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?

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.

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
