V Mounts

[andysmee]

Thanks for the opinions - keep them coming.
 
Andysmee, do you mind me asking how much you paid for the RE:Worx V mount?

Best not divulge the total price (as it is bespoke depending on the number of pipes you need or can be re-used off your existing setup) but the pair of radiator/IC cores come in at £950 + VAT IIRC
 
If I had already gone front mount I would have looked to reconfigure what I had into a v-mount setup. You can fettle the mounts you need by hand I would have thought rather than replace the rad/IC.
 
For the record, the RE:Worx v-mount does allow cold air through to the induction kit if you want it to (on a single induction kit set-up). But on mine the twin cones are behind the IC with no ill effect.
 
P.S. I have a Feed vented bonnet with this set-up so temps with a standard bonnet wouldn\'t be the same.

Cheers Andysmee, that\'s great I only wanted an approx. cost.

I\'m really leaning towards doing this - I can feel a winter project coming on :yes

Is it really feasible to re-use my Blitz IC and PWR rad to do this or would I be better off selling these on and buying a complete V mount kit?

If you can fabricate and you have I/C + rad make you own my man. Lots of people are doing this now. I can\'t comment on how it would compare to a genuine kit though.
 
A customer of mine has a 200SX and he made is own v-mount using an Evo I/C. Brought temps down lower than his FMIC.

keep the pwr rad,  its works fine on mine in a v mount.  The i/c will depend on size and if you want to move your battery and the size of your induction kit. Also where the pipes come out on the i/c.
