If the ambient temp never goes above 70F, the front mount IC will work just fine but if it gets hotter than that, you should consider a v mount.



I have made and used stock mount IC, custom apex front mount IC, and v mount IC. I found v mount to perform the best in terms of cooling both the water temp and air temp. Why would I put it on my own car if it doesn't work? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



How many of you have tried all 3 kinds of setups?

Chuck,



Check out 9Base3's AST mounting. I'd like my AST mounted that way for my VMIC setup.



TTYL!

Vmounts look nice and I am sure that they work just as well as any other IC. But they cost so much, i don't belive that they are worth the cost. But hey it's not like we don't all waste cash on **** we dont really need. FMIC gets my vote.

BTW, GreyGT-C Nice color choice on your car.

I'm with FD3'sboost, its just too expensive. And as noted earlier ,with proper ducting a FMIC will work fine. And for those like myself who have removed the A/C and looped the P/S rack, you have even more air flowing for you since the A/C condensor and P/S colling line are not blocking any of your airflow.

Does anybody have pics of Japanese track car intercooler setups?

I have a lot of those from the Japanese books but it takes time to scan them.

Chuck I want to add that I think your v-mount is a great product, and those who can afford it should jump all over it. Especially for those who want to, or stilll have their A/C, P/S or stock front bumper.



Great job! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Thanks. I know the vmount is expensive compared to other IC setups. I try to reduce the prices by running a group buy right now. If you are interested, you can go to the group buy section and check out the prices.

Here are the photos of the IC setups that I scanned from a Japanese rx7 magazine.
