ive been looking to do a v mount as well this winter with my rebuild and i cant seem to find rad mounts either so i imagine ill probably have to have them fab'd when i get the piping made. Im just worried about my water temp at idle and/or high speed b/c i dont know if the electric fans can push or pull the right amount of air. Anyone got any tips on fans whether push or pull type and how much they need to flow as well as radiator placement tips b/c that brace where the oil cooler is mounted seems to be in the way of a comfortable fit.

i've only found one that i like but not sure where to get it. it is real simple, just a lip towards the front of the hood, the vent is cut behind that, and spans most of the hood. It is real simple.
kinda like this one...
This dude is selling one

i think he has a website... like www.rx7pro.com
something like that
Might be best to just have some body shop make you one. just chop up a na hood and make sure there is a lip around the vent

Thats an old Panspeed hood. You won't be able to find one anymore. There's only one person I know with one is in San Francisco.
No one in the USA makes a bolt-on VMIC & radiator kit. Why? Because the majority of FC owners are too ****** cheap to afford one.
I was in the process of developing a kit. Had lots of interest and people in line. But after making the first kit, doing the testing, proving the results, not one person paid up.
The biggest problem in the FC is the front crossmember bar that holds the stock oil cooler. To make an efficient VMIC and radiator setup, you need to cut that out and relocate it. If you don't, then the angles for both radiator and intercooler aren't efficient. So thus, there really isn't a good BOLT-ON vmic kit for the FC.
I have the kit on my car with a SexyStyle hood. I have temp & running numbers from every setup of the way, so I know the good numbers that a properly made VMIC can produce.
