hey jus a question on that set-up might be abit stupid…but how well does that design provide for cooling bieng mounted there and not into the direct air flow …u gonna u put a scoop?
by the way the look is SICK!!!
read my posts again
we are yet to do ducting and a hood
which puts both coolers in better flow.
they get seperate air and its a flow through system
you gunna run ‘sans bonnet’ on friday?
possibly.
or a ghetto rigged thing
Nice work Ian,
Nice car D…
actually my point was to keep it stealth, like the hood pins, keep any vents under the back of the hood… keep it sleepy
Is this really going to work though? When I spoke with one of the Japanese drifters about his Vmount he said you need ducting to ensure that the air has no where to go but through the cooler and something about air pressure being different on the other side therefore forcing air through the IC.

at teh very least it has to work better than trapping the air with the hood un-modified…
Woo nice job Ian 
hood is vented now
not finished, but started and functional
pics?
The reason for no ducting is that on the hwy the cooling was SO effective in the last V mount that it brought the engine down out of operating temperature. this is an attempt to allow for reasonable operation in all enviroments… what may need to happen is a partial ducting with the ability to bypass on the hwy.

ever heard of a thermostat?
wow thanks for the insight…
however these were dereks choices based on what’s he experienced with his setups. SO, the persons experiences with his own setup, outweigh your trite comments…
:roll:
Nice v-mount, nice work, nice welds…
Sorry to jack but…
BAS,
Where are you located?
How much do you charge for welding alluminum?
How busy are you these days?
PM’ed you…
sasha i have a perfect thermostat.
with the s13, and as cahil can also support, the coolant just drops off the gauge.
although it has not gone below 160 yet.so it should be fine now
if a car can heat up in -20 degree temperature and entirely close off output to the radiator then how do you figure just because you have a v-mount the engine would’nt be able to heat up?
ya honestly nothing about this makes any sense. with no intercooler at all your car doesnt run cold. what does a vmount have anything to do with coolant temp/
