I have these pics from another member on the board but was wondering if others can post more as well I'm thinking about going v mount and I know I have seen more pics of this members setup but cant find it.

 

Here's my setup I'm fabricating, getting the mounting tied down currrently.

Edit.. Sorry I thread jacked

 

you want pics. of that cars setup......or v-mount setups in general...
cause i've got pics also...

brad

 

BUMP...interested in seeing different setups as well. Hoping this will be a good thread. Also, if you could include info as well.

 

Rotary Extreme's regular v-mount kit:

The one you posted looks like the RE large v-mount kit.

 

to bad rotary extreme shut down.. i would of def bought their v mount.... any other stores have a v mount for the 7? i am not to good with fabricating my own things

 

raretrick.com has the re-amemiya. if you have the money for it

 

HKS has a vmount that puts the intercooler at a slight angle and includes an adjustable piece that allows you to control how much air you want to direct to the radiator or intercooler.It's @ $2g though.

 

would you happen to have the link to that i would like to see some pics.. i would like to get one later when i have saved enough down the road

 

nice 3k+.............och

 

In my opinion the IC should have more angle. But I did mine with an FC that I built up. And it looks good but not like that although I invested a lot less.

 

Nice keep them coming. Would love to see a 20B vmount or 2

 

You can buy a HKS V-mount at NOPI.com. It is $2.5k though.

 

the v-mount in the first post is the one i made, i'm going single now so i'm selling the v-mount to another forum member and making a new slightly different one for my self.

i made a thread with pics of my build to help those building there own \/

if anyone is interested i can build them a custom v-mount with whatever IC angle and route IC pipes any way as long as there no A/C involved.

 

The IC in the pic you used is likely overkill for all but the max HP setups. I will grant you that it looks bitchin, though--It's a nice fab job. That being said, a better performance trade off would be achieved by using a more reasonably sized (smaller) IC and plumbing the intake to receive cold air.

 

Intercooling is free horsepower though, and from what i've read the larger the core the better. The larger the core the more it's treated (aerodynamically) as a void rather than an obstruction. granted that's just what i've read in all of my books and magazines so it could be wrong.

I'm curious how bad v-mounts heat soak in traffic. any owner wanna chime in on that?

 

this is the same as the one im doing now, well my mates doing for me

 

i have the RE vmount....not sure but i think he made me the last one....
some pics....

 

 

Nice, but from an engineering point off view, the entrance and exiting angle of the IC piping is total crap. Air going in and out will NEVER use the full IC core size in an efficient way. Maybe even less than the original one.

This can be seen in many aftermarket IC setups. Too bad really, considering the prices of these ktis

 

Again Worthless air flow IC piping going in and out the IC. Air just bounces into the back of the endtank wall instead of being curved into the core. This is not an optimal setup considering flow and efficiency. Certainly at 3k.

 

This is way better

 

Just wait for the one FDnewbie will be selling, it should be pretty well designed and will utilize the A/C

either way...here is mine

 

Here are some pics of the set up I made last winter.







In the pics I haven't fabbed up the ducting yet.

 

with many of these pictures (setups ) i notice the radiator is slanted backwards , does this in any way affect flow to the radiator thus hindering cooling , i dont see an aerodynamic way that air will pass freely through the radiator fins
or if someone would care to chime in
