Will i need to move my radiator for FMIC?
I see some people with fmic have moved there radiators upright as apposed to the stock mount slanted forward. I do have a koyo aluminum radiator with fan upgrade. In order to fit my fmic will i need to turn my radiator upright or what is the purpose of this? Some one please educate me?

there is no room if you leave the radiator in the stock placement.
|
i would just like to know how to used this forum how to post a question and lot more thank u
|
ok how do i turn it upright? Is there a kit?
|
Usually if you buy an FMIC the relocation brackets and hoses come with the FMIC kit. My HKS FMIC was that way.... When you pick a FMIC find out if it comes with everything to relocate the radiator.

Yeah i didnt buy a name brand intercooler kit so i guess im going to have to do some custom work to relocate the radiator. Unless some one knows where i can get the new hoses and brackets.

Does the rad work better V mounted or upright??? I have the choice of either but would like to do it the best way.
I'm running a chargecooler so space isn't a problem. |
surely there is sqadillions of threads covering this going back to like 1897, do a search

I Can weld and cut metal but would rather try to find brackets it would make evertythin g a lot easier. Alsoj a few weeks ago i tried removing the radiator because i had a leak. I got everything out except for the radiator. It seemed loose and it wasnt bolted in i just couldnt get it out of the stock mount position. Anyone know how to get it out?

that's actually not true. I was at my mechanic's this weekend and there was this customer's car with a FMIC and had a stock radiator in the stock location. It was being worked on so I don't know the final configuration but it sure does fit. The radiator is moved upright for better airflow (in the FMIC configuration). |

Mines not an HKS, its a Greddy. The kit did come with all the brackets, but i still had to cut the brackets and bent them to get it right. Hope it helps Hai |
I have the old rx7 fashion intercooler setup with the apexi core. It allows for the radiator to be stock mounted. :)
