He's V-mounting his FC?????I want pics banzai.

 

vmount = whaaa???

 

V-Mount!!! It's an IC/Rad combo positioned to look like a "V". With the V-Mount setup, air is transfered to both the Rad and IC equally since neither is blocking the other.





See, V-Mount...

 

Again...

 

but with that setup it seems as though the cooling on both of those arent as good as they normally are had they been vertical.

 

...when you put a vertical setup (i.e. front mount IC with vertical rad behind it) the air passes through the hot intercooler first. This heats the air, and that hot air then hits the radiator, causing it to loose effiency. That in turn will give you higher water temps. With a Vmount setup, the rad and the intercooler get their own air, keeping everything cool.

 

btw great pics srce

 

errr....what i meant was that it seems like the ic isnt going to be getting as much air as it would with a vertical set-up.

 

its a bit of a tradeoff. Vmounts are the best at keeping all the components happy

 

do rotaries actually run hot enough to where youd actually ned to do this? ive never ever heard of anyone doing it with their piston engines.
