Make sure you seal up the relay box!!!! Otherwise water will get in and cause havoc!

Looks good man, glad you decided to go with it, you should get the cold air box tho, I think the design is pretty generic and you don't need to get the rotary extreme one if hes not making it anymore, the M2 is similar I believe. Good Luck

Yellow jacket tools makes a mandrel ratcheting bender that is 3/8 1/2 3/4 7/8 . I hooked up my condenser this week with new koyo in the straight up position and if not for the bender i would never have gotten the suction line to fit in new position. But the cost is 250.00, but i work on airconditioning units and had access to it free.

I have this setup too, re v-mount with airbox, your temps are lower than people with FMICs? I've only had the v-mount myself but I'd think that FMIC should get even lower temps.

I don't think FMICs are all they're cracked up to be.

I used to go cruising/tearing up the highways with my buddy ccarlisi.

His setup: gt35 single turbo, greddy 2 row fmic.
My setup: BNR stage 3 non-seq, M2 Large smic.

Our intake temps were always within about 1 degree of each other. I don't have a/c, so maybe that helps a bit. His coolant temps were always higher than mine of course, on his new 20B project he is adamant about staying away from fmic......

not really sure, sorry ...chuck told me the ic is good for 600hp...and the rad. was almost twice the size of the stock rad. made a huge difference...also its a koyo rad.

might be on his web site... rotaryextreme.com

Well the IC is a Greddy unit and the Rad is a Koyo, don't know the dimensions or part numbers but it can most likely be looked up.

On another note I saw Sonny from Rotary Extreme today at wednesday night drags, he said RE is totally shut down and I think he said Chuck is in Taiwan.

any chance you can measure the dimensions of the core of your v mount?

Thanks for doing that. I was afraid of that, it's quite a bit smaller than my M2 large.

reg v mount core: 15x10.5x3=472.5 cubic inches
M2 large: 17x12.55x3.5=746.7 cubic inches.

damn, that is a substantial difference
