Try searching thats what I did befor I went at it and lookeda t evryones and got ideas.

Size of the FMIC is dependant on where you want to place it and how much car you want to cut up. I used 3in piping the whol way. Made for one heck of a headach I would not sugest it on the cold side unless you have no PS. As well 3in required me to relocate battory and coil pack however made enugh room for a dry ice box. IC I used the core is 15.5" x 11.5" x 3" Overall lenght is 22.5" If I did this again I would go with the greddy and put it in the front over the bumper brace and cut my bumper all up for it. This one wehre I paced it required no cutting minimal relocation stuff effort but sacrafices cooling. I sugest this thread and this method the most thow. https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...+reinforcement

I have piping you can come over, and copy. if you want, Buy a spearco/Ebay Bar and plate FMIC, and fab the piping. Total cost ~350.00 AND, it will be more durable than the Greddy(not as shiney though ). Carl 707-696-2705 BTW, all you have to do, is come over, and work, and I can set you up with everything you need

LMAO I know it looks like that dont it. No there is 4 jack stands under it. The battory and bricks is holding up the IC piping wile I was doing test fits and meshurments. The wheels were off b/c I was sending the brakes to oreilys for a core deposit on new ones and I had to get the wheel well and wheels off to get the bumper off and all.
