Looking for some pics of V-Mount setups in FCs. Post what ya got here.

 

I'll start...

 

I also need some pics This what I got so far

That's FMIC bud.

 

S@#t My Bad

 

More!!!

 

how much more efficient is the vmount

 

well when moving @ highwayspeed and proper hood and front ducting its great....BUT....when stationary its not every effective...because it needs flow moving constantly and without fans...welll its jsut sitting... BUT it shortens the distance the air has to travel reducing lag a bit....(its more like inbetween front mount and topmount.) but it requires some fabbing and your car to be moving more for the flow....to be effecient

 

How efficient it is depends on how it is set up.

Mine, the BLUE TII in the pics isn't a V-mount at all. It is really a Horizontal mount IC as the IC has its own ducting completely seperate from the radiator.

Mine is great for engine temps as it allowed for a much larger thicker 26" x 19" radiator and it gets all the airflow to the radiator from the stock bumper opening. It is good for IC temps as the front rubstrip in the bumper is cut out for the IC inlet and is ~1/2 the size of the stock bumper's radiator opening so it gets plenty of flow. Having the IC horizontal allows heat to rise out of the core at lower speeds when airflow is low.

 

your setup is really nice! i very much like the horizontal style.....i keep thinking though i wanna keep the topmount style and go with sumthing a little more effcient on the topmount style....

 

It's also more efficient for a drift or rally car setup, where the car isn't always travelling ina straight line. Front mount works well on grip and drag cars which are always travelling forward, thus forcing air through the core. Vmount works better when the car is moving sideways as it forces air through the ducting (ideally, anyways) and into the rad/intercooler, even when the car is travelling at a 45 degree (or greater) angle.

 

BUmp more pics

 

why not put a fan on top of the IC to help w/ cooling when at a stop

 

i thought about that as well. someone should try that. and start a new thread about results.

 

argg. why would you need a fan on the intercooler. It would just restrict flow whenyou are moving...thats what an intercooler is for......cooling air entering the engine while you are moving. A radiator needs a fan because when you are parked there is still 200 degree coolant flowing through that needs to be cooled

 

anybody able to mae a vmount setup under the stock shroud? to use stock intake, and such, for a low key setup, dam california

 

I have never hurd of that^^^ I have a starion fmic the dimensions are 22x12x3. I think the only thing I need to do to fit this would be to remake the end tubes to the way I want them to go...anyone with info with this fmic??
