too cut the bumper or not..... Hmmmm I just wanta stay classy San Diego... Lol
build:
6265 t4, old ass South Florida Performance mini ram manifold.
lsvtec forged Internals yada yada
tuned with s300
running big boy plate and bar FMIC the 3inch core 30x24ish(I think) and 2inch aluminum civic radiator pusher fan. made panel to block air on driver side (like oem plastic one)
Street tuned a base to break in motor. tuned with no bumper (wasn't thinking). put bumper on it gets hotter than I like.
theory :
bumper caused airflow restrictions. causing my Intake air temps to go up.. And coolent temps to go up, both which make Ecu to retard timming causing egt to rise causing the engine to get hot and stay hot..
I know what I'm doing (not a newb) no air in system, head lift, thermostat, blah blah blah... Lol.
issues-
1) engine temps on Highway are 215ish...
2)just header Wraped mainfold and downpipe
3)was going to. make more ducting for radiator to direct air threw rad.
4) really don't want to cut for security reasons
5)no nice way to cut bumper and make it look "stock cut" imo
