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?

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

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

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
