Fluidyne Radiator and FCD How-To's

I know that there was questions from people in here on how to install an aftermarket radiator in the past few weeks. I just got my Fluidyne AL Radiator from mazdaformance.com a few weeks back and finally have time to install it! I will have full pictures and write-up on my site later tomorrow.

I also just got permission from Paul Stokes to use his How-To on building your own FCD! It is on my site now under How-To's then under the electrical section. Please don't ask me questions on it though. His email address is listed at the bottom of the write-up if you have questions

Enjoy!

The write-up is done for those interested. I will be doing the brake job how-to over the weekend hopefully.

Are you ever going to get the Fiero Fan write-up done? I'm just now arranging to buy one, and pictures would be helpful. What can I say, I like to see the end results.

Hey Dave, when are you going to get off your *** and do your Haltech writeup? I'm only a couple of wires away from being done with mine. Hopefully, I'll be up and running by mid-week next week.

I didn't end up going with that fan since I couldn't get my hands on it as I initially thought I could. I used the black magic unit and have had great results.

I had the same problem locally. But then I thought a lil bit. Went to the parts for sale section on www.fieroforum.com. I already have 2 people wanting to sell me one. Both, $25 shipped. The internet, what a wonderful thing

Because I have been too busy selling engines and making money

Now that SS5 has a date set, we are actually really pushing hard to do the whole car by then.


*PS I have the intake temp and water temp sensors left then I'm done. Where are you dyno'ing yours? *

LOL nice thinking. I just decided that I needed maximum airflow and I know that the Black Magic is provne to work well so I went with it. Besides I got it for a pretty good deal

Yeah that is another really requested one. We installed a set of Powerslot front rotors and stock pads. Then we used some new OEM rear rotors with stock pads. Nice setup for a daily driver and the occasional canyon carving

The weak-assed electrical system of the 2nd Gen RX-7 is why I'm hesitant to sell my Optima Yellow-Top...
