Ivo do you have thermal sleeves on your heat exchanger hoses to reduce the water temp from radiant heat in the engine bay

Can you see any difference with it? I've vented my hood and have the car in for meth injection but this seem like a cheap option if it helps.

Very cheap

I have no more power registered!
But the feeling that I have the hoses isolated,
brings estimated 10% more power ...
It costs about $ 10

Actually I would also isolate the charge air pipe!
But it's much too beautiful!

I'm hoping the meth injection and vents will keep mine cool.

It is still quite cool here. In a few weeks it temps will stay in the mid 20sC (mid 70'sF) It did get to 27F the other day and no issues.
Yes, the car is still wrapped in Military Matte Green and factory bumper!

I am waiting for the date for the UPRev optimization ...
My tuner is always fully booked!
In about 3-4 weeks, it should be ready

Still the original for 3 years ...

From time to time I have slippering.
As soon as the clutch is broken, I'm going to organize a new ..
Probably a Exedy Hyper Carbon D-Twin

I intend to follow your method of installing the heat exchanger , do you need to modify the front facial ?

I did on my Nismo, but not sure about other bumpers. I also didn't cut the crash bar. I'd assume if you notched out the crash bar to recess the heat exchanger there'd be no need to notch the bumper.

Hey Guys

I have the crash bar rotated 180 degrees around the towing suspension
not to damage.



The front facial had to grind a little on the grids.
I'll post photos as soon as I have the newly painted front facial back.

Stay tuned

Ivo

BTW: i hope you unserstand my bad english
