Tsunamy bumper bull s**t

I Just want to say to everyone :
DO NOT EVER BUY THIS BUMPER !
I did, and it is not at all good quality !

It do not fit at all !!!
And we can not adjust it because it is plastic bumper, and the only way to adjust it may be to cut it at the middle, to extract a part of it, and to fix it this way !

WHY ? BECAUSE IT IS LARGER THAN THE CAR !!!

I m not the first one in the forum having issue with it !

What a big disapointment !
Have to order a new one in a hurry as myt car is at the paint job waiting for a bumper to be done :'(

yeah there is a local guy around here that claims his is a perfect fit but once I saw it in person, there was a huge pinch and sag in the middle of the bumper,,,
Ohhh well, what bumper are you looking for now,,,

what i have found is a combo of the 09 trans and our powerband + oem rear is just the ticket i have been looking for.
3-4-5th gear are now very ,very good and very close in ratio. Yet 6th gear is a true overdrive allowing me to only turn 3.2K rpm at 65mph
hope that helps.
ps we dont need more power to get out of the corner when we cant do it under full throttle now?

I've been off the forum for a while, so I am assuming you have successfully installed the '09 tranny?? If so, how do you like it??

the 09 trans is kinda perfect for our set up. i also like the wide shifter gate. helps to stops those uh oh downships. 3-4-5 gears are sooooo close ratioed and 6 is true OD.
1st is a little low but reverse is hell of a lot easier to get to.
looks and feels stronger.
I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Good to know. Everything breaks at some point, especially with close to 400 HP at the clutch.

Thanks guys. I'm starting the install Sunday. Any pointers? I have one more question. I'm noticed conflicting posts on the locations for the 60 and 100 ml/min nozzles. Which is right, 60 pre blower, or 60 post blower?

60 ml goes before the blower.
100 ml goes into the output of the intercooler.

You need check valves or solenoids as well.

Which wire is the MAF sensor signal output wire? Also, where are you connecting your acc 12V at? Are you guys just tapping into another circuit, or there an unused one that you dedicated to your water/meth kit?

Looks like its time to get your MAF scaled. Hopefully the tuning software coming down the pipe will account for that.

I found that the MAF signal wire is the yellow/red one. Where are you guys tapping off of for power? There's numerous circuits I could splice into, but I'd prefer a dedicated one.

Or you can use a software to help.

Dude you are blowing my mind with those readings!
318 g/sec at 7K?
TPS only at 54%?
a/f of 12.9?
It hurts---stop!

What do yall think of opening the apv's sooner (since my redline is at 7.5K they are not doing me much good?) or keeping them closed?

I wasn't "on it" in the 7K one...



I think a 400RWHP daily driven Renesis will be possible soon.

The turbo guys should (also) look to lower compression, with more volume to cram air into.

If you have the redline at 7.5, why not open them at 5800?
You will need to completely retune to match that, but I am sure it is possible.

Get a dyno done

Why not open them even sooner than that? One tuner on this thread claimed that opening them as low as 2-3k rpms gives FI cars better response down low. My next tune I will open them at 2k to see how it feels.

Velocity vs. mass...... it is always fun to try to find the perfect balance.
