angle mount intercooler
 

i want to know if its possible to mount the intercooler in front/on top of the engine. rally style of course... i know its tube frame and all and the set up is different.

i was thinking of making new brackets for the radiator and lowering it 6 inchs...i know the work involved...
but i think the engine sits to high anyways... any ideas?

-J

i didnt think the rally cars were tube framed, i always thought they had to use the same frame as teh production cars (in WRC)

other than that i have no knowledge of how to do it... :(

your right i dont think they are i dont know what i was thinking sorry...
anyways... theres gotta be a way

why cant we just have air conditioners blowing cold air into the intercooler? wouldnt it be more efficient? and wouldnt it create more...:banana: :banana: :banana: <---he believes it would:p

if you are racing (on the track of course) or in a situation where you needed the most power (like a dyno) you would not use your ac because any power you gain from the cold air would be lost to the load created by the ac compressor

fine! when i dyno, ill have the ac running from another car diverted so its blowing on my intercooler..

seee i really had to think about this answer because if i had a mini aircondioner hooked up to the car, then it would weigh down the car a whole lotta pounds

so where was i at?..oh yea:banana: :banana:

the reason that the rally car is able to run the intercooler in that angles position is becase of the hoods they use. they're not tube framed chassis, they just have serious roll cages. with a replica hood utilizing the right vents, custom intercooler piping, and some brackets, i don't see why you couldn't make it work.

in that case I say go for it.

Electric AC pumps :)

interesting......

I'm a little confused on what you are talking about... do you mean a topmount not using the scoop like drift style or what? :confused:

Signal auto does custom radiator and intercooler V mounting.... if you wanna spend a bajillion dollars and be their gunea pig.... They will do it for you...

it'd probably be cheaper to get a V-mount setup from someone who already builds one for an RX-7, and then have someone custom bend piping to fit.
