I just found out that it is being sold by TRT Turbo. It's called the E-1.

 

i like it. nice job.

 

Andros, did to have any issues from removing the molded foam support?

 

TRT makes a similar one to this, give em a call really good people.If ya dont know who they are just google TRT.
I was wondering about doing this to my camaro when I get back, making a true ram air if you will. I would think that by piping air from the two openings behind the stock grill(on either side of where camaro is molded into the body) maerging them into one pipe and then straight into the MAF you would get a pretty hellacious ram air effect.

 

I said that 2 posts up. There's only one like this.



I think I have pics of that. Let me look for them.

 

Isn't there a brace that runs across the front and ties the two frame rails together up their? Did you remove it, or is it just not visable through the hole? I want to do this on my camaro, but I thought it would look stupid if you could see the crossmember. I have seen other pics and you can't see it, but is it removed, cut, or the angle I am looking at in my car?

 

The brace is the actual bumper. It's held on with 6 bolts. Usually it is removed so the air can flow.

 

saving this

 

Does that compromise the strength & rigidity of the car (excluding a front impact) I mean flexing when cornering and such?

 

Here's a link:

About 6 other links are no good anymore.

I'll post a lot of the pics, though. I have them all saved.

 

I doubt it. If you look at my pics here, you can see the upper and lower radiator support. They keep things pretty stiff.

That's a sample of the best pics, but I have a lot more.

I just got word from Christian that his E-1 bumper will support its own weight just fine. Most of the racecars use a metal support to help hold up the stock urethane bumper cover. I'm not are sure what Andros used to support his. Maybe nothing?

 

Great Info, Thanks a lot! I will be revisiting this mod, I had ruled it out already! I already have most of the bodywork off the front end right now, and I was looking at that area last night! This thread came back to life at the perfect time!

 

Heres some pics that are close:

 

An excellent place to look is for cars with FMIC's. Front Mount Intercoolers. Pretty much all these cars have the fronts opened up in some ingenous way along with photos so you can see how everything mounts.

It may sound cheesy, but I want to mount my AC condenser and radiator behind the nose to get it out of the way. I think it would look pretty slick to have them mounted upright so if I get the E-1 front end (like the black car with the intercooler) there will be something there to fill in the big holes. Otherwise I'd have to mount some grill material there.

 

Here's some more cars.

 

some pretty interesting ways to cut the front bumper. i might wanna do that sometime too...

 

I agree with ^^^^ 100%
