FWIW, Rx7 Store's Jason and Zavier did my FMIC install, and a bunch of other mods. They know what they're doing! See my sig for mods, or visit their Rx7Store.Net, installs...

 

Brady,
The intercooler did not have instructions with it?
If not let me know. I have some here I can send.

Jason

 

Just so you know, the instructions suck ***...I really feel it for those who got it in Japanese. It's like pseudo instructions

1. Take off bumper
2. Trim Bumper & Rebar
3. Replace Power Steering Line with provided one
4. Relocate AC condensor and Radiator. Be sure to mount the brackets as show in this terrible photo one of our Jap engineers drew.
5. Mount the Intercooler
6. Orient the pipes in the directions show...
7. Mount the bumper
8. Refil Fluids and go enjoy yourslef.

Be sure to get all your brackets turned in the right direction

This
site will help because it's got some amazing photos...Would be a good idea to print them unless you have wireless internet on a laptop by the car.

Are you doing all the work yourself? After your T-78 install who's doing your tuning?

Good luck dude...want to see it when you are done...

 

Another tip...The bracket that your passenger side Apexi intake mounted to (the one right below below the relays) can be used to mount your AST. I did it and it works great.

 

Jason, I got your fax of the instructions. But they don't have a page listing the parts. Do you have a page that tells me what number each part is? The instructions refer to the brackets by part#.Thanks,

Brady

 

Yea I do have that page. I can fax it over in the morning. Which bracket are you talking about?
Greddy finally gives english instructions with their intercooler kits.

Jason

 

Yeah, I will need all the luck I can get. I am doing all the work myself. I will be glad when I get finished with it. Thanks for the link to the site with the photos.

Brady

 

I think I will have RP in Dallas do the Dyno tuning for me. I can get a map from a friend to get me by until I can get my car down there.

 

Thanks Jason, I wasn't really talking about a specific bracket. I haven't started on it yet. I am taking the pipe to have my BOV adapter welded on tomorrow. My car is my daily driver so I really can't tear it apart until I have everything together. After I get the welding done I will tackle the intercooler job. If you will please fax that page over in the morning. Do you still have my fax#? I have been studing the pages you faxed over Friday evening. I really appreciate your help.

Brady

 

Cool.
Send me an email in the morning to remind me. I will forget otherwise
If you have any questions when installing it give me a call. I have installed a bunch of them and can help out.

Jason

 

Hey Brad,
Since your car is your daily driver you should try and have a friend help you...even if they don't know anything...it will make it go faster.

 

Yeah, I have already voluntered my little brother to help me. He just doesn't know it yet. He loves my car as much as I do so I am pretty sure he will be glad to help.
I just hope I can get the welding done today.

 

Jason, I am still waiting on that fax.
Thanks,

 

I got the BOV adapter welded on yesterday. It came out really nice.

 

Jason, I got that fax.
Thanks,

 

You know we are expecting picture progress reports right?

 

I am almost finished installing this thing in my car. This kit will work on an auto just in case anybody was wondering. On the auto you have trans coolant running through the bottom of the radiator too.

 

You can make the piping work for the t78. You just have to cut the two pipes to make them fit. Worked out really well.

 

Did anyone have any problems making their hood prop work or is it just the center vent on my scoot hood getting in the way?

 

And yes the instructions do SUCK. It is just one big 3D puzzle.

 

HEy Brady, just posting what I sent you via e-mail since I thought it may help someone else with this prob.

At first I did but then you have to loosen up the hose clamp on the pipe that's going to that drivers side of the IC (the big fat coupler) and push the pipe further down towards the intercooler...I had to do quite a bit of massaging to get it to fit ....After that it fits nicely but still close...The pipe coming from the greddy elbow needs to be flat...it has two bends, one bend close to the pipe that's on the IC and then another bend before it goes into the greddy elbow coupler...when it's inplace make sure that bend closest to the IC isn't sticking up at all as it will rub on the hood and cause the hood prop to not fit properly...however I did bend mine a bit before all the massaging...Hope this makes some sense to you..

 

makes sense to me!

 

This web site says it is easiest to reach the highest nut out of the three under the headlight by removing the headlight cover, but I found it alot easier to just reach inside the car and push that little button and make them raise up. Then you have perfect easy access to these nuts.

Yeah, after I removed the covers I realized that too...I got all three from behind the fender with a small ratchet and a long extension...Man, I wish I had a garage where I could open my own RX-7 shop...
