Ok I am going to get another bumper this winter and try over. But in the meantime how do I finish this fucking thing?
I painted the IC because it looked stupid behind the mesh. I also painted the SS bolts FB.
Here are the current pictures.

Damn that mesh is going to block a shit ton of air.

I bolted it in there for this reason. So when I am at the track/dyno/racing I can pull it off. This is for the rocks/wood chips/squirrels that might want to enter my IC
-
Ahhh, tis ok then.

I like this one the best if you hit it another time with the paint and make it extra dark.. Are you using Radiator paint? The high temp shit es no bueno.
-
just a regular can of flat black
-
The grill on the 2 outside hole dosent look bad but when it covers the IC it looks pretty bad. I think your bumpers more fucked then mine Good work :noel:
-
Jesus Christ youre fucking difficult... and dumb
It looks like shit (Due to the hack of a hole you have cut in it)
Looks WORSE with the fucking mesh.... ANYWHERE
Looks stupid with the tanks only painted black
Looks better black but the superhole fucks it all up.
GO BUY ANOTHER BUMBER AND TRY TO BE LESS OF A FUCKING FAILURE.

Oh wait this is your everyday bumper? I thought this was a track only car :?: For a everyday one, you are going to get owned and it does look like shit. Save it for the track day, and don't use the mesh
-
you really fucked that bumper it
-
You fucked that bumper. Get another and dont cut soo much and have the cooler all black :noel:
-
I made him paint it black today it is a improvement still kinda :-\ Also made him fix some wiring as that shit was hurtin.Cheap fuck wont buy a bumper :P

as stated
Lick my corn hole. more important than ascetics is the car running.
I am not buying another bumper right now.
-
I like the IC painted black, black out the rest of the mesh too.
-
Sheetmetal and Black Mesh. Make it look like a latemodel dirt car ;D
Or do a cardbard bodykit, like the mustang in a video a little while back, think it was on OHMT :D
-
what BDVT said. You really fucked that thing up dude. Do you really need an intercooler the size of your windshield?

If your too poor to buy a bumper, go visit midnight auto. Or there has to be someone here that would donate one. Even just a black bumper would look better.

I have a coupe bumper and be getting a sedan bumper I can bring one of these (both of these are unpainted) when I go to Lynnwood Wa. for the D-Day BBQ. It might be a little crowed in my hatch if I bring 2 passengers and a bumper. ;D
-
Deffinitly a new bumper, fucking A. the mesh is aweful the bumper looks like it got raped by an elephant
-
window screen
behind 1/4" spaced aluminum or plastic slats like a window blind
stops rocks, doesn't stop air. big shit gets stopped by slats, and the slats provide an excellent airfoil to channel air IN the interfooler NOT roughly in the general area. think of a furnace grate
No, that's all wrong.
That bumper is terrible. Like most, you don't understand what you're doing, or how changing the front end is really affecting airflow. More frontal area doesnt' mean more flow. Bernoulli's equation might interest you. I'll give you a hint- You only need an opening that's 40-50% of the surface area of your heat exchangers. More is worse, not better.
-
fiberglass it to make some sort of shape on it
-
not big enough

my buddy is parting an SI coupe right now.

why all the hate for the bumper?
does it still have the lip? I will buy you OC

naw. The more rural you get, the less the RCMP seem to give a shit.

rcmp dont really hassel me. I got pulled over doing a pull down central 1-2-3 going for 4th and he pulls up behind me. I get pulled over and he wanted to know how I got driving so fast. I told him I did a motor swap and he wanted to see it. I popped my hood and he was amazed of this feat.
Mind you he came up to me and was like WHAT THE FUCK. YOU BLEW PAST ME DOING MACH CHICKEN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING.
fun times, another time neither me or my car was in town and then a cop came on the local forum and was like SLOW THE FUCK DOWN PURPLE HONDA I SAW YOU RIPPING AROUND TOWN BLAH BLAH BLAH. And I was like no you are a retard, my mom had my car with me in Kamloops......... he shut up quickly.
Cliff Notes: Canadian cops dont bother me because my people and I are from the woods.

To sum it up, that screen mesh shit looks like a wall to air when you're going 60 mph. It hits it, builds up, and goes around. Very little will go through it. And the goal isn't to see how much air you can make flow around the heat exchangers, or how much air you can make blow around in the engine bay. You want to direct air through the heat exchangers, and duct things in such a way as to maximize the pressure differential across the heat exchangers as they are convectors. No pressure difference, no flow, no significant heat rejection. Bernoulli's equation says that if,you take air that has some velocity and SLOWLY and SMOOTHLY allow it to slow down and expand, it will compress.
