Upper Bumper Cooling vents(2G)

[2GturboTALON]

I know there are a few members on here who have vents and unique cutouts in the area i have marked in the picture bu ti can not find them on here. I am only looking for 2g's.

trying to go for the whole EVO 8 nose kinda thing? Looks good though, in a spartan kinda way

Why do you need more holes?

Why do you need more holes?

sometimes the FMIC will block too much air flow to the radiator so people add a couple holes to add some air flow back

 

[gsx4g64]

Why do you need more holes?

black gst is correct. he the only thing that he didnt mention, is that it is very important to have radiator fan that has the correct cfm for your application.

But, venting the bumper does help a great deal. Venting the bumper, with venting the hood, keeps the engine bay cooler.

Looks Fugly as hell IMO...

But if it works, it works

I agree that it looks terrible. Function over form i guess? did anyone else notice the silver talon in the pics has a nasty camber problem?

Function > *

Camber problem, or camber set for a purpose? His rears look to be around 0* leading me to believe it was set that way up front.

is it just me or is the hole off center in the grey talons bumper? i wouldnt do it to my car

 

[AK Maniak]

I guess if your temps are really that high, but it just looks so bad

 

[2GturboTALON]

There is a member on here who has just one vent on the right hand side. It is a black 2G. I can not remember the user name though.

Think i may have found what i was looking for.
One was from STM and the other was from MURF_DIRTY. Its a titek air duct.

Maybe something like this?

 

[red_devil]

I think it would look better if it was cut all the way up to the hood line. It would look simular to a late 90s mustang. Only problem would be how to mount it strongly.

 

[2GturboTALON]

I kind of like it. Almost reminds me of a skyline.

This is what i came up with dual intake ducts. I found a place with these for 40 bucks so i may go this route.

That one actually looks good and is probably more functional than the previous ones posted

That way will require quite a bit more work also to look like that.

Thats true but I think it would be well worth it. Thats an evo swapped rs by the way

 

[AK Maniak]

I'm sure its quite a bit more time consuming but i'd rather do it like that then do soemthing quickly and have it turn out like shit

Those are good, but how would they look on a 2gb Talon bumper? I think those cuts look better on Eclipses or 2ga Talon, where the bumper is more round, than tapered.

 

[mannyssj13]

I want to do this to my car but I would like sumthing that looks nice! I got a FMIC n on the highway car starts to over get at high speeds then when I slow down to street speeds the temp goes to normal!

 

[2GturboTALON]

Yeah, I think i may have talked myself into the ducts.


The only other idea i can come up with is maybe seeing if i can fab up a Honda Accord Grill ( if it will fit )

that red one does look good..

 

[2GturboTALON]

It appears Accord grills are too long. (28-29 in) I just measured my bumper and have around 17in x 5in i can use.

I am starting to think 240 Upper grills may work.

Can anyone think of cars that have small upper bumper grills ?
