Gen 3 Performance/Longevity Upgrades
 

First time posting and need advice!

I have a 94 Rx-7 (man) that I'd like to keep engine temp down while maintaining near stock appearance. Another concern of mine is keeping modifications down to a minimum; i.e. relocating/modifying x, y, z to make
the following parts fit:

I'm considering purchasing the GReddy Standard Mount Intercooler, the GReddy Intercooler Pipe set. Maybe the Efini Turbo Pipe upgrade at a later date.

As for the radiator, I'm considering the Fluidyne Race Radiator. In searching thru some of these threads, there is talk about the Koyo Radiator that raises my eye.

Are these products direct bolt-on? With these parts installed, will I have issues reinstalling attaching hardware (ie: radiator shroud & fans, etc)?

Again, my goal is to improve cooling performance and increase engine longevity while giving a "subtle" look of mods without relocating alot of stuff.

Thanks for the straight skinny!

^ Beat me to it... ;)

The fluidyne is a straight drop in, the koyo is not. Get an aluminum AST and look into running more water than coolant, 60/40 or 70/30. A downpipe if you do not already have one will really help underhood temps. If you are crazy like me, removing the p/s and a/c helps drastically in keeping things down--the condensor sits right in front of the rad.

With the exception of removing the PS and AC (not mandatory), go with what "GoodfellaFD3S" said, plus do the fan mod or install a Miata Thermoswitch to have the cooling fans come on at a lower temp or when you want. And what's the rationale behind the Greddy SMIC? The stocker is good enough up to 12 PSI. If you want a reliable car, do the above and leave it alone.

Rationale for GReddy SMIC: want an upgraded IC that looks cool with polished pipes and without moving a bunch of stuff.

Thanks for the skinny Goodfella & SpeedKing!

I got a Greddy SMIC for sale.. Cheaaapp!!!
