Guys
If anyone is running a front mount on their T11 can you give some advise, where have you positioned it, i mean is it behind the steel bumper bar or behind the next panel with the relays attached. + Where is the pipework running, down to the bottom of the rad i presume. Any pics would be a great help.
Thanks

Hello mate.

What are you going to use it for?

I think the V-mount design is the nads but i\'ts not for a Drag car.

I don\'t know whos car this is but i saw it at Pips when he was doing the Conversion. This is the sort of thing you want but alot more ducting to keep the the ic and rad apart (Heat wise).

P.s. I hope the Owner does\'nt mind me posting this Pic.

The car is mainly going to be used for track days and weekend blasts. I have taken the bumper off and come to conclusion that there is really only one place for the intercooler to go because of the size. It will pretty much sit perfectly behind the main steel support bolting onto the panel where the bumper mounts. The only problem now is the running of the pipework. I still have a standard rad, so no room to go by the top as the photo above, so they either go down and up or i convert the rad to run electronically and angle it back a little so i can run them the same route as the photo. The car is off to RX Motors to have some other work done so will let them advise as to the best solution.

I have a Big ft mount on my Coupe, i got rid of pritty much everything (including the Bumper renforcing) and i fitted mine directly under the top bumper suport.

It looks ok but my Vert is going the V-mount route.;)

Well over the weekend thats where i think mine will end up, so the same position as yours. So how does your piping run Chris, have you spaced of the rad or does the pipework run by the bottom of the rad. If you have any pics it would be a great help.
Thanks
