I read somewhere online that a V-Mount IC setup is better for cooling the engine/turbo setup than a FMIC that blocks the radiator. This is, is that everything needs to be custom made. In theory, I think the V-Mount setup sounds ingenious. The radiator is not only getting cooler air than a FMIC, but if you run an inverted-scooped hood, the hot air that is in the IC and everything can escape quicker. Does anyone make and sell V-Mount setups, or do they have to be 100% custom? Are their any other benefits to this?


I've been on here for a couple years, and this is the first post I've made in a long time. Feels great to be back lol. -Chris

 

they are always 100 custom

 

Signal Auto makes them for fd3s twin turbos and for s20det's, but they are about a grand if I remember correctly

 

not safe for streets...gay unless you are into racing.

 

it's only not safe if you get into an accident...

 

CIP motorsports can do them... www.240sxmotoring.com

 

Yoshio Factory as well uses and makes kits. This is not for your average driver. It is very expensive, and I doubt you would actually need a V-mounted intercooler since you are asking about them.

 

the only reason cars have top mount intercooler is for RALLY! so when they hit someting the intercooler doesnt get banged up I.E impreza, GT4, lancer ( wait lancer not sure) all rally cars

 

Nobody ever mentioned top mount intercoolers. Stay off the drugs.
