If you send your intercooler and radiator to us for modification the price is $640. Thats turning your existing parts into a V mount setup.

Depends on which single turbo you are using. It looks like a small K&N filter would work. If you have the stock twins then you would need something like the Greddy or Pettit intakes. There is more flexibility in those systems.

We were actually talking about that today and trying to figure out if there was enough room. We have a 20B coming in tomorrow for some work and I will take a look.

I will install the hoses and take some pictures on Monday. We had to weld another endtank on the top and block off the bottom ports with relocating one of them. Its not something you will be able to do in your garage.

If I was gonna go for something like that I would want it to fit a M2 Intake box and a PC680 battery.

I just recently sold my Greddy SMIC in search of a v-mount setup. If Jason can make a setup that connects to the y-pipe and Greddy elbow, I'll be all over this

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but will the HKS RS intakes fit in there?

If your good at working with aluminum then you shouldnt have a problem. The endtank is the hardest part.

The setup currently works with the Ypipe. To me it looks like it would, but I dont have an intake here to test.

madslow, the RS intake will not work with that setup. The IC core is too big.

The V mount allows a lot more air to reach the radiator. Some people in really hot climates have reported temp issues with a front mount. If your a roadracer then a front mount really isn't an option. That is the main difference between the two.

To me it looks like the Greddy dual intakes would work or some kind of K&N filter setup. The Apexi and HKS Racing intake wont work.

We will be coming out with a smaller intercooler in the next couple of weeks. Probably something similar to the Rotary Extreme.

^^ sweet! cant wait to see! Its great that someone is finally jumping in where RE left off. Once the cash starts flowing again, I'll soooooo be on this.

The smaller core will allow the use of the "Turbo Jeff" battery tray, yea?

I fount a smaller core and will have it completed next week. This will allow you to keep the A/C and run a smaller battery. It should only raise the price by maybe $200.
