v type intercooler and radiator set up.

[eldiabloz13]

Has anyone seen the super street augst 2006 issue? It has a subaru on the frount but in the mag it has a sweet looking set up. Im almost sure its on a NSX. The pic is kinda crappy but do you guys think this set up could be adapted to our cars. Im not saying have those same angles as the IC and radiator but somewhat the same?

. Now also a V mount is where the radiator sits at a angle and so the the IC. In the shape of a V but going like this on a car <..The top part of that would be a IC and the bottom would be the radiator. Can you see the pic at the top i know it sucks but any chance you do?

I really wasn't sure what to make of the first post's photo. But with that description, it's all good, thanks!

I'm gonna do some more reasearch on this... sounds interesting.

well pnishr. I see it like this, you buy a performance radiator it can be smaller but get better flow. I see it just as that but you may be right seeing as i dont know to much on the cooling factors. Im going to start reading on it a lot more though. I get the basics just now im going for measurements and airflow.

No prob slipstream. Also a VERY big thanks to piedeye. The diagrams are wounderful and w/o it this would be a big in the dark thing.

yeah, a better core might be more efficient at cooling, but then it's also making up for the displacement and surface area change. So it'd have to be radically more effective to actually be better than the stock radiator. That's all I'm saying. At that point, you're getting the same as stock cooling. I'd think being able to fit the best radiator for the job in there would be best. If you're running a > IC and rad., it's probably not for drag racing, where cooling isn't as much an issue b/c it only runs a few seconds at a time (Like Shep's tiny radiator) It's probably for something long distance/high heat for extended times. In that case, you'd want a larger rad. core and capacity so that the water has more of a chance to cool before being heated again.

as opposed to the non tt models

no pretty much all rotaries..

You need proper hood, underbody, and bumper ducting for that to work correctly. Even if you did it right I don't see any way to lay down even a small intercooler in the very short front end our cars, never mind lay a full size radiator down below that.

I believe he was making a joke, since all FD3s's are TT from the factory and there are no "non-tt" FDs. The part he quoted specified the "third generation tt RX7" as if there were other options. No big deal though.
