My new custom v-mount....
 

I just got my car back from Anthony's house ( 86v8rx7 ). Here are some pics of what kinda work he did on my car.. Enjoy!!!!:nod:

More!!!

Looks nice :)

I've seen this in person. Pictures simply do not do justice.

Badass!!!

Very high-end race setup you've got there RB. Like the way the ducting mates with the hood slats.
There's enough heat exchanger area to start a damn nuclear plant.

Lmao

very nice! pic of the front bumper shot

Here are some more pictures of the setup I built for Robert.

Clean slate, where everything started.

In order to fit some 3" charge piping cleanly and with the shortest path I sectioned out about 4 inches from the power steering bracket. I removed the a/c too since this is a race car after all.

I got a 24"x10"x3.5" Spearco core for the intercooler, it's rated at 900hp efficient at .5psi pressure drop. Robert was a bit worried about this but now he makes more boost, spools quicker, and has lower intake air temps than with is old HKS front mount.

I built a flange for his Greddy Bov, and had to modify his Greddy throttle body adapter to take 3" tube and added 2 -4 an bungs for his wastegate line and a vacuum line. Pretty much everything is AN now except the radiator lines.

For the radiator I built aluminum lines that go almost all the way up to the motor. They are all mandrel bend 1.5" aluminum. I had to make tabs to hold his fan in too and seal off the holes he had cut in the shroud before.

I built an air box for his filter and had to build a surge tank in order to fill the radiator and separate the air out since the radiator was low now. I had to modify the upper water neck to, so I cut it apart and turned it 90 degrees and added a bung for his temp sender and a -6 AN bung for the surge tank.

The air box uses Dzus fasteners so it's really easy to take the lid off and clean the filter or pull it off.

The setup seems to work really well, but I won't know for sure until he takes it out to the tracks and really beats on it.

If anyone needs anything fabricated or welded just shoot me a pm.

Anthony

nice

More pics of the p/s bracket..

looks awesome!

its about time you went v-mount. let me know how much cooler your car runs.

I will do...

Good stuff gents... I gotta say, I really enjoy being friends with guys who aren't afraid of fab or pushing it a bit on the technology front (regardless of what's under the hood).

Only feedback off-hand would be adding a grommet at the intake box to avoid wear and welding brace in between the two radiator hard lines (that's a long run to be unsupported and aluminum has no stress endurance limit relative to fatigue life.)

If this looks amazing now, I really can't wait to see it all polished...

...and when he finishes tweaking the odds and end. Good engineering eye suggestion for one more future tweak. :icon_tup:

Wow impressive. I can't wait to see this in person. Sorry I couldn't yesterday Rob.

No problem Jason.. Just give me a call when you are ready...

I agree!!!!

lookin forward to mazfest to see this thing in person. awesome work.

damn had to sac the a/c to do the v mount huh?

looks awesome though

I only race the car now. So no a/c needed..

^ What about interior?

Looks sweet!!! Can't wait to check it out in person.

Interior is staying. You have to draw the line somewhere.

wow, beautiful fab work !

That's sick robert. Vmount FTW. Now crank the boost up since your air and water will be cooler :rock: Look forward to seeing it in person. Those welds looks sweet.. would love to be able to weld like that.

fap fap fap

will he do work if its shipped to him

Sure shoot me a pm and let me know what you need.

was the front support bar cut out to make this all fit?

looks really good. great job!

The support was cut to fit the v mount but we replaced it with a chrome moly crashbar.. That will support the same area.

Do you have any pictures of the bar?

As soon as the fab work is done.

More pics the new Comp turbo and Tial mvr 44mm wastegate. Both the turbo and wastegate is water cooled. Turbo size is a ct4367-65 with a .84 divided housing.

Can he fab that kit to my riding lawn mower?

funny guy!!!!

nice turbo their, sir :) you gonna show off that beast @ 7stock this year? it's pretty close to your house, so you have no excuse for not being there :biggrin: btw, how the hell is the wastegate watercooled? :scratch:

Hey Mike,
The wastegate has a port running through it.

More bling!!!

That turbo is worth more than my car. Even your V-band clamps are blingworthy. Like that bead-rolled I/C duct too.
Interesting airbox solution to feed the turbo. Looks like quite a challenge to shoehorn all that stuff in there.
Are you done with mods yet? :ponder:

No way Jose!!!! I have more plans for this car.... Its only money..

It never ends for any of us. Part of the fun. More over, Robert is simply the poster child.:icon_tup::icon_tup:

Cmon Robert when are we gonna tube the front end....... We need to put that pig on a diet :Kill1:

Not yet. Finish the cage first...

Nice show car Robert :)

Funny guy. Will see since my little problem is fix.

AHAHAAHA! No kidding.
