Racer Special

Everything we make is special — sometimes we just make too many, and sometimes a piece leaves the shop with finishing tolerances just outside our usual high standards. Racer Special products are a perfect way to upgrade your ride and save at the same time. Because each one is unique, the cosmetic blemishes differ from unit to unit, and all Racer Special items are sold as final sale and are not covered by our warranty. Every one still carries the same design excellence and on-track performance Verus Engineering is known for. Check out this video to see exactly what you can expect from Racer Special goods.

OVERVIEW

*The pictures provided above are not the blemished product. Blemish products have small defects in the surface finish or logo but are structurally sound.*

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.

  • Dramatically Reduce Underhood Temperature and Pressure

Science:

Utilizing CFD, we located a hood position of low pressure, to maximize underhood evacuation and a louver design that encourages evacuation as well.  Relieving this underhood pressure increases front-end downforce; as the pressure pushing up on the hood is no longer present.  Evacuating this hot engine bay airflow also improves cooling stack efficiency and can increase part longevity for components that are heat sensitive.  Adding the louver is a great way to increase front-end grip and reduce underhood temperatures on and off track.


What to expect from blemished items:

All items listed as 'blemished' items under the 'Racer Special' category are items that are cosmetically flawed but still function as intended and are structurally sound.
