Yes, but using an upgraded radiator doesn't typically cause problems with cooling.

 

apneablue, i ordered the koyo+greddy and already have my airnix on

thanks for the inspiration

 

Gees apneablue that looks toit like a toiga! Very nice....

 

ahhhhhhhhhhhh so sexy

 

You gonna like! I am runnin 10-11 PSI and it feels like 14...It just pulls and pulls and pulls...I think I am putting down somewhere around 280rwhp and feels so freaking fast...It's hard to imagine what driving a 500rwhp FD would feel like.

That's godda be my favourite quote from the movie too

Thanks

 

whee, fedex says it arrives tomorrow

 

Kool dude...if you have any questions about the install I have photos and such that I took along the way so hit me up if you need help.

You runnin the Airinx yet? like it?

 

yeah i am, it's awesome

 

i had to remove my hood prop, it won't collapse like it used to

is that normal? my pipe number 3/4's connection hits it....

did i do something wrong?

 

nevermind...i got it on

 

i dont have the greddy intercooler im getting the xs engineering original intercooler that looks exactly like the apex for the skyline but i want to position the condensor and radiator upwards where can i get the brackets from as i know the greddy intercooler kit comes with it, thnx

 

I just installed the Greddy FMIC and have been running 92-96 deg C (197F-205F) with a 180 thermostat according to the commander. My temp sending unit was bad before i did the swap so i dont know my temps before the install but I think that is still kinda high.
Anyone else having cooling problems w/ FMIC?

 

92-96 isn't bad. As long as it does go above 110°C

 

your sending unit was bad for your gauge, not the thermosensor for the computer

 

Titanium Cranium, i have same temps

 

the highest its gone in city driving is 99C but after shut down it climbs to 105 ish. I've heard of a "fan mod" that can be done w/ the PFC...is that just a matter of adjusting the temp correction or is it something else?

 

you ground out a wire on the wiring harness and the fans turn on, i use it quite often

 

why don't you just figure out how to work the thing so you can turn your fans on earlier....

 

I believe he's gonna need the datalogit to set teh PFC to turn the fans on early....Right?

 

I've got teh Apexi GT FMIC and it barely fit too... Wound up damaging the radiator while I was putting the FMIC in... good reason to buy and put in an aluminum koyo radiator.

911GT2, it sure as hell does limit the airflow to the radiator.. mine was sitting right in front blocking it. Good reason to upgrade the radiator... a 7 can never be cool enuf.

I must note... before the radiator rubbed against the FMIC and started leaking.. I didnt have any overheatnig problems with the FMIC blocking the radiator...

 

I installed my miata battery in the middle of August. It was fine for the first couple of months but now it seems to charge at about 1/10th the previous rate and it doesn't hold a charge for more than 2 days. I've spoken to a couple other people that have had similar problems. If your experience is similar let us know.

Good luck,
