Another one on the road........(Pics)

Well my single(GT35R)/v-mount project is finally winding down and there are only a few details left so I thought I would post some pics. I just got sone running the car hard and, without ducting, my intake temps only got up to 30 degrees (c) and ambient was 24. I am very pleased although i think i may have gotten the wrong spring rate in my wastegate, i am running straight off the wastegate for now and am only getting 6 psi. The spring was supposed to be .8 bar (about 11 psi).

very nice, I too have a GT35R and Vmount setup but it isn't finished yet. Hopefully will be on the road with it at the end of the month or early next month.

That looks really nice. One thing I'm curious about though... Is your radiator laying down flat?? I was thinking that it was just the angle the picture was taken. I'm not flaming, but just curious. Glad to hear that your intake temps were staying nice and cool. Should be really nice once you get all of your ducting in!!

Awesome setup! Please post up some pics once you get your ducting done if you don't mind. I'm trying to get some ideas for my own v-mount setup.

No it's at the same angle as stock, just reversed. I took the pic at a funny angle so you could see the ic too. the radiator covers the entire opening on the bumper then the ic goes from there to the top of the bumper.

Haha, that will be a while, i need a break from working on this thing. It will also be kinda tough cause i plan on incorporating sort of an open airbox into each side for a cold air intake. It will be really cool when it's done but it will be hard.

More like 'get it put together yet' !

I'm getting a few more parts coming in and I'm hoping to build it within a week.
