I'd love to see the boost this will make with the v mount. Should be similar to a water to air setup.

 

In for results and the build thread.

 

This should be interesting, and I thought very hard about doing the same thing. The V-mount has a smaller intercooler than the Kraftwerks, SOS is 24X9.5X3.25 and the Kraftwerks kit is 27x12x3. The way I saw it the V-mount has potentially better pipe routing and pipe size, and this might be a less restrictive overall intake path, even with a smaller, possibly more restrictive Intercooler.

 

Hey mate I love the V-Mount set up! but I thought Air/Water cooled S/C set ups are more efficient and produce more power? Surely the air will be cooler if water is added through the cooler rather than just air?

So the top radiator will be air/air for the S/C and the bottom with be the sock radiator with the two fans?

Does anyone know why KW don't use air/water? Man I would love the V-Mount but Im just worried I'll lose power.

 

Good luck man. I really hope this works for you. I was really interest in doing the same but didn't think the kits would work together.

 

See second post. Tuned the stock setup to have a baseline for when I change to the VMount.

 

Dayom.. you think that's conservative?

I'll assume you meant 15 degrees.

 

Oops. Yes, 15 degrees..

 

Holy crap that makes a lot of boost!! Should make a good bit more with the Vmount I would think as well!

 

Yeah, talking with tuner, he wants me to use e85 or race gas if its going to make more than 17-18 psi with the VMount at less than 8500 rpm.
