Which front mount kit did you buy? The M-spec? I've never heard of a "kit" not coming with the necessary piping. Is is possible you bought a kit designed for a single turbo?

yep i bought the m spec kit....but none of the pippings fit i mean how hard can it be to intall some pipping plus a performance shop is doing the work and they telling me i need to get the right pipping????? i know i have the right kit for the tt not the single t......the pipping is juss wrong!! were can i get the right pipping

Have you talked to the RX7Store yet?

As far as I know, there is no place to just buy Greddy FMIC piping. Greddy doesn't necessarily want you buying piping for one of their kits, but not the whole kit itself. Call the RX7Store and tell them what's going on, otherwise you'll need to fab up your own piping: http://www.burnsstainless.com/

Just buy the correct diameter aluminum piping from one of the many suppliers in the USA. The internet is there for a reason instead of just asking questions.

IMO, it's probably the truth. However, what you can and should do is take pictures of the piping and get a few measurements of them. Then contact Greddy USA and see if they can verify you have the correct piping for the kit. Otherwise, you are stuck doing custom piping which you most likely want to avoid.

You also have to remember that the M-Spec is their el-cheapo model. It probably doesn't have the Greddy logo stamped all over everything like their kits that costs 2x as much.

i compared my pipping with my friends pipping he has the same kit as me his is installed on his fd and the pipping r way different....so im gonna take pics and contac greddy...

thanks for the advise!

Well, did you get everything in a Greddy box or not? Did you look at the pictures on rx7store.net to see if your piping looks like that? Are you aware that that kit requires the Greddy elbow and connects to the stock y-pipe?

revhardallday 04-05-07 04:35 PM

yep i also got the greddy elbow still have the stock y pipe the box came sealed and i did compare the pipping with the pic on the rx7store gallary.....it looks way diff......??

rx7store is pissing me off all they say does the shop know wat their doing????
the shop were my car is....they installed the same kit as mine on 4 other fds and a diff kind of front mount kit in 2 others everything fit perfectly... i know they know wat they r doing..
plus like i said before i compared my pipping with my friends pipping on his fd (same kit) pipping looks way diff..

Nobody is there but you to see the problem. So, you need to take pictures of these comparisons and send them to the RX7Store.

revhardallday 04-05-07 05:15 PM

im gonna send them some pics

I talked to you earlier... Before you get all bent out of shape, post some pics on the forum..

1. What part of the 4 piece pipings does not fit? - take some pics. Otherwise, no one knows why in the hell its not fitting.
2. My couplers did not say Greddy on them either... but it doesn't mean it wasn't from Greddy..
3. Make sure its not for a single turbo... If your shop did infact installed FMICs before on fds and knows quite a bit, they should of realized if it was for a single right away.. If the pipings are for a single and your shop didn't realize it, go somewhere else.. LOL!
