r-magic ac condenser
 

hey guys wanted to know if anyone ever ran this before its a smaller but thicker condenser from r magic that gives more room for airflow to the radiator wanted to get some feedback if anyone used it

I've seen similar ones on Yahoo Japan Auctions and wondered if they were any good too. "HPI Radiator Rescue"

HPI ??????????? FD3S RX-7*Radi RX7 - Yahoo!?????? - ????!

nice find my main concern is the fittings i have an r1 and from what i remember the r1/r2 and base had one style ac and the touring had another connector wise or something like that

R Magic GARAGE / FD??????AC??????


To me this suggests they make one with both types of connectors. I guess you'd have to supply a VIN to confirm fitment.

awesome thanks brother

Will it fit a greddy v mount I wonder

I installed this on customer's car before

I would say it looks nice, but it doesn't offer much improved cooling ability, and the A/C performance went down.

Brand new Mazda stock condenser(it's made by denso) cost 360+ shipping. I don't see the point of getting this "2/3 sized" condenser.

picture is the brand new stock Mazda condenser, I forgot to take pic of the r-magic/hpi condenser before.

That's what I was also worried about loosing cooling they said it's a little thick to make up the dif but I guess it don't matter

So long as a condenser mounts to the standard points, then yes it should. The Greddy emulates the standard mount points and provides adapter pipe work for the condenser, albeit for the RHD layout!

I don't think the oem condenser is available anymore. I put the part number into Google and all the sites who list it indicate discontinued

There are lots of aftermarket alternatives for OEM on Yahoo Japan Auctions.

I just got 2 from Mazda Japan, brand new OEM, they are still making it

See the pic I posted above.

I tried most of them, they all suck, and guess what, 1/2 are actually made in China.

You think the parallel flow one is worth the extra money? I'm switching to r134a and they say it isn't as cool as the r12. But maybe with a parallel flow it may help. It's alot of money though. Twice as much or more as the oem condenser.

if I were u I will use R152a instead.

r134a sucks no matter what condenser u uses.

is there any chance they want to ship to europe?

I can ship u 1. But shipping to Euro is $$$$$

Yes, look at the banner ad at the top of the page

????????????FD3S??????? - ?coolingdoor_west???????????????????? - ????!

It's there for all auctions, run by a company called Buyee. They buy then ship onto you.

Another example is rinkya.com

I've used both to buy parts. There are bidding fees, commission and re-delivery to pay for.

Sometime customs applied additional taxes, sometimes they didn't.

I use an RX8 condenser. Has a built in dryer. Works great and costs around $100. You can get them as cheap as $50 but I went with one from Koyo.

So with regards to the rx8 condenser.. is there any modifications required to make the rx7 brackets line up?

^^ also interested :)

Good question. I have this on my v mount so we had to make new brackets anyway. Don't know the answer for OEM.

I have a greddy v mount as well. If the size is the same you can manage to make some custom brackets to mate up with the supplied v-mount brackets

yeah if anyone has info on this that would be clutch
