front mount or v-mount??

[darko32]

hey guys, just wanted your opinion on what to use if i was aiming for some serious horsepower in the future,what would be the best set up? and when i say serious i mean in the realms of 600-700bhp!! have heard lots of different things but still confused....:2Rolleyes

[rx7veilside]

have a serious thought about what u want to use the car for
road/track use the v mount but 6-700 hp is a tall order and will require shedloads of mods ad all set ups have their pros and cons
huge v mount and water inj wld be my choice and i have had fmic/charge cooler and now have v mount

[darko32]

im aware of the masses of mods needed to make that kind of power and this is a longterm project for me! what v-mount set up do you have and how much did it cost? price is the only thing that really scares me when it comes to v-mounts...

If you think the price of a v-mount is scary, then you really need to have a hard think about getting that power figure!

starting from scratch then 10grand of ur hard earned is going to dissappear nearly as fast as the car

lol i, only scared if its not worth the money!! im well aware of the kinda prices involved but i opened this thread mainly to get down to the bottom of which one is better.....

I\'d say for track and fast road a large Front Mount would suit you fine (one for sale on FDUK as we speak IIrc, one of the best ones there is too !!) , if you want to track it though you\'ll need a *serious* V mount for those numbers.

To get those sort of figures wouldn\'t a charge cooler be better/more reliable?

[darko32]

ive been hearing alot about charge coolers,um what are they???......

Hello Daz

Think of it like a fridge

Electrically cooled air, or water cooled, I\'m not all that sure actually.  doh

[rx7veilside]

dont bother with charge cooler they need bigger pumps/ast tank a good reservoir and just dont cut it..only any good for drag when u can also use ice reservoir

[darko32]

lol,ok so from that im assuming charge coolers arent very helpful when it comes to a good track/street car and they just clog up the engine bay,so if were to reach the  power i was thinking about in the future,is the general consensus that id need the v-mount??
 
TAZ!

We have these V mounts, and it was good enough for the fastest RX7 in the UK, was over 1000bhp

Assuming u r talking about Ross? he ran a modified Greddy frount mount on the drag car, didnt he?

I\'ll double check with him, would have thought he\'d use his own V mount
