Fujimura front bumper coming

OptionZero · 03-19-2019, 10:53 AM

It works because its not too crazy, and it seems to be pretty functional with large openings for air flow

the problem with the stock Z bumper is the nose ends abruptly, giving the front a stubby look

the nismo versions and many aftermarket ones extend the nose. it just creates a cleaner flow. some are longer than others, your taste may vary

i wish there were better sides and rear to go with the fuji

I'm yet to see anyone comment on temp reductions after installing this bumper. Also nobody seems to be using the side vents yet to do anything other than cool their washer bottle.

I have a plan to install the AEM CAI with extra large filter pods so that it sits right in those vents.

Pics of black Fuji/Raptor. Vents used for CAI.

Nice find!!! That must be the AEM kit right? Has to be. Lines up beautifully with the intake like it was made to be there.

I might even chop the intake tube back a little so I can get a big red pod in there.

It is.

one thing to note is that with the fuji bumper your factory tow hook location is no longer accessible, unless you cut the bumper

OptionZero · 03-20-2019, 12:24 PM

slightly off topic -
Wasn't there some discussion that you don't want the vent directly in front of the intake, because that actually hurts its ability to draw air due to turbulance or whatever?

It was during a discussion of cutting a vent into the bumper, but i can't recall

Was this the result of some actual testing (with data) or just speculation?

Correct. The only time a ram air effect would be of any use starts well past speeds and power our cars are capable of. If a car is sucking in gallons of air at 200mph, sure.

All exposed filters would do is lead to dirty filters.

how much does this bumper cost?

I don't think anybody was talking about a ram air effect, just a good source of cold air. I have seen a few tests of CAI's on dyno's where the results were improved with the bumper removed.

Dirt getting on the filters however is definitely going to be a big issue, but at least I can get the filter out through the wheel well. I could even put a dust filter behind the grill, or even a rain sock over the filter like what they use on motorbikes.

Those vents are just crying out to be used. Perhaps I'll run a pipe to the brake rotors instead.

I was going to look into 3d printing ducts for brake cooling myself.

Here is some shots of the fitment straight out of the box. I dont think aftermarket gets any better than this.

Oh wow, you could pretty much just take it to get it painted as-is.
