Okay, forgive my ignorance. I did search and looked at the stickies, but what's a v-mount and its purpose?

Also amazing build man. I can't wait to see it when it's completed!

awesome setup, of course, I have some doubts. By mounting the turbo setting, blow both at once, right?? or one would go first and then another??. It would have a better response if no Do you ride single turbo?
Forgive but not much about it.

a greeting and thanks

the purpose of the V-Mount is to allow full air flow to the radiator as well as the intercooler, rather than stacking them one behind the other

it also lessens the amount of space needed to be pressurized by the turbos through to the TB, giving the car better response

the V-Mount is hands down the best setup for rotary engines because it allows you to properly utilize the enormous amount of space in front of the motor

just make sure you have a properly vented hood!! thats the last thing i need to get to have my setup running perfectly

nope these are going to independently of each other...think of it as 1 turbo per rotor

it will basically produce the same volume of air as a large turbo, but it reduces the amount of lag...meaning you get big turbo power, with less turbo lag

Not sure if you have noticed or at what point in the build this was but in this picture your AIT sensor is either disconnected or not working.

im confused how that will work? assuming youre going to cut the flange off and mate it to the LIM? interesting idea none the less!

imo they're a bunch of cool designs but the i feel like the stock UIM shape is like the FD motor trademark... love it
