I am in the process of installing an HKS V mount kit but the way it is the mounted the fans almost hit the ground

my car is equipped with the newer version fans(2002)
im looking for a more flat solution..

whats everyone using?


and that HKS vmount sucks ***.. probably my worst purchase as far as i remember

 

When you pick up the seats and wheels you should pick up the rotary extreme v mount I have

 

I am using cheap eBay 12 inch low profile fans but the radiator is fully shrouded and sealed. Have not had a single issuein the Arizona heat. Temps are rock solid at 86C letting it sit and idle in the sun and 83 to 85 when cruising around. If you are running an aluminum radiator it probably won't take much. Just make sure the radiator is shrouded and is sealed properly.

 

Why didnt u tell me from before? Hahaha

Im only looking for the fans however

 

anyone used the SPAL fans?

 

hey stranger! i use two of the 9" (i think) SPAL fans with the curved blades, they seem to work well for me how you been anyway dude?
the ones i have fit nicely inside the endtanks of the FD radiator.

 

I have the HKS V-mount as well and have been planning a low profile SPAL setup for a long time, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

One thing I must say though, the HKS v-mount is definitely not the best designed v-mount and is very overpriced (especially with todays exchange rate...got mine when it was still over 100 jpy/usd), but their tube/fin intercooler core is top notch and their endtank design is second to none...much better than others on the market.

 

The intercooler itself is beautiful but the rest kit is junk... Its instructions didnt help one bit. It in fact delayed me a lot ( never seen it installed) .. After looking at some pics it made some sense..

I have yet to finish installing it because the junk radiator jaspeed was leaking and im waiting for a fluidyne to arrive.

Seems i am sold on the spal options.. A friend locally swears by them as well as my aussie buddy brad
I will see what kind of fabrication i ll need to do to fit a nice set

 

how i mounted mine:

the top tabs on the rad are slotted and the bottom tabs are drilled, so it has to move upward to come out of the bottom tabs.

 

Nicely done brad... Definately clean

Care to share the part numbers of those fans?

This is my first v mount kit and definately the last.. The fmic i have on my red car is far superior dont have to deal with all this crap such as lower profile fans etc
