V mounting?

[mk3 bamf]

Does anyone have pic's of v mounting setups on mkIIIs?

 

[Rennat]

You mean for the IC? Like rx-7's im guessing right?

 

[mk3 bamf]

yeah the intercooler

 

[Rennat]

Why? Theres not enough room in the engine bay to do it... and you get better air flow up front... planning on a crazy drift car or something???

 

[Poodles]

seen one... it's not worth it as it requires a LOT of modification...

With the inline 6, it just doesn't seem like the best idea. With rotaries or 4 cylinders, you have a lot more room and it can be done better. I mean I'm sure it can be done, but it's probably going to take a lot more time and money than you're expecting.

This is the Intercooler I'm thinking of using for the v-mount

Will this be a good one?

Why?

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Very impractical and pointless.

 

[mk3 bamf]

Why? It's really good for air flow and the intercooler is more protected from road debree

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

Umm, have you ever seen a supra?

How did you come up with that?
(btw it's debris)

Has anyone ever thought about putting a scoop on the hood moving/mounting/making a box for the intake to be placed there?

 

[Tgood]

I don't think its worth it. I mean why do all the fabrication when the intercooler is in the front bumper. Plus there isn't really enough room. I have seen one on sf though.

 

[PROJECT N00b]

well, i was talking about for us NA guys ^_^

V mounting seems like some dumb 240sx thing. Why not just run a large intercooler and a large radiator. Seems dumb to move everything around and run a 60% size radiator and 60% size intercooler. Doesn't seem like a good idea to me. I don't get why some do it.

 

[IJ.]

Airflow and debree apparently

 

[Tgood]

I was talking about the v-mount stuff project noob. I didn't see your post when I posted mine. I say you just get a big fmic and a 2 or 3 core radiator and be done with it. Its been proven to work great many times. Plus we don't have the same amount of room as rx-7 and 240 guys do.

Dee Bree is pretty danjeruss Ian.. you can never be too carefull... :sarcasm:

 

[mk3 bamf]

v-mounting is good for sorter IC piping and the IC and RAD get equal air flow . so how is it not a good idea?
