I have a water to air intercooler , two 7x11x 2 radiators and a pump.My question is wher to mount the radiators? In front of the condenser, or in each fender well.

Where they get the most airflow.

Jadz928

If you mount them in front of the cond. coil, you may impead airflow to the rad - though plumbing it may be easier than....
if you mount them in the fender wells - you will need to cut holes in your bumper cover, and will have a serious challenge w/the plumbing.
Either way make sure you have a really good idea how you're going to execute.
Most likely, you may have to modify the chassis, so you want do it in a way which has little impact on it.

I also have two 7 inch fans and a thermostat for the radiators. What about splitting the brake duct to direct air to the radiator?

Jadz928

I don't think you need to split the duct because air will pass thru the coil.

What made you decide on your coil dimensions?

In the fenders.

Ebay.Two 11x6.75x2 inch setrab oil/water coolers with 12 AN fittings for 36.00. The intercooler core is 5"x6"x3 1/2"= 105 ci.Two radiators cores at 9"x5 1/2"x2" = 198 ci. Almost twice the size.I figure more is better when it comes to cooling. I also looked at the cooler that 928mspt sells much much less area. These were originally used as oil coolers for a Nascar Racer. 750hp 8000rpm. Plus they're small enough to fit most anywhere.

Where does the Murf Stage 3 mount the IC?

AO

Let get our terminology right here.

Intercooler: This is the thing that cools the charged air down before it enter the combustion chamber. On the Murf 3 kits this the big silver thing that sits up near the coolant tank.

Heat Exchanger: This is the radiator looking thing that is usually in front of the condenser unit or in the wheel wells under the headlights. This is what is used to cool the intercooler medium down to ambient air. On the Murf 3 kits this usually sits in front of the condenser on the passenger side.

AO

More is not always better. Once you get down to ambient, that's all you need to do.

Is there enough room, and can they be laid flat between the engine and rad, at the bottom of the rad with the fan on top forcing the air down?

I put mine in the front fenders, one 11.5" x 10.75" x 2"in the passenger side:



One 11.5" x 7.5"x 2" in the driver side:



With 4" air intake holes in the bumper:



And holes for air to exit in the wheel wells:
