93degs in Portland Oregon yesterday. I have ets front mount with a koyo n-rad. Cruising on the freeway at 70mph my coolant temps were 181degs. Fans are set to come on at 190degs
The key to keeping them cool with a front mount is making sure you are running a undertray and everything between the intercooler and the rad is sealed to the air is forced to the rwd.

V-mounts have advantages and disadvantages. I run a v-mount and the car stays nice and cool but only because the fans have been changed to RX8 fans which almost double the airflow the car's standard fans had. problem is the turbo puts too much heat into the intercooler once I start boosting over 12psi @420 whp. Once I hit 17psi the intake temps are around 50 degrees Celsius (around 120 Fahrenheit) - Problem is the air flows through the radiator and not the intercooler because the bonnet is not vented. So if you are planning to do a v-mount, consider the cost of modifying or changing the bonnet. the v-mount also needs proper shrouding to force the air through the intercool and radiator. For this I suggest splitting the air intake to the radiator and intercooler individually to make sure both the intercooler and the radiator gets a good dose of air, air is like water - follows the path of least resistance. I am currently looking for a new intercooler and radiator to upgrade from v-mount to front mount with a custom deep core intercooler to bring the intake temps down. If you want power, you need to ditch the v-mount

I built a v-mount for my car. I am working on ducting now. This is a track car. What design do you use for a flat bottom splitter. I feel like I have no choice but to let air escape to the bottom which goes against the principle of down force and will create some lift.

Any idea when they’ll have their website up & running?

1:21 What kind of EMS & App combination is it? Adaptronic?

Just wondering, so the cooler breathing the hot air from the engine is better than having the cooler in front of the car breathing fresh cold air? 🤔
I would think that yeah v mount mounted inside the engine compartment is great but only if is watercooled because other wise there is no air hitting the cooler itself

hi guys how much for the kit and postage to new zealand?

I think your boys got some carpets stuck under his arms. Haha

The solution for front mount is water/meth injection. It will run cooler.
