very nice! dont worry about the flow and angle comments...air doesn't decide not to flow just cuz they don't like the angle of the core fins.

Nice work. I'm thinking of going with the R.E. Vmount myself. I wonder if it would be possible to convert my M2 Large SMIC & my Koyo Radiator into a Vmount setup.

That tranny cooler should work for a ps cooler. I used a similar inline ps cooler with my v mount set up. I posted pics of it on nopistons if you want to search for it and take a look. It has worked out very well.

Looks like it is coming along nicely, good job.

Why did you create a cradle around the rad instead of independent mounting points?
Is there a benefit to this, or is it simply to retain stock mounting points?

Do you have a pic of the “cradle” by itself, and maybe one looking up from below the car with radiator installed?

The dimensions comment I was asking is because I am thinking of getting a bigger IC for my setup and the flow rating actually does matter, but thats okay if you think it doesn't.

was that at me,

RX7 RAGE, if everything gets welded by monday i will be at fusion tuesday with the 7

xxxtodxxx, the bottom outlet is going to be closed of and a new one will be placed on the new upper end tank

AgentSpeed, i saw that type of cooler in your pictures a while ago but did not remeber what the cooler was being used for thats why i asked thanks.

rotarypower101, i made the mounts that way because the radiator was sitting a little lower than stock and was not sure if it would scrape or hit anything so i wanted to make the mounts stronger, not in the pics but i have a piece of 2-1/2" angle aluminum thats going to connect the two mounts together.

Kinetic: remember to facilitate the ducting into your project; it is IMO the single most important part of the setup from experience. Big changes in air temps as well as high coolant temperature recovery.
