rotarypower101, i havent forgot about the ducting but the way the intercooler sits it should only need a few pieces, by the way thanks for the help.

i took more pictures of setup with the ducting finished since i had to remove everything to smog the car, also i ended up using a fd tranny oil cooler to cool the power steering and havent had any problems with it.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
you did such as nice job! you are a master fabricator. I can't imagine that IC set-up does not perform very well. your an inspiration to all of us.

wow. if buy any chance could you tell us how much you have wraped up into this v-mount? from the pics this thing looks very well put together. also go you put the unit in one whole piece like is in the pics or do you have to break it you piece by piece in order to install.

Awesome work. I am really impressed. Have you thought about the possibility that with that ducting being totally closed in the rear that you might trap air at any significant speed? Seems to me that you should have some outlet for the air to pass otherwise that could create a 'dam' effect and put drag on the car.

I'm sorry wha?
Wow I gotta say thats an amazing job man. Very impressive and clean setup. Do you mind if I copy it? 
I was going to attempt a V mount setup over winter. Do you think you could share some dimensional info on that bad boy? But I would definitely do all the ducting in carbon fiber simpy becasue it woudl look a little better...or would it?

thanks for the compliments,
Fish- with the measurements i took before i ordered the intercooler i knew it would sit on the frame rails but fitting the radiator took me two days because i couldn't decide what angle and height i wanted to use. and where i was going to move stuff like AST, power steering, battery
dubulup- all the brackets and ducting i would guess it weighs around 15 pounds or less all the metals used are 6061t6 aluminum so its very light, tomorrow ill finish putting every thing back in and post some pictures.
FromSilvia2seven- if i remember correctly i spent about $800, to install i just take off the bumper and slide in the hole unit and put 3 bolts on each side and rest the intercooler on the frame rails and bolt it up.
DGblk93- i dont think that having the ducting closed off in the back traps air but that it forces air to go through the IC/radiator but i was thinking of making a few 2" holes on the right side to get some cold air to the intakes.
Xeros- copy it thats what the pics are for
no prob PM me for the dimensional info and any other questions, as for the ducting i would not use carbon fiber because after a while carbon starts getting faded also i hate the mess that comes with making anything out of fiberglass/carbon
rynberg- ill post pics tomarrow
