Custom V Mounts
Here are some pics of our V Mount for S13 (customer car Ron J). He ran a successful year with this set up with no cooling issues. This car was able to make pass after pass, some events we even ran 2 drivers with little cool down time.
1600-3000.00 this price depends on if you want the intake, hood scoop, and how you want your piping set up. We have some really good fabricators here at the shop. These guys can do anything. If you want something custom or if you have any suggestions please let me know. We have also prototyped S14, S15, R34, R33 and 2JZ applications. If you are interested please contact me.

V Mount
Quote:
On our race cars we have 2 options that work really well. 1st Option-- I don't know if you have scene the "Weld" car, we have a set up similar where the radiator and fans are relocated to the trunk area. pics - Once again this is not our work, (this is an amazing car, I just scene it for the first time last week at Sema) 2nd Option--We have a couple of guys that have support bars connected to the cage that wrap around the front of the car to protect the radiator. (We tried to make a support system without connection or reinforcing with the body cage, but the front engine framing is not strong enough) The only downfall with these 2 options is the cost, they require alot of custom fabrication, which can get expensive. I am willing to give an awesome deal to anyone competing next year on any set up!!

I agree with Carlos about the protection thing.
Meaning that it sits out front so much that if someone was to dirt drop the radiator would be done for. Most V-mounts are set up further back towards the engine. Also a typical V-mount set-up that I've always seen are a exact V meaning that the intercooler core and the radiator are touching creating a V shape almost, therefore trapping the incoming air and forcing it to go up towards the intercooler. There seems to be a significant gap in between your set up. Do you guys do that on purpose? Just some questions I had. Your set up looks clean, just not the norm that I've seen that's all. |

Intercooler Relocation
We also can relocate the intercooler behind the front support. This works really well but does not provide as much cooling as the V Mounts.
We have been doing this set up for years! I happened to notice a few cars we drive/compete against at Sema that started doing this also, LOL! I had all of the intercooler piping welded together on these 2 cars, these guys never have to worry about blowing a coupler or boost leaks.

I think the community would prefer this one when considering cost and protection. Full-race has a setup like this available for sale. |

V Mount
Quote:
Thanks for the props, its nice to get feed back from guys who understand the purpose of this modification. When you do alot of custom fabrication its trial and error, so I appreciate all of the input and suggestions. On our first design we did have the radiator V'd against the intercooler, but I was afraid if he wrecked the radiator would smash into the intercooler. We moved it down so if he does hit something it drives the radiator back into the car and doesn’t destroy anything else. (This guy is a dirt queen!) I did a lot of research on Japanese drift cars and spoke to some drivers before we starting doing this design. The Intercooler is flat due to hood and bumper fitment, almost every set up I have scene on pro cars is always this way. The radiator is angled so the air travels into the V shaped area between both components. There is nothing in that area that forces air to go anywhere else, but into the intercooler, so there is really no loss. Looking at the pictures without the bumper it does look like its sticking out really far, but take a look at the pic of the car with the bumper, everything fits nice and its really not that low to the ground. Cooling is unbelievable. You can hammer this set up all day, in Atlanta and Miami weather and it never gets hot!!!! I would love to see some photos of other setups, please post if you have some! If anybody wants to do a custom design, lets do it!

Intercooler
Quote:
I can do this set up really reasonable. Price will depend on how you want your piping done. I'm assuming most guys already have intercoolers, so using your parts I could start out at 400.00. If you want to get crazy with the piping -do some cool welds or make a once piece pipe, I would have to charge more for the weld time.

Red S14
Yes the pipe on the Red S14 is once piece. Pipe uses one coupler at the throttle body. (No coupler attaching intercooler to pipe, it is attched by weld.)

Looks nice, VMount is the way to go for serious cooling. Just to let everyone know the radiator is actually adjustable on my design, "that big ass gap" can be filled by sliding the radiator up, it is on a adjustable track so you can replace it or adjust it if needed.

Car Pics
OK, here are some pics of the gold 240sx. The paint and graphics on the car are a little ....different. I don't do any painting at the shop, I contract out, Im not sure who he had paint the car. To me its more of a mini trunk or hot rod look. Paint is different color on each side and so are the wheels. The paint is good quality, but I think I would of kept it all gold if it was my car.
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9ETiUyE89I[/ame] Video of the car.

No I don't mind. Thanks, I'm guessing those are some pics from Memphis??, that is not the owner of the car driving, that is actually one of my drivers, Charles.

Bumping for a great design. How much just for the mount itself for an s14? Already have a IC and rad with fans and hood and looking for a proven mount that looks phenomenal.
