OVERVIEW
The Verus Engineering Hood Louver Kit for the Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ helps reduce engine bay heat and pressure. The louver improves cooling stack efficiency, underhood component longevity, and adds a bump in the front end downforce by alleviating air pressure in the engine bay.
Using scan data, we developed the hood louver to have an OEM type fit and finish to the hood’s contour. We took special care to ensure the louver was placed in an area that removed minimal underhood structure as well as in an area of low pressure for maximum evacuation.
Through CFD and on track data, we found the louvers to work very well on the car, dramatically reducing underhood temperatures.

SCIENCE
Camber is the angle at which the wheel and tire are positioned in comparison to the road assuming the road flat. While one might believe that the wheel is perfectly perpendicular to the road, it is often intentionally tilted to counteract the forces put on it by cornering. Negative camber is generally desired in track cars. Negative camber helps counteract the tendency of the tire to roll on its outer edge during cornering. In turn, this keeps as much tire on the road as possible while cornering and allowing for more grip and higher cornering speeds.
