Anyone do "V-mount" radiator and IC placement?
#2
its supposed to do that
There are a few around, I am planning a vmount setup to sneak a three row aluminum copy of the "short" fb radiator under a supercoupe intercooler. I will post pics as soon as i get to fabrication.

I considered it,but a conventional setup was just easier.
I did make dedicated ducting for the radiator inlet and exhaust to compensate for airflow blockage from the FMIC.
Your more likely to see V-mounts from the FC guys since there are just plain more turbo FC's than 1st gens.

Heres my more conventional setup.Its kinda an accute V-setup since the radiator is tilted back FC style!;-). I didnt really want to deal with the extra fabwork of the typical V-mount setup.
Lower scoop dedicated to the radiator.
Ducted main oilcooler,theres another smaller cooler in the left chin vent.

While it's not an IC the oil cooler makes up the "floor" in front of the radiator on my IT7. 150 degree WT and 210 degree OT at Road Atlanta WFO down the back straight in July with an ISC air dam and properly sealed ducting.

The radiator is a Howe unit I bought 10 years ago.I dont remember the specs but it was built according to my dimensions. I sent tham a diagram and it was on my doorstep 3-4 days later for about 300 bucks!
Its a double pass unit tapped for the stock sensors and heater hoses.It sits directly on the frame rails on little rubber blocks I made and the top is connected to the remains of the header panel with sheet aluminum and rivits. Its solid,pretty heavy for an aluminum unit so it can soak up quite a lot of heat.Plus I have a big negative pressure extraction vent in the hood to keep thing in the engine bay cool.It works very well.

V-Mount Intercooler
Here you go.. My FB is not completed yet but it should in about 2 weeks. It has a 13B Half Bridgeport with a Comp Turbo GT35R Triple Ball Bearing, V-Mount intercooler and water/methanol injection. @2GSLSE.. I have never seen any V-Mount Intercooler the way your have your car set up before. It's always another around with The intercooler on top and radiator on the bottom as shown on the earlier posts.
Will post more pics soon

Hey you know the reason we are lurking around in this forum because we all want to share our past experience with all you Rotary's lovers. If I don't know or ain't so sure about the project, I would keep the comments to myself. Because I first read about your comment, the first thing that came in my mind was this guy didn't know crap. If you really have an FB with a V-Mount Intercooler in which you described as radiator being on top and intercooler being on the bottom, you needed to request a full refund. Anyone who have any knowledge about the V-Mount intercooler, they would agree with me since what you had described didn't make sense at all. Hey 2gslse. Please post pics of your V-Mount and prove me wrong. I will keep my eyes open for your strange set-up..
Ps. I just can't hardly wait to see you V-Mount intercooler set-up.

Sorry about the delay I forgot about this thread but here is a pic while it was at Speed1.
Most setups have the intercooler on top but with the intercooler size and not wanting to cut the support bar out of the car they were reversed. Currently the car is at 336 HP at 9 psi it still needs to be finished and the A/C put back in but its a blast to drive now ( its old 12A/Auto combo sucked)

I can has a Hemi? Yes...

they are good because they are efficient for their very small size, and they sell a nice fan kit to go with them.
But, they aren't good for a rotary street car. Just not enough cooling.
I wouldn't recommend it.

I don't have any pics of that but I re-used a stock FB mount and since my car is a 85 I had to put a plate to span the distance from the trans to the crossmember. I found the info here along with a pic of what I did. if your car was an S2 with the 3spd aut it wouldn't be needed (the 4spd auto is longer)

Around South Florida, the Corrado radiators are only for quick Drag Racing cars only.

Is your car one of the the "Rotorholics" car? If so, I always wanted to see more
