Looks really good man. Very nice!

who's v-mount is this? looks good, a little different than the original RotaryExtreme kit, which i have helped instal, but good none the less... looks well put together. i'd like some not-so-close up shots of the radiator intercooler to show the actual postions better... your pics are a little too zoomed to get a good idea.

Japanese HKS V mount

Yeah, I agree with stoked. Could you please get some pics from further away so I could actually see the setup better, cause you really cant see the full bueaty of the V-Mount setup.

tight garage space..will do so later...

cool thanks man, but other then that it really does look great, makes me think about doing a V-Mount setup. And BTW, how do you like the Koyo radiator? I'm looking at buying this one, what do you think so far?

yummy

That is very COOL. any thing u need to watch for? any special fab need??. going to order mine pretty soon want to know...
thanks

that thing looks massive. very nice.

Do you add a bung to drain the radiator (looks like it's upside down)? Or how is that done?

good question.

is it just me or does it look like the HKS IC sits at a much sharper angle than other v-mount setups out there?? Wonder what the reasoning is for that...either way youve got one helluva setup! :bigthumb:

pretty

nice setup! now, how difficult was it to install such a v-mount?

looks nice, great job

VERY nice!!!

Damn looks installed wrong

what do u mean?

like i said, it looks like the IC is installed in too sharp of an angle

I guess HKS Japan got it wrong too?

for some reason i cant see that raditor doing much on such a angle like that. all the air just hits the bottom, i mean there is that sheet metal creating some wind to it but i still cant see it cooling very well.

The exit of the cooling wind was guaranteed by mounting the intercooler and the radiator in V type, preponderant heat dissipation was actualized. Just it is the necessity with the circuit.

With combined use with the aero bonnet, furthermore the cooling effect which is superior is shown, 90 degrees and intake air temperature 70 degrees or less in water temperature are actualized even with the circuit of the midsummer.

Because of that, continual travelling becomes possible without giving the damage to the engine.
- i copyed that off knight sports site (translated) might help a few whos not similiar with v-mount.

i guess HKS just decided to maximize IC surface area over the radiator...not so sure how well that will fare with how tempremental rotaries are to heat...lets hope that little metal duct works!

It is the best of both worlds. I/c is in more direct air flow than other vmounts. And the radiator is a little more horizontal, but is still in direct air flow.

It's better than behind a big front mount. So 70 degree less water temps seem reasonable.

I want to see a pic with the front end on.

The fans may just come on earlier with the radiator mounted horizontally. It's still drawing cool air.

It seems the shield is more important for keeping the radiator from drawing air backward through the IC than actually directing airflow. But I'm sure it does both.

I still want to know how coolant is drained (something I seem to do quite often).

Put some Evans in there and leave it alone :)

Did HKS supply you with harness extensions to plug the radiator fans into?

And for more airflow to be directed into the radiator you could set the "diffuser plate" at the highest setting. I would definitely try to maximize airflow to the radiator to see just how efficient the radiator is at that angle, and then start adjusting downward if it (temps) allows you to.

No extension harness,

powersteering lines need to be cut

How do you plan to plug in the fans?

YOU GOT THE WRONG VERSION OF IT. GO SMACK THE GUY YOU BOUGHT IT FROM

fucken idiot....how is it the wrong version? you're nothing but a damn troll.

Nah I prefer to let the dumb arse smack themselves...

I dont suppose you have a v mount kit from HKS that has a harness extension?

I have had 2 intercooler kits..Blitz FMIC and HKS Vmount, both required the harness to be extended.

hks kit has power steering lines show on rhdjapan.com
