Final pics of Vmount and ducting.

 

Not very different, but here ya go. I already had the IC, otherwise I would have liked to leave a couple inches for an intake duct...oh well.

 

TitaniumCranium, is that the RX7store vmount kit?

 

Where can i get a strut tower like that one

nvm

 

thanks alot man

 

Sup guys i wanted to do a V mount setup for my car but most places ive seen they wana sell a whole setup, so do u guys think its better for me to buy a setup like the HKS one for the $ or am i better off buying stuff and building it myself

 

ugh i can't wait to go single-turbo...planning a v-mount setup.

don't want to bother with one for the stockers...my homemade smic works great for now

 

Here's my modified Odula V-SPEC V-mount-kit (with Koyo N-flow radiator):



More pictures from the build can be found in my gallery.

Water temp at 79 degrees Celsius and intake air temp at 21 degrees Celsisus on highway at 110km/h with outside air temp at ~14 degrees Celsius. No ducting yet.

 

Its basically the same thing. I already had the IC and the koyo, I just had to modify them.

 

RX7store.net has a very cheap set. I think they are one of the cheapest in the market. They take the Greddy FMIC and Koyo radiator and convert it into a V-mount. Hope that helps

 

nice pics

 

need to clean the flies off

 

moar pics!

 

that is WAYYYYY too much intercooler for the stock twins IMO. you're probably doing more harm than good with that large of an IC. looks more like a radiator than an IC!

 

It is huge... but I like the way you fab'd in the RE HUGE air cleaner with that setup. Looks good!

 

it did 325 at the fly on a dyno-dynamix dyno with the above setup, during apexi PFC mapping and builds boost fast, profec b capped at 0.85bar, good strong power curve and goes pretty good on the track - its been fine like this for nearly 6 months - can you explain the "more harm" comment?
i appreciate it is a large v-mount but it is a precursor to a large single setup i'm planning.

 

I cant see if i posted these here or not so heres my setup. The intake isnt pictured in this shot ill update later with finished shots. The intake sits right next to the V-mount on the passenger side and breaths cold air off the front of the bumper through a KNN panel filter.





The goal was to get something setup that would be OEM bolt in with little or no modification, to be modular (entire radiator/fan/IC setup can be removed in 10 minutes and by removing 6 bolts).

Results in the winter were a 12F above ambient average.

More pics later when I get around to it

Still be done, a Upper plate and more thorough ducting up front, although that may not be necessary.

 

Subaru intercooler?

 

JDM Sti version 7 i believe. Slightly taller than the US variants

Fits like a glove and great results ! Not goin single turbo so it should be good enough for some fun with the BNR's!

 

I've never really looked at them. It looks kinda thin, do your temps fluctuate a lot?

 

Theres another inch that you cant see thats there.. its a 2.8" core roughly, so its small in terms of big HP core, but no the temps are pretty constant for my climate (AZ). In the winter they will stay 12-14F above ambient. Haven't really summer tested it at all.

 

cool, as long as it works!

 

RX-7 store sells a modified Koyo with the inlet and outlet on the same end, also known as a double-pass radiator. If you already have an aluminum rad then it might be cheaper to take it to a local fab shop and have them weld on the required end tank. You could also call RX-7 store and see if they will modify yours (assuming it is aluminum).
