? about V-MOUNT setup
 
hey guys i have a chance to really get a good deal on a dragon v-mount set up, but i was told by another member that i would have to buy the radiator that comes with the set up, ? 1. am i just paying for the brackets and I/C. ? 2. i have a mazda comp radiatior that i really dont want to part with, so will this radiator work with any v-mount set up\. thanks

you can pretty much make any radiator and IC work.... the brackets definantly need to be made and if I remember corectly you "may" have to relocate the drain? if it sticks out... for ground clearence.... er something like that...god I can't remember... do you have a pic of your radiator? also you may have to do some funky custom piping for both the intercooler AND the radiator if the frame or other crap is in the way....
so to answer your question....maybe...lol I'll look for a pic so I can see how yours is oriented... I'm guessing everything is like a stock one?

you would think that if you are buying a v-mount setup it should come with radiator.

dragon vmount? i've never heard of them. do they have a website or any pics??

unless u have a welder and fabrication skills, u need to buy the radiator that comes with the v-mount. reason being vmount uses modified radiator that has both hose pipes on the top versus one on top and one on bottom for normal applications.

hey thanks guys for the info, just that i dont have a pic the radiator is on the car, but its the mazda comp radiator that has the fins built in to hold the air flow in front and not let it pass around the radiator.

Well thats what this post was for, i have never heard of others saying anything about the radiator, just only the I/C. So that is why im THINKING!

so does anybody have a play by play on how to make your own setup, also just to make it clear, i know that im not the only one that wants to know about the ? being asked. so can i use any radiator with any core. or does it have to be same radiator and same core.

KINETIK_FD3S 01-03-07 11:42 AM

have you done a search or seen my v-mount thread?, i have explained this a few times, any aluminum FD radiator will for any v-mount you just have to modify the in/outlets to route the hoses and make mounts for the rad.

I think there is a V-mount setup in the works that should be pretty nice :) With any luck the project should be done by spring time.

RX7LINK 01-03-07 05:44 PM

cool, that V-mount IC looks really nice.... all except the gay dragon logo spray painted on it

7 BOUND 01-03-07 05:57 PM

hey kintek were in diego are you i use to live there up in north county, played football for palomar

KINETIK_FD3S 01-03-07 07:31 PM

i live by the downtown area, unless you can tig aluminum it would be easier to buy the dragon radiator made for their kit than to have your radiator modded to work, as for the dragon logo just spray some brake cleaner on it and it will come right off.

RX7LINK 01-03-07 08:35 PM

here's the link to Kinetik's thread on his vmount if u haven't seen it yet.

ultmtrx8 01-04-07 06:21 AM

Where did you hear that you needed to buy the extra radiator from??

The dragon v-mount kit is made by an english company called radtec and you get:

1.) Intercooler (size depends on turbo? either twins or single)
2.) Radiator
3.) Brackets
4.) Intercooler pipes and radiator hoses
