headlight washers? didn't they only come on Beamers and Mercedes and Volvo's

 

hopefully he means windshield washers.

And yes the headlight wipers are on the fancy euro cars with the cold weather packages.

 

mine has headlight spayers I think it was a canada thing. there is a washer fluid bottle on the front driver side too, with nosels pointed at both headlights

 

It was a canada only thing.

I have them too. I get people to check my headlights, then hit the sprayer button, and get them in the eye. Its really quite funny.

 

here we go. stacked ontop of the oil cooler
hopefully no more high oil temps

piping starts next week

 

keep us update w/ temps.

 

10th AE's had them too

 

bump^^ any news scott?

 

IC is at the shop getting bigger pipes welded on. I'll probably mount it on sun and start piping next week.

 

how many j bends and u bends do you have scott?

 

hey, why cant you just mount the intercooler way down in the front? like that dude with the CYM t2

 

If I'm thinking of the same guy, he has the GReddy one(are you convinced to go GReddy yet ).

 

here are some pics of how the GReddy V-Spec kit FMIC mounts up:

 

I believe the whole reason this thread was started was because scott was investigating where he should mount his fmic, he tried mounting it down in the frount but it blocked the oil cooler and he saw a 20+ degree in temps reading.........hey scott who made that rad mount/support?

 

I dropped my oil cooler one bolt hole lower, gets a little more surface area without obstruction.

 

i did this too, the oil cooler hangs under the bumper and is not blocking the radiator, and its not blocked by the ic either.

where do you have your BOV mounted?

 

oh, nevermind i see it in that picture.

 

Are high oil temp. problems avoided with the greddy kit?

 

Hey cymfc3s, what kind of elec. fan are you running in there?

me

I still haven't done anything... madreal bend U pipes are sitting in my bedroom. silicon connecters and a reducer are being droped off tomorrow. I'm still waiting for the shop to get off there buts and weld new pipes onto my core. it's been down there for like 2-3 weeks now....

hopefully start up again this weekend.

 

i have a mariah kit. Basically a black magic fan with a custom fiberglass shroud.

 

CYM, ur car looks like its smiling from the front

such a beatiful engine bay...i cant even see the shock towers?

 

Scott, i have the exact same problem with my oil temps. I have a FMIC that i built that doesnt block the all the air to the radiator. With my big mazdacomp radiator i have no issues with coolant temps, but the oil runs hot! Strangely enough, i took the fmic out temporarily and wanted to see the effect, SLIGHT temp reduction, but still hot oil. I was thinking about making a dual 25 row oil cooler kit and mounting it in the side areas like how FD's do it, Then they get their OWN fresh air, plus less radiant heat hitting the radiator from the stock oil cooler location. Any updates on your oil problems?

i just installed my FMIC last week. I noticed a 10 degree rise in temp in both oil and water. But it should really big anyhting big. You might want to get a Fiberglass Splitter for Mazda RX-7. its a functional lip. i have it and it works really good and looks good too....
