rx7 FMIC without modifying the radiator position

Ok I've been searching FMIC for a while now .

I've got a universal FMIC making hte mounts wont be a problem ,


BUT Relocating the radiator verticle , would be a big PINTA

is it really needed to relocate the radiator vertically ?

yes it would, you would need a place for the hot and cold pipes from the intercooler to reach your turbos and intake. You would need to mount the radiator in a 90 degree position and relocate your battery to the back or get a smaller battery that will fit in the bay.

i would think so considering this is going to be your set up <l\

with people having airflow issues with it standing up, i would think by now, someone would of came up with the idea to just leave it as is. you should try it out and see what happens.

i mean it doesnt completely have to be at a 90 degree angle. tilt it enough to where you have enough clearance for the intercooler pipes.

APEXi doesnt move the radiator position and allows you to keep the stock bumper in place and NOT trim it like greddy
