I'd take a look at the Defined Autoworks V-mount instead. Seems to be a better unit with better Quality Control and business ownership: https://www.rx7club.com/group-buy-product-dev-fd-rx-7-269/defined-autoworks-v-mount-kit-here-948176/

Bump.
Any updates? I'm very interested in getting this kit soon, looks like its been coming together smoothly so far its coming along ok...i just didnt have much time lately to work on the car... there are some modifications needed...as the one with the radiator fans... one of the IC brackets will need to be grinded down lil bit in one section...nothing to complicated ... only problem i see is - radiator hose might be lil to close to the engine oil cooler lines looks like it might rub (didn't test ).... way around it would be welding in a 90 degree aluminum elbow or get after market single or dual oil coolers upgrade...with AN lines there will be more then enough room... i do not run a/c .....if you wanna keep you a/c you would need to make up your own brackets.... will complicate things lil bit... as soon as i get done with my instal i will post up instructions with PIC and materials needed |
worked on the car lil bit today
still waiting on my Rad hose...but here is the pic...so you can see how close the Rad outlet is to oil cooler lines... http://memberfiles.freewebs.com/61/8...409_192621.jpg her is the pic of the bracket and where it needs to be grinded down (from the mark on the left to mark on the right ..) http://memberfiles.freewebs.com/61/8...409_165855.jpg i am doing my own piping on driver side as i will use TIAL 50mm bov and not the bov that was in the kit... http://memberfiles.freewebs.com/61/8...409_192518.jpg |
in this pic u can see i will have enough room to run some cold air to the turbo intake

serbRX7, your project seems to be coming along nice, that's too bad that you're not able to use the piping that came in the kit because of the dumb flange that comes pre-welded on it for an HKS bov. I too was wanting to go with a tial |

I'm leaning towards that kit now...I can't get a reply back from Rotary-Works after e-mailing them questions about their kit.

I too was wanting to go with a tial originally i called them up and asked them if i can just get intercooler and radiator with brackets...as i didn't want that fake hks bov or the piping...they told me no...so i do not think they make the kit they just sell it but if you can make your own brackets they do sell that intercooler (300$) and radiator (250$) separately |
Those were my main question I had emailed them about, with no response.
I'm not too good at any custom fabrication, so I think I'm going to research more about the Defined-Autoworks kit. |
as you can see in the pic and after a try the rad hose wont fit with stock oil line
http://memberfiles.freewebs.com/61/8...409_192621.jpg so plan is to install dual oil coolers setup ....much needed as the stock oil cooler is really beat up...or at least that's what i tell my self lower rad hose will need to be cut and you will need radiator hose connector... as the hose will need to be extended lil bit... i found a connector at this link its 1.5"x6" unit ... i think it might be bit to long ...will have to take some more measurements..... but if you know anyone that's selling 4" or 5" unit let me know... |

i managed to install the RAD hose with stock oil cooler...
you just need to unbolt the lower oil line and move the hose down as far as it can go and then tighten the bolt...gives it some room... almost done ....thing i got left to do fuse box relocation -- still trying to work out where to place it need to extend wires to rad fans welding in TIAL bov and a bracket for methanol pump in A/C location i didnt have much problems instaling the kit some grinding and cutting and relocating some components aditional bolts and nuts are needed and radiator hose expect 100-200$ in installation with hiden cost i must have whent out to auto zone 15 -20 times but my main complaint is with intercooler piping and fake sqv bov and that just makes the kit not worth buying... as you can see i still got the kit but thats just becouse i had extra piping and Tial bov on hand that i could use.... pic http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...507222246.jpg/ |
for undertray to fit with stock fans - get propane torch and heat up 3 metal studs and it comes right of -
