From all these pics I can see how airflow at the intercooler would be improved- especially with an extractor hood- but with the rad laid back so much it would seem that air would just skim over the face rather than flow through it.

Do these radiators have efans on the backside to pull air through them?

 

hmmm my post disappeared. what radiators are yall using for the vmount set ups. also any pics of how the radiator is mounted?

 

I'm almost running one. I kinda ran out of money to do the piping and I'm still debating on whether to keep the power steering or not.



I used some 90deg brackets from HDR bolted to some stock holes on the frame for the bottom and you can obviously see the top part.

 

yeah just with the install youre pretty much going to have to remove brackets and maybe the radiator support....unless you can fabricate some brackets so you dont cut the support, but then youre also making room for air ducts and vents for better airflow...

 

Have you started figureing out how to do it ivegonemad? I got 9 days vecation now so i hope my vmount is ready next week. Atm i just got a Koyo rad with flex-a-lite.. Anyone know if this is gonna be good enaugh for the vmount, or should i get a different rad?

Umm... buy a TIG welder, a plazma cutter, and an angle grinder. Learn how to use em, and hack away!

You need to learn how to weld alum for this, but come on, take a welding class, make it urself, it will be badass x10!

PS: They might even let you use your car for an "in-class project" so you get points, a welding certification, and get the V-mount done! Well, this is my plan anyway.

 

Would you want the fan on the bottom of the radiator or top? Youd think on the bottom it would get rocks and **** and the nice fans arent cheap. Or run two pushers, one pushing through the radiator one on IC?? Thats probly what Id do. You think a couple of like 7in fans on the back of a front mount would help?

 

No, you want to run it on the bottom of the diagonally mounted Radiator. And you want a puller fan there....

 

Does anybody have any pictures of the radiator brackets on any v-mount setups?

Thank you.

 

sorry if i brought back from the dead..

so whats new out there....i finally am going to start it since we now have acess to a welder and zerox7 needs some help...

 

^^ hell yea alex, well make this **** happen, that last link TT left on my thread gave me a lot of ideas, on how ima set mines up.
