BMW G80 M3/G82 M4 Verus Engineering Carbon Hood Louver Kit (A0619A)

Modern turbocharged performance vehicles are able to push the envelope harder than ever before! The one thing that can slow them down is heat. The Verus Engineering Carbon Hood Louver Kit for G80/G82 BMW M3/M4 helps reduce engine bay heat and pressure. The louver improves cooling stack efficiency, under-hood 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* under-hood structure as well as in an area of low pressure for maximum evacuation. The Hood Louvers are also designed to enhance the function of the factory grilles, making them ideal for anyone looking to add a more aggressive finish to their G-Series M3/M4 that keeps things cool, mile after mile. 

Through CFD and on-track data, we found the louvers to work very well on the car, dramatically reducing under-hood temperatures and improving aero balance. These are a must-have product for anyone looking to separate their G-Series M3/M4 from the crowd in form and function.

Science:
Utilizing modern CFD, we located a hood position of low pressure to maximize under-hood evacuation and a louver design that encourages evacuation as well.  Relieving this under-hood 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 under-hood temperatures on track.

When it comes to performance car parts, Verus Engineering stands out as a top choice due to our relentless dedication to quality, innovation, and performance enhancement. Our comprehensive approach to design, rigorous testing, and meticulous manufacturing process ensures that every performance part remains to the highest standard. We start with designs using state-of-the-art methods that are validated and tested under the most rigorous track conditions to guarantee durability and longevity. 

When purchasing from Verus, you're not just buying a car part but investing in a meticulously designed product crafted to elevate your vehicle's performance to the next level.



Our Tools Of The Trade

 


 

We can provide the best aftermarket car parts because we understand your vehicle's systems and what impacts performance. We are well-versed in:

? Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)

? Finite element analysis (FEA)

? Heat transfer

? Thermodynamics

By understanding these principles, we can create aftermarket parts that outperform factory components and the competition. We get exceptional results by using the following tools of the trade:



Computer-Aided Design (CAD)

We can bring nearly anything to life thanks to our expertise in various design techniques. This

includes sheet metal, simple 3D designs, and surfacing techniques. We can then apply our designs using a variety of manufacturing methods such as:

?  Sheet metal components

?  Machined components

?  Plastic-injected components

?  Plastic blow-molded parts

?  Vacuum Formed Components

?  Cast components (various materials)

?  Forged components

?  Composites

?  And More



Reverse Engineering

We utilize reverse engineering daily to create our own components and those requested by

customers. Verus can help you design, improve, and manufacture any idea or component you

have in mind. We have extensive experience in all vehicle systems and craft components used

in:

? Engines

? Heat exchanging

? Suspensions

? Drivelines

? Aerodynamics

We can help with nearly any project!


Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

CFD is our forte and a useful processing technique for any situation where a fluid (air, water, oil,

coolant) is flowing. We can test both internal and external flow and various fluids. For internal

applications, this can help us increase heat rejection and decrease pressure drop in heat

exchange applications. CFD can also be used to find possible bottlenecks and aid in the design

of manifolds. Externally, we can predict how components impact a vehicle's lift (downforce),

drag, and aerodynamic balance.



Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

FEA allows us to test complex shapes and loads on components that would otherwise be very

difficult to estimate through hand calculations. Components can be made lighter and stronger

through multiple design iterations than their OEM counterparts. This process is a potent and

helpful tool when in the right hands. We have significant experience using FEA to improve

suspension components and aerodynamic, load-carrying components, but this can be expanded

to other projects.



3D Scanning

A highly accurate 3D scanner improves reverse engineering and design engineering

capabilities. We can easily scan most objects, which greatly helps the engineering process. In

addition, the portability of hand-held scanners allows us to scan items both large and small all

over the country depending on the project at hand.
