Hey everyone about to install a front mount on the FD I need an Idea on how to mount this thing and wheater I need to cut the core support or not. Also will I need to trim away at my front bumper?


Please post your install pic's here with out the front bumper and with.

Thanks everyone

 

this is how i did it...

 

and some ducting...

 

looks good man.

 

i have a greddy FMIC and a Cwest front. I ended up mounting the core about 2"-3" lower than where greddy designed it for because it left a 2" gap at the bottom opening of the cwest bumper. i had to get a 6" coupler for one hotside pipe and cut just a small section out to the left of the relay box in the front of the car. its a tight *** fit with my koyo, but it works. I also had to trim around 3" off the opening of the bumper

 

Be careful with the hard mounting of the radiator as in pic #3. There are 2 issues to look out for:
1. The chassis may flex slightly up there and if you hard mount it directly to the metal it will twist the rad ever so slightly causing it to develop a hair line crack over time (happened to me).
2. Its good to have some kind of vibration damping so your rad isn't getting rattled around as that can also cause some cracking.

Looks good though. Nice ducting.

 

Blitz FMIC with stainless steel wire mesh in front for rock protection (hard to see), removed plastic nose corner pieces with custom blocking plates on the sides, and single shark tooth nose mod (idea from Brad Barber).

 

Glad to see another person protecting their IC from rock damage.

 

Anymore install/Installed pic's?

GREAT INFO!!

 

Here is mine, didnt even have to move the Koyo

This is all custom, everything is hand made by myself

 

This was my old setup with the Greddy 2 row 24v IC. I only had to trim a little out of the back side of the opening in the front bumper so everything would fit well enough until I could put my FEED front end on.



** All that oil was from the install of my Gotham Racing Dual-oil cooler kit btw.
This is my current Greddy 2 row 24v setup.

And for the record to all the useless post ******, I am AWARE of the gap in my hood as well as the hanging wiring harnesses for the turn signals. All that will be fixed in due time. Nuff' said.

 

LMAO Sweet stuff so it seems as tho we dont need the touch the core support.

 

looks good nut13b...

hey 13foxtrot, are u aware that you hood needs realigned? j/k

 

these pics are few years old...

By 93 Blk FD back when it ran...

 

here a couple pics of mine its 30x12x4" BIG. removed the stock popup lights and ran the piping thru. didnt cut the chassis but needed to trim off a little bit off of the bumper, it is 4" thick dont know about 3"

 

Wow wow wow Woman you'll dent the wing !!!! LOL

 

Looks nice, but any particular reason the bottom right pic has RX-7 written backwards, like the image has been flipped? But that would then make it right hand drive?

 

 

^ That is sooooo clean, i love it.

 

What do u have under you hood?? because my stock one is ripping and i need something new so my hood dont get stained black

 

my crappy car

 

Yeah, it is pretty crappy.. Let me take it off your hands. I'll trade you my 93 VR for it. It's got a fresh rebuilt motor

 

That's a LOT of piping you got there...



Nuvolari, That is a clean setup you got there, looks nice.

 

Man those headlights are so sexy I think I might sell mine and get those.

 

Herblenny, that is a killer setup. I wish mine would get a girl like that!
