v mount setup radiator question
v mount setup radiator question
Ok i'm thinking of doing a v mount setup for my car but I've seen many setups and I'm not sure what to do.
Im going to reuse the koyo radiator so here are my questions:
which way should the radiator be mounted? I've seen all kinds but here are the options i'm thinking about:
option 1
radiator fans stays mounted in the the same place, rotate the radiator so that the fans go facing downwards with coolant inlet/outlets face down towards the ground (might be dangerous if the car bottoms out)
option 2
remount the fans on the other side of the original location, coolant lines stay upward and rotate the radiator upside down (although the drain plug is gonna be in the top
I can draw it out if needed, and if there are any other options feel free to advise/give ideas.
Thanks

your going to need a custom radiator if your going vmount.. do some searches and u will be helped.. i plan to go vmount if i can find one or if FDNEWBIE finnaly releases his...
I've seen many setups work with the koyo so I'd like info on that. I've found 2-3 different ways of doing it so I want opinions from those.
Thanks anyway
best way to go with the koyo is option 1 but relocate the inlet to the top... keeping the inlet at the bottom will more than likely hit when going up driveways and parking lot speed bumps.
for this you will need to divide the top end tank and close the stock inlet.
