Hey guys, talking about winter projects brings up summer projects.



I'm doing a vmount setup. I already started to cut so is kinda late to go back to stock now.



I"m attaching a picture of another member from the evil forum on what he did. I'm going to go that way but instead of using Mocal 235 16 Row, i'm going to use 25 row.



I know I need to so alot of ducting to make it work correctly.



Just want your 2 cents as I get going with this, the TII has been in hibernating for the past 2 1/2 years.



I have already start making mock cut out of the radiator and oil cooler. I will take pics soon but here is what i'm aiming for.



C



PS THIS IS NOT MY CAR, JUST AN EXAMPLE FROM SOMEONE ELSE.

Kahren, Vosko,



Is not my car, is from the teamfc3s not evil forum. I just stole the picture.



That picture was taken when he was making everything fit and was not finish. The radiator was being held up by a rope.



I will take pics of my car tomorrow and give specifications.



What do you think about the oil coolers, they are going to expose.

the owner of that car does all his own fab work, he does nice things with it. Cosmo powered too.



I would love to see someone do back to back testes of a fmic/stock oil coolers versus something like that. Would justify the costs

to me alot more and give me the push to do something similiar

I gather that from his posts and looking at his work.



I had the usual setup of greddy front mount, High Performance radiator, stock Oil cooler with a big turbo.



I had a hard time staying cool with the previous setup.



Since this will be a track car, i will up the oil cooler to 25 row.
