Vmount

[7yphon]

Just wondering if anybody has done a VMount intercooler on the R32 for the RB20

[Scribble]

Do you honestly think there would be enough room?

[SimonR32]

seen a v-mount in a r32 with a sr downgrade

dont think u would have the room with the extra 2 cylnders, its not really worth the engineering anyways

[7yphon]

I have seen a picture with it done* with a RB20 in it. I thought there wouldnt be enough room eather but I guess if you remove the cluch fan lean the radiator back and have the intercooler on top of that with a hole in the bonit it might work?

why?

[7yphon]

Why what? Why get it done or why the hell would you?

[Jago]

don't think it'd be worth the money it'd take to do it legally, plus, once you have a crash then say bye bye to the setup.

wtf is a v mount?!

why not just get an fmic!

v mount is the intercooler and radiator mounted in a < formation

so the heat from the intercooler doesnt go straight into the radiator.

probably more useful on a race/track car. if you have a stack big big mess.

the idea is to pass the hot intercooler air over the top of the engine and pass the radiator air under the car instead of passing them through each other

For those that dont know, here is a diagram.

Id think something like this is only good for a) a huge laggy turbo where you want to remove pipe length, B) drift front bar damage

I think it would fit. Ive always wanted to Vmount, pretty impractical for street though. Save your pennies

love the pic

[32vspecII]

wouldnt the fact that the ic and radiator are no longer flat vertical and producing maximum resistance to force the most air possible through them outway any posible benefit you would get from having slighly cooler air go through the radiator ?

[Maxx]

the benefit of V mount is increase cooling system surface area

if u simple want to remove pipe length & drift front bar damage u can always mount the cooler behind the radiator support.

have a look with the ASE setup in GT autosound car

it is like:

.......__

air~> /

the have a metal sheet between the cooler and radiator to make sure cool air goes up to the cooler but not only the radiator

with a custom cooler which is thick but short in width

i think it can be done within the limit space

ASE ask 2g for the SR setup, which include aluminium radiator & FMIC, not too bad i think
