I was wanting opinions on this setup. Its kinda like a h mount but instead of being on top 90* w/the rad it would be in front on bottom with a shroud to divert air through the top and a reverse cowl on bottom to create a neg pressure to pull air through. this design does not block as much air to the rad i think.  |

I tested the conquest IC and it fits. If can find one longer but with same height and with bether flow than a conquest/starion IC it would still work but better  . The pipe would run somewhere under so if I could turn the comp housing upside down I would have a very short travel to the IC and normal dist to the TB from IC. |

looks good, try running it by some of the bigger car forums for more imput.

One of the things that makes the v/h mount so awesome is that it has such short piping that reduces pressure drop.. mounting it down there would require just as much piping as a fmic... although Im sure the radiator would like it alot more than a fmic.

I've never actually seen a v mount on a FC only a h mount and that would require a hole in the hood to vent the air. The design I came up with would use the same amount of piping as a standard fmic, allows for the stock fan to be used and still gives flow to the rad. If I do go this route I may cut out part of the moulding strip to get more flow across the rad.

how about this.. make a vent under the car to vent air up into the intercooler.. that would be pretty neat.

keeping the IC in the same place but reversing the cowls?
