Do you have the mounting brackets? I have a customers car here I will snap some pix for you of the install. If I remember correctly on that IC you have to bend a couple things in the engine bay to make the IC sit even and not be tilted to one side. Ill try to snap some pics this evening.

By apexi fmic are you referring to the rx7fashion IC? I took a couple pics on that here:

I'll be installing this IC on my MB FD in next month or so.. Thanks for the link Banzai.

hey Banzai do you happen to have any pic of the apexi front mount setup for twins turbo? Did you fab any bracket for side of the intercooler so it can be stable b/c i installed it but it seem to rock back forth at the bottom.

Banzai-Racing 02-02-10 06:09 AM

There are brackets for either side of the IC that mount to factory radiator mounting locations, then, then there is the bracket that you can see behind the hood latch in the pic above. That is it for the IC supports, it is pretty solid. The second link I provided above came in with the IC and twins, go to the "breakdown" page for pics.

hey has anybody had any troble with the fan not turning after installing the fmic b/c for some reason mines wouldnt turn on and the car started over heating(turn it off right away). i was bleeding it for 30min and the coolant started shooting up so i closed the radiator cap and 10min later it starter over heating. Does anybody know why it does that or what can i do? thx very much

Test your fans. You either have something wires wrong, or you blew a fuse or relay. Did you extend the fan wires?

510_rx7 02-13-10 10:23 PM

thanks banzai i just switch the fan plug around and the fan turn on 10 mins after

How much HP (or flow capacity at 25psi) can this support? Looks like its pretty thick.

Anyone making big power with this intercooler? Am building my car now and just picked one of these apexi front mounts. My goal is to be around 600hp and need to know if its achievable with this intercooler or if I need to cut the front of my car a install a bigger intercooler.
