Cowl Hood

I did some bumper work tonight to improve airflow.

This 1st 2 pics show the reason I can't fit in a larger radiator with more frontal area





So I cut a hole in the bumper support to get more air in

Nice job Matt , that has got to help .

If that don't work, just get a really big radiator and mount it in place of the hood! That would be a first!

matt i think what is happening to you is normal man.. i went down to white plains today to pick up my brother from the air port. crusin at about 80-115 mph my temp would stay in the middle then creep up to about 3/4 then go back down. thats with the huge 924 radiator too so idk man!

So are you running water wetter? Second what is you coolant to water mix? what is you thermostat rating?

I cant get my car to run over 140 its kinda sad at night you freeze!

Thanks :wink:

water, water wetter and about 10% or less antifreeze. The thermostat is a 192° failsafe.

My BP car runs cold with the single core festiva radiator. On the highway the needle is half that of the BPT and the fan only comes on after sitting for a long time then cycles off after 30-60 seconds or so.

I need more frontal area, bottom line.

The vent I put thru the bumper has helped. The best mod so far.
