1fast97gsx,

Yeah thanks for the compliment, I worked hard to keep my setup looking clean
and simple. Chicago winters and salted roads are a bi*** on the engine compartment :(

The 2 black cutouts are actually cold air duct holes for the radiator. They cut
thru the bumper cover, styrofoam, and then the bumper itself. As the pictures
show, I fabbed up an aluminum/plastic ductwork to completely force all incoming
airflow into and thru the radiator. I think the dimensions are 2"x9" for each cutout. I left some material in the center to shore up my bumper reinforcement
and support the bumper cover itself. I then used a little textured rubber edging to cover up the cutout edges. I thought it would turn out like hell but it came out
looking alright and coolant temps are kept low.

Yeah, I've seen a few modified DSM's on the street near Orland Park with FMIC's but never a race. What does your car look like? I'm heading out to Route 66 Raceway in Joliet on September 14 for a test and tune, hope to see a few Chicagoland DSMr's there.

98spydert,

Hehehe, actually my turbo is a small T28 :thumb: Pretty stealthy and with HKS 264/264 cams, FMIC, cold air induction and 24 psi (100 octane) is amazingly quick for a turbo its size. I think its all in the supporting mods. I just took a few closeup snapshots of the I.C./Radiator ducting, just for you man :thumb:

Looks sweet, I'm gonna steal that idea from you when I install my FMIC. I'm scuured of overheating problems so I'll do anything I can to get some cool air directly to the radiator. Have you though of adding some trim to direct the air straight over the IC? Or is that overkill? Thanks for the pics!! :thumb:
