i dont think your going to get any air to flow across that IC?? sound like a bad idea to me? it would be alot more efficient out front where the air is? but it looks cool

hhaa yea, i was tellin him the idea, i thought he was just messin around too when he said he was gonna do it. but anyways, having a vented hood would help the airflow, but its not neccessary, my friend with a 95 FD runs a v-mount system also and has no vented hood. its all about proper ducting, he has a plate in between the radiator and intercooler. it helped reduce his intake air temp ALOT and his water temp also.

One thing about the Vmount, however is that they are mounted with the front of the intercooler up high, and the front of the radiator down low. This creates a trap for the air, and equal amounts of fresh air go to the cooler and the radiator.
It looks like your setup is effectivly blocking half of the airflow to your radiator,

and with the angle of the intercooler, I don't see what would motivate any air to travel though it, rather than taking the straight path through the bottom half of the radiator.
That said, It looks sweet, and great work on the fabrication. I hope it works better than my pessemistic brain thinks it would.
Good work on doing something original.
