yeah...it's minus a motor at the moment. in the middle of a REW swap. i cracked the rear iron on my 13BT.

 

Make a build thread!

 

i will. the project is pending parts / funds right now. nothing exciting happening

 

To this day, that intercooler remains one of the favourite things I've built. Went together with zero problems in an afternoon.

The full build is here:
Project Tina, April 30th, 2010: TII Oil Pump and Transmission Installation, Catch Can, MOP Removal, Intercooler Improvements

 

I bet! That's such a nice intercooler. Saves so much pipping and prevents so much turbo lag

 

You need a bead roller, Aaron.

 

Revamping thread for more pictures and advice. Just got my intercooler today, and turns out it didn't come with the mounting hardware (brackets) where can I find some? Any one know?

 

I couldn't find anything so I was thinking something along the lines of this: http://www.rotary-works.com/mm5/merc...gory_Code=INCK

Does anyone know what's the max intercooler size? And can you run stock rad on this?

AAANNNNND more pictures please :P

 

With a bit of modification, you can run anything ever in anything. So... I don't know what kind of information you're exactly looking for. How about you buy all of the materials that are needed, you fly me in, and I will completely fabricate your dream V-mount set-up...? That's completely up to you.

 

Man, I only wish I had the money to fly you in. I'm going to look into V-mounts now that I got my intercooler in

 

Do you have any pictures of mounts you've fabricated?

 

Oh, no... I have never fabricated a V-mount set-up. I just know that I am definitely very capable of it. And for a reasonable price compared to other aftermarket set-ups. I will eventually make my own. It is all about money and prioritizing at this time.

V-mount is the way to go. I wish you luck with yours... Thanks for posting that Rotary Works V-mount mounting bracket link. I knew they had a kit, but I didn't know they sold just the bracketing. Pretty interesting!

 

Oh okay. And thanks man! so far they're the only site that I've found (in my search so far) that sells just the V-mount kit

 

DO NOT BUY THIS ROTARY WORKS KIT!
(or anything from them for that matter) Just making this clear to everyone.

You will spend more money customizing it because nothing fits than if you were to purchase universal parts and have a shop make you a vmount kit. Their customer service blows. They know that they are ripping people off, and are okay with it.

Read through the first 4 pages of my thread: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generati...review-930243/

In regards to purchasing the brackets only...

• Holes in intercooler to radiator core support were off
• Same bracket didn't fit right due to a welded nut underside radiator core support
• New vmount upper radiator support beam is too long
• Every ******* hole in the new oil cooler bracket where it attaches to the frame was off
• Tabs for oil cooler on oil cooler bracket hit a a beam on the car
• Bent brackets that hold up radiator and intercooler didn't line up with both radiator and intercooler
• Thermostat outlet pipe needed grinding to actually fit thermostat inside it
• Thermostat outlet pipe is missing a bung for sensor
• None of the holes for the lower radiator support lines up

Not worth ******* with this. If you want a bolt on kit, seek Rotary Extreme on this forum.

Here's the end result after having a company fix the piece of **** rotary works kit. Take my advice. I already went through the pain and money.

 

And now my quest takes an unsuspecting turn. I now search for the one called Rotary Extreme

 

And it turns out rotary extreme doesn't sell just the mount... :/

 

any vmount you do with the stock radiator and a random intercooler is going to be hugely custom anyway... a kit would be a waste of money.

 

That's kind of what I figured... How bout some more FMIC pictures? Anyone?

 

Koyo replacement Radiator, EVO Intercooler, Ford Bronco upper radiator hose.

 

im still waiting to see an intercooler mounted flat on the bottom... so... um... you know... dont have to tilt the damn radiator 90*

 

My RX8 is setup this way and I use a aluminum undertray with a hole cut out the size of the IC core for vent. Works very well

 

Well I'm vamping this thread from the dead, just roughed in the FMIC core and first 90 degree tubing, on the passenger side I'm going to cut a circular 2.5" hole, but on the drivers side the windshield washer reservoir is in the way... What do I do? How did you guys do it? Should I jut pull it? I might do that, I need advice

 

Roughed setup

 

I hope you end up having some sort of crash bar of another 7 will bite the dust should you accidentally hit something. Cut or fab something up if the oem one wont fit.

 

Should I be mounting my FMIC somewhere else?
