I am considering getting either a koyo or fluidiyne radiator for my 7. I have the apexi FMIC how is the fitment with these rads? Any pictures? thanks guys

 

I have the mazdacomp radiator and the Apexi FMIC. I did have to invert the radiator, but other than that everything went great.

My stock radiator is already inverted. It's just pretty tight in there already not sure how much more I can fit. how thick is the mazda comp radiator and do you have any pics? Thanks for the info.

 

What does inverting the rad do? That is invert as in turn upside down right?

 

i think i remembering seeing that HKSFD3S can get the koyo rad for $375 PM him

 

I wish I could be of more help, but KD Rotary did the install. Dave did tell me, he had to custom fab some brackets so the mazdacomp would fit, because the Apex FMIC is designed for the stock radiator. As for pic's, I'll take a few and post em.

ErnieT: thanks for the info I just ordered the Fluidyne today I looked at dimensions of all of them and fluidiyne likes like it will fit the best. i will post pics when its done.

ZOOMSPEED: With most frount mount intercooler kits you have to invert (stand up the radiator) for the large intercooler to fit.

 

How is this accomplished? Is it difficult?

 

With the apexi FMIC kit it is not that bad to move everything. They provide brackets so you can relocate the condensor, AC dryer, Battery and the power steering lines I think thats everything. It moves it all so you can mount the FMIC and invert the radiator.

 

do you need any special brackets or custom work to invert the rad?

 

You just need the APEXI FMIC kit i includes the IC and all necessary brackets.
