Made some really good progress on the v-mount this weekend largely thanks to the help of a good buddy.
Initial mock up of radiator. Was hoping to use the factory cross brace, but it wouldn't work with the intercooler size I wanted so it and the mounts had to go. Fabricated lower radiator mounts. Really happy with how these turned out. Once the lower mount was done we moved on to the upper. Attached gusseted plates to the end tank, welded a tab on the frame rail and secured with vibration isolators. Mocked up the intercooler. The box represents core and end tanks. A view through the bumper. I'm gonna run AC and figuring out what to do with the condenser was a huge PIA. We didn't get to the condenser mounts but the hard part of planning it out is done and we have a path forward. Stay tuned for more. Last edited by RXtacy; 08-09-2015 at 07:42 PM.. |

You know where you can stick that box.
Looks good. Will having the hoses coming out on the front bottom side of the radiator cause any ground clearance issues? It looks awful low, but I'm sure you guys have checked that out beforehand.

That belongs to the angry one seen below in action. Those hose niples are no longer used so theyre getting cut and welded. The fan is the lowest part of the radiater and it is ~2" above the sway bar as it sits. |

I figured that's who the asshat responsible for the mindless drivel was.

Woohoo! progress. I've been told that when you mount an oil cooler or condenser it should be placed up against the radiator. Mounting it away from the radiator creates turbulence behind the cooler and decreases the efficiency of the radiator. I don't know if that would be applicable for a V-Mount as I can't tell which side the air is supposed to flow through the condenser.
Your mounts make me very jealous.

Thankfully the FD has a great setup for oil coolers so that won't be an issue Fabricating those mounts was easy. As I'm sure you know it's the planning and forethought that takes FOREVER! That being said I'm definitely really happy with how they turned out. It was one of those times where the plan actually came together with reality. They would be even sexier if someone hadn't forgot to bring the dimple die kit |

That's why they're called damnyankees.

Yea it would be pretty hard to reach a conclusion given the differences in our builds and altitude. If my water and air temps are good and I get air coming out of the vents even marginally below ambient I'll be happy |
