
Good luck.

Did you change to aftermarket brake fluid such as ATE or Endless brake fluid? Looks like a great kit.

Yep, don't waste time trying to solve my problems. The faster I drive the more abusive I am on them. I boiled ATE Type2 and Superblue. I've run several different R compound pads and several different rotors and even replaced the MC just to find out that it wasn't the culprit.
Cooling it all off is the biggest issue. Removing the dust shields, adding ducting and running Motul RBF 600 is where I am now.
If that doesn't work, I'm just gonna stop using the brakes altogether and just learn to scrub speed in the grass and sandbox.

Was just checking out some brake parts on the Cobalt site.
Damn, its not easy setting a stock car up for a track day (the way I used to like mine). hehe

could you run A/C with it?</TD></TR></TABLE>
Dunno for certain, I kinda hoped it would be just a bolt up affair but, guessed there might be just a bit of fabbing. I'll post results in a few weeks when it's installed.

blasphemous

There are several people in the RR/AC forum lately selling attachments that bolt to the knuckle and direct air towards the rotor. You would need to put together the rest of the "kit" yourself though.

This is what I learned and was told was initially more effective.
Cooling the rotor, is from what I understand misinformation for our cars and applications.
Not that you can't or shouldn't do it but, dealing with boilling fluid as I am, I was nudged in the direction to cool the caliper First! Then if need be cool the rotor. But I was led to believe that cooling the rotor first is Not the way to do it.
What do I know though, Andie (Cobalt) and Colletti are who I gathered my information from for my specific issue and or cure/cures for such.
Again, the car isn't together yet and not track tested yet. The soonest it will be running with the new gear will be a shakedown at a nasa-x on the 14th and then possibly Limerock on the 25th and most definitely again at Limerock on the 9th of April. My big test will be at Watkin's Glen, but for me thats more than a few months away.

Cool the rotor, more specifically you want to direct air to the center of the rotor, where the air can be pulled through the center of the rotor (vents). Rotor = heat sink.
Directing air to the calipers will not solve your fluid boiling problem... I am not having any fluid boiling issues, but i did crack a rotor last weekend after only 5 track days and ~1000 street miles.
