Bodykit and helping cool my radiator.

[Malero5]

Ok,I have a huge FMIC and currntly it is taking the air away from my radiator. I have a 180 thermostat, koyo radiator, new cap, blah blah blah. I was wondering if I purchased a drift bodykit (im repainting my car within the month and I hate the look of cut bumpers) would it help airflow to the radiator. Once I have the new bumper on I would seal the bottom of the radiator/bumper/intercooler area so that no air escapes out the bottom. I can run in 100 degree weather for about an hour and a half (or 45 mins in stop and go traffic)before it gets to about 210-215. So I just need a little extra push through summer.

TYIA.

Also are there anymore 1g bumpers for a 1990 that arent so ricey/over the top that will increase flow?

I have heard of people actually creating scoops out of metal (stolen road sign to be exact) bending it and bolting to the bottom of the car to help pull air up thru the radiator.....this might be an option for you

ive also seen sheet metal cooling ducts if you dont like the look of a kit maybe a more powerful electric fan wold be a better option and the drift kit is the least ricer kit ive seen

im going to make a sheet metal lip kit for my 1g to pull air in under the front mount ic up to the radiator, but i dont have a front mount yet so im not worried about it. I also cut out the holes between the head lights to throw my air to the radiator, and im sure that will go over the ics head .
