Very nice man,looks good.This is a general question,but what are the advantages to a v-mount setup as opposed to standard?

[l0nestar]

ARC! Nice!

most of the time, when a race car uses a v mounted setup it can be for a couple of reasons. some would say it decreases the possibility of any type of debris from impacting the intercooler, while others would say it aids in the cooling factor . i think it has alot to do with less piping equals less lagwhich will give you a much faster spool time.

Gotcha! Thanks!

vmounts are far more efficient when done properly, but can actually hurt performance if not properly ducted. It allows air to hit more surface area of both cooling planes, and actually allows the radiator and intercooler to act like a pacman mouth to use all possible cooling air.

Channeling of the air, and usually hood vents above the intercooler help direct the air in to cool then out before getting recycled into heat. Addtionally the shorter pipes allow for faster response due to less volume.

Looks like a good start to me. Make sure you set it up correctly duct wise and it will be killer. Unfortunately with an RB they also make the coolant a PIA to bleed. but eh-- its baller either way

[Kalypso]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!! >_<

copy and past the IMG tags into this thread.

post pics from the front also... I want to see the radiator.

[rb26ishere]

haha i had to cut my filler neck off and weld it shut for more clearence..... i have to make up a new filler/bleeding neck... i just got the tubing and filler adapter... ill take sume more pics

[rb26ishere]

i went from bout 3ft of intercooler pipping to bout 10 in lol it should spool alot quicker i hope...

[rb26ishere]

check out the pic link more pics on there

[rb26ishere]

umm u want img where? lol sorry dont know how to tag like that

Cool man, nice to see someone around here who isn't scared of real fab work.

[gmac708]

Looking real good.
Do you have a build thread??? Whats the plans for the rest of the car?

[rb26ishere]

No I don't have a build thread, should I? Tell u the truth I duno which way I wana go it be nice to set it upin to beable to do anything I feel like that weekend lol can I gota do body work or find a sweet clean shell to transfer this in to. Which wouldnt take long since I didn't modify the body but the upper radi. Support.

[rb26ishere]

Oh and il get sum more current pics up have since I've powdercoated alot of parts wrinkle black. I setup a spray booth and oven station in my garage so I've been busy

[Shocker]

Loving the build and the fab work! Nice to see someone taking on things like this themselves.

[spkrboxx73]

Love the air box!!

[rb26ishere]

Thanks its for sale if interested... I m making one out of all copper going to polish it then clear it. Its gana be exactly like the arc one just copper

[chad b.]

+1 for the fab work and thinking outside the box, but to me you're doing something that just isn't necessary. There are guys making over 700whp with no overheating issues with a basic FMIC setup.

More attention to detail on the engine bay. I see a lot of grime and dirt buildup on everything and you're using cheap a** plastic T unions on the vacuum lines. Clean it up and keep it simple.

[rb26ishere]

Yeh I know I could have went fmic but I wanted sumthing diffrent... didn't want the usual fmic. And yeh that was a cheap plastic fittin to get by temp. Buddy got a lil cut happy when cuttn other stuff. They wil soon be replaced. And every thing is lookn cleaner since I've been powder coating alot of parts latly

[rb26ishere]

im powder coating the intercooler end tanks and pipping today..
