I have no experience with Rotary Works...

But if you are looking for a V-mount kit for your FD, I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Rotary Extreme's kit. I recently purchased & installed their single turbo "track" kit and I couldn't be happier with it. I have yet to see how it performs as my GT35r project is still being wrapped up. However, the kit's fitment & quality was second to NONE! The provisions to easily keep A/C and the addition of a PS cooler are a few of the great components. Not to mention that EVERY piece is polished & looks gorgeous!

Their kit is excellent quality & Ben's customer service is nothing but INCREDIBLE!!

It will be getting much praise when my build thread goes up. Here is a picture of it installed....

A teaser if you will ;)

I bought just their vmount radiator and am pleased. For the price it wasn't to far off having my koyo modified and it is much thicker. It has mounts to retain factory fan setup.

serbRX7 10-16-10 09:00 PM

plz post up only about rotary-works

Rotary Extreme nice stuff but they are just lil bit overpriced in my opinion

i do not run AP, PS or A/C

rotary-works price of 900$ for v-mount is not to bad

XLR8 10-16-10 09:09 PM

No worries.

Went on the website and it seems really good
I was gonna get the vkit from rx7store but now I think I'm gonna give rotaryworks a call
I say op buy it and cine share the experience

I saw this on their website the other day. It looks pretty decent and especially for the price.

I do not have their v-mount kit, but I did purchase some oil coolers from them and I have been very pleased so far. Quality was excellent.

if it is anything like their kit for the 2nd gen I would look else where. I had their kit on my 2nd gen and it was far from a complete kit.. They also had the lower radiator neck mounted so low. It was the lowest part on my car, and it scraped on speed bumps.....no exactly what you want to have happening alot.

e46m3smg 10-17-10 09:17 PM

Both necks are on top of the fd setup,the only thing on the bottom of their radiator is the drain and at the angle I mocked mine up at it wasn't any lower than the bottom tank

yea i have seen your thread about that...it looked really bad

i see you managed to fix the problem it looks nice


fd mounting brackets are much simpler then the setup you got for FC

and both rad necks are on top of rad.....

could you take some pic of your setup

e46m3smg 10-17-10 11:04 PM

Only the ic is mounted right Now the rad is just temp in place I am going a slightly different route and trying to incorporate a fresh air to the turbo. Once things get closer I will add pics here and on my build thread.

serbRX7 03-01-11 12:46 PM

ok i have purchased rotary works v-mount kit and will be installing it soon

just got the intercooler and the brackets in today still waiting for rad

intercooler looks good...brackets - good...piping - good will take some fitting do to my turbo sitting much higher do to exhaust manifold...but i think it would work perfect with HKS manifold....SQV bov - i do not think its hks - i think its just cheap replica but i will test it out see if it works - but i will go with my 50mm TIAL bov regardless .... check out my build thread for progress...

here is quick mock up PIC

I am subscribing to this thread to see the outcome of this kit since there was a build thread before with many problems. I'm hoping they saw and corrected their mistakes.

rad cam in this morning ..you can see all the mounting tabs in the pic looks good it meant to be used with stock fan...

i will need to weld up a nipple at the top of the rad as i do not run AST..

its cold up here in rochester ny so as soon as i get a warm day i will install it...

Buy the silicone coupler that downsizes instead of fabbing one

oppa637 03-02-11 08:02 PM

some people cut the greddy elbow where it's 3" and weld a lip on it.

rx7rcer09 03-03-11 01:19 PM

There is one for sale on the forum for cheap. I was actually going to pick it up but passed on it.

SWAT81 03-05-11 01:46 AM

any updates?

serbRX7 03-05-11 07:20 PM

worked on it lil bit today

mostly on mocking up the rad with brackets and modifying the fans lil bit to fit on the rad

there is going to be some cutting needed for the fans to work...nothing to hard or difficult for any one to do...

so far everything fits no problems...brackets are simple and easy to install...i did need to go out and get some bolts and washers...

i just need to relocate my AEM water injection , reclock turbo and to put under-tray back on

here is the link to more pic

SWAT81 03-07-11 12:49 AM
