RX7 FC vmount cooling setup - Part 3 - Bittersweet ending

Long overdue video.

The v-mount setup has been finished for over a year. It’s been put through it’s paces and heavily abused: drifting on 40C summer days and street driven many clicks. It works, pretty dam well. It has a it’s drawbacks, but overall it improved my cooling issues I was having, and I could drift for 4-5 hot laps as opposed to 1 or 2 like I used to be able to.

Oil temps are the only thing that could be further improved. I think using a bigger oil cooler would be best, along with a bigger intake catch at the front bumper. My design keeps the oil cooler far back, but would probably be better to have 2 coolers in the side ports (brake ducts) of the front bumper and keeping the v-mount to just a radiator and intercooler. This is all thinking of drifting in mind, I think this setup as shown in the video would be fantastic for a street/time attack car where the car is not going sideways. Driving around on the street, I never had temp issues sitting in traffic on hot days or cruising on the highway like I used to have!

Engines now coming out and going to something better and more supported :)

Nice to see the progress and development. I love the Diverts but better airflow is always the best
