Full of cold air!

Here is my Nismo version with additional ventilation for the radiator.

Bringing this one back haha.

Anyone have any more input with regard to bumpers that flow well?

Doing what I did originally with the cutting out of the center on my black Z wouldn't look as good on my current Z. Additionally, I would love to pick up a V1 Nismo front bumper, but cooler air flow is also very important to me.

I recently started thinking about an intercooler sprayer. I already have the V1 Nismo bumper that as you know, can house a gigantic air filter. I have a ~25 yr old Aquamist water injection kit on my MR2 that sprayed into the intake right after the turbo. It's not being used so I might be able to repurpose it. But, there is some good info on DIY kits using an espresso water pump (very high psi). Worth a look I think. SOHO mentioned my IAT's got a bit high, so this seems like a reasonable next step for me.

I really like some of the vents on the V1 bumpers, but they probably aren't doing the aero any favors.

Bringing it back again.

I'm looking at doing the V1 Nismo bumper conversion since it is better made for directing airflow where it needs to go.

Does anyone have any opinions on getting air to the unexposed half of the intercooler?

Thanks Senna for the cooling idea! I do have the a2w stuff still laying around, so I could probably fashion some sort of spraying of misting system.

Bigger intercooler, precooler pipes, water-meth injection, hood vents, custom front bumper/vents/air ducts, or do them all.

Proper ducting. Box the intercooler in and get a vented hood.

Kudos to Hotrodz he has the best set up I have seen. Just about any hood vent set up will help tremendously to those how need the extra cooling ability.

Hey! I am in the same boat as you with the bumper restricting the IC airflow.
What did you end up doing? I am willing to cut the matte plastic part out from my bumper but I have the 40th Av paint so Im very hesitant..Thanks guys!

I did cut the matte black area on my Black 370, but I haven't done anything yet for my current 370. I'm most likely going to get the V1 bumper and do something along the lines of what Hotrodz did. Also exploring the option of getting a bigger intercooler to also support future mods.
