i have a greddy FMIC and a Cwest front. I ended up mounting the core about 2"-3" lower than where greddy designed it for because it left a 2" gap at the bottom opening of the cwest bumper. i had to get a 6" coupler for one hotside pipe and cut just a small section out to the left of the relay box in the front of the car. its a tight *** fit with my koyo, but it works. I also had to trim around 3" off the opening of the bumper

Be careful with the hard mounting of the radiator as in pic #3. There are 2 issues to look out for:
1. The chassis may flex slightly up there and if you hard mount it directly to the metal it will twist the rad ever so slightly causing it to develop a hair line crack over time (happened to me).
2. Its good to have some kind of vibration damping so your rad isn't getting rattled around as that can also cause some cracking.

Looks good though. Nice ducting.

Blitz FMIC with stainless steel wire mesh in front for rock protection (hard to see), removed plastic nose corner pieces with custom blocking plates on the sides, and single shark tooth nose mod (idea from Brad Barber).

Glad to see another person protecting their IC from rock damage.

Here is mine, didnt even have to move the Koyo

This is all custom, everything is hand made by myself

This was my old setup with the Greddy 2 row 24v IC. I only had to trim a little out of the back side of the opening in the front bumper so everything would fit well enough until I could put my FEED front end on.



** All that oil was from the install of my Gotham Racing Dual-oil cooler kit btw.
This is my current Greddy 2 row 24v setup.

And for the record to all the useless post ******, I am AWARE of the gap in my hood as well as the hanging wiring harnesses for the turn signals. All that will be fixed in due time. Nuff' said.

Looks nice, but any particular reason the bottom right pic has RX-7 written backwards, like the image has been flipped? But that would then make it right hand drive?
