What V-mount is that? The Ebay one? Car looks good man.

 

he said it was a custom one at the start of the tread. didnt u read it? it cost him like $500.

 

I got the intercooler from www.fatboygarage.com. Great customer service. It's actually advertised as an FD v-mount but you have to do some custom work to mount it. Thanks again guys.

 

nice

 

Looks good!!

 

i cant find it on the website? the performance parts button thingy on the website does nuthin???

 

This is the same guy I got mine from. Exact same intercooler. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RX7-F...spagenameZWDVW

 

Thanks for the insight. I guess that automatically means that you couldn't possibly get it off Ebay.....

Would really like to see your pics of the Vmount setup. Get them pics up!

 

Yeah but i dont think itll flow as good through the IC(compaired to other vmounts) because the lack of angle.

 

I think it looks good. Especially for it's price. Plus there are Parallel Mounts which are pretty populer in Japan. (and that has no angle.)

 

u should make some brackets and sell them to us/ me cause i want a v-mount but dont wanna spend a small fortune on a rotary extreme unit. not to mention im not all that handy when it comes to fabricating.

 

I could definetly get some brackets made. Are you talking about the radiator brackets or the intercooler brackets? I could make a few sets and see how people like them.

 

for both that would be awsome. i would also like to see pix of your set up if u dont mind.

 

yea for both the ic and rad. i would also like to see more pics, maybe a shot of the front close up.
any idea of the price? ballpark figure?

 

I just made a call to the guy that made them for me. He had a drawing with all the dimensions and where to mount them on the intercooler. If he has them on file still I will just post the drawings. It shouldn't cost too much for you to get them made yourself if you have the exact dimensions you need, which will be in the drawing. If you'd rather me get them made I can but it will probably be cheaper just to print the drawings and take them to a machine shop. As soon as I get the file from him I will post them.

 

thanx a lot bdennis, there is a guy near where i live that said he could help me with the setup and those diagrams would be very helpful and much appreciated, thanx buddy

 

If you do that, I will nominate you as forum member of the year!

 

well maybe forum member of the month lol

 

STFU! at least wait till he post the info lol... j/k

 

Doesn't a v-mount setup work much better with a vented hood though? If I go the v-mount route I would definetely go with a hood change as well.

 

is that a stock CYM?

 

 

v-mounts definitly work a lot better with a vented hood but its not a must have. all that air needs somewhere to go.

 

Don't think so. The engine bay pics shows it was either black or montego blue. Regardless, it's a nice!

 

Here are the pics guys. A couple of suggestions. We made mine out of 1/8" thick stock. The brackets could be a little thicker, say 3/16". Also, the length is currently 4". The room is there to make that 5 or 6 inches. Remember, this is just what I did. I'm not saying its the best way or even the right way, but it is a way. I've had mine done for about a month and I love it. I'll try to get pictures of the radiator brackets up soon. Good Luck. P.S. It is not an original CYM.
