I have picked up this V-mount description a while back and would like to have the writting translated since I am doing this set up in my FC

Thank you

there is actually a mistake on that diagram.

the blue box is the I/C obviosly that is the intercooler.
the green box is says it is the radiator but based on the diagram the green box is much smaller than the pink/red box which I assume should be the radiator.
blue is I/C
Green is A/C condensor
pink/red is Radiator
under the pink(radiator) is the electric fan/fans
behind the blue (I/C) is the battery

the last bit on there is the Air seperator panel to divide air between the lower half and upper half. The kanji is to small to read but i can see the #3 on there so I assume that the air seperator panel can or should be adjustable in three different ways depending on how you set up is working so that you can give more air to one of the two halves. That is a pretty simplistic layout, if you are planning to do this kit on your own you will not really need this diagram. Actually you definately will not need the diagram. It seems that this diagram was just a random brainstorm of someones. The most helpful information from this diagram is maybe identify to someone who was not sure where to place the condensor unit.

Good luck with your V-mount set up! I think keeping the A/C is a great idea for the FD guys that want to have V-mounts but most of the FC guys don't really care to keep their AC badly enough to get all new lines fabricated for it.

Hope that helps

Thank's Tom

I had deducted (logicaly) most of what you explane. I just wanted to confirm my logic thank you.

As for the A/C that is just it
Even if this is an FC I am getting to old and do not want to cook in the car (to hot)

I want the performance but need the comfort so I will go that extra to get it

By the way this set up will be in a 88 FC but I retrofitted with a 13B-REW TT

Again thanks for your help my japanese is not that great even after being in your country for 2 1/2 months in Koroiso

it's not a random brainstorm - it's a simplified diagram from HKS. According to them, they tested all the other v-mounts on the market, combined this with their own R&D, and came up with this idea as the optimum design.

 

I think the design is great I tend to agree with HKS as for the A/C condenser I was wondering if keeping it close to the rad was an obligation but having it angled a little makes a lot of sense for the flow
