Great Setup!!
only thing is when he wants to flush the coolant, he will get it all over the intercooler!!
thats why they put the radiator on the bottom...

how does that perform? same as a very good v-mount setup, right? I think it looks sick, I love how the nose looks, after the install is done. so what are the numbers? I wonder? pics of the whole engine bay would be awesome, I am also interested in the intake? its real nice the more I look at it.

its a good setup in that he is mounting everything as low as possible
but for flow, the intercooler and radiator at too great an angle from the incoming flow, and hence he is probably only using at MAXIMUM half the core face ie 0 flow at the front, and full flow at the back

I'm w/ Andrew...the angle is too low. You'd want it a bit more vertical to use more of the core.
I'm curious how the vented undertray affects performance of not only the IC, but also the undertray itself. I'm also curious how well the air splitter in between the IC and radiator works, and how necessary it is?

me too. who is this guy? we have to get him on here and tell us how and why he did this sweet setup. neit_jnf can you get this guy to come on and explain? that would be awesome.

Looks like a lot of hard work. Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful and probably very fuctional. But for the amount of work and money, I'll just stick to my good ol' front mount and spend the money on something else

On one hand, mouning the radiator down low would be slightly better for handling, since it weighs more and it's best to keep weight as low as possible. On the other hand, if a rock hits the I/C and it leaks, that's not nearly as catastrophic as having a cracked radiator. Either way, the fabrication work looks very nice.

the biggest problem i can see is high speed stability. instead of taking all the air and making it flow up over the car, it will push it under the car increasing. more air, greater densitiy --> bernoulli's principle.
