I wish this thread was around a couple of months ago. I got it figured out anyway.

^^ Nice custom setup. Have you actually used it yet? What kind of temps are you seeing?

Trigger the pump with a hobbs switch or something.

Hope you did not solid mount your rad... it looks like it in those pics.

Sunburn: I'm glad it's not MY car. Lol. I'd beat someone with a sway bar if they did me like that and i paid for it.....

whats wrong with solid mount?
mine's bolted, with insulating foam stripping on the support bar. it's definitely not moving at all.

if you're referring to permanently mounting it to the chassis, then yea eff that.

Zenki FC3S

Yea but that looks aluminum...

You cant weld that to the chassis

T2mike222

Sunburn, your probably right should be mounted on rubber or something. But it was mounted solid all of last season with no issues. but if it cracks and starts to leak ill send you a check for your .02. lucky for me nopistons i built it my self so i
dont have to beat anyone. Sorry for sharing my shitty design.

Just mount it on some rubber bushings and you'll be fine -if you did the other fab work then it really should not be a big deal.

thats where i was going with it.

Where I was going is that if you solid mount it (not weld) to the chassis there is no give in it when the chassis flexes... you run the risk of cracking the core from it being twisted and pulled on.

yea no doubt. i wouldn't want mine like that out of sheer common sense.
my setup is sick. super pumped with how it turned out. i used a smaller width core, and tied it in to the chassis with thin gauge aluminum to act as ducting solely instead of making some cage deal to hold it in place to the chassis.

in all honesty though if he had a front support bar like mine tied into the frame rails, with the engine bay being stitched theres only about a foot of frame rail to flex between the subframe, and that support bar. all of which is before the suspension so it's not moving at all... unless it piles and smashes everything... at that point, well we all know **** would need replaced.

even Ryan's setup has a piece of DOM securing the frame rails. if you've ever cut up an FC you'll know how thick the front frame rails are. it's nothing like a swiss cheese 240.

Damn my **** is collecting dust. Almost done tho. Just need another U bend

yo hook it up with the thread style for the -10's going into the front cover, and rear iron. i tried taking banjo bolts in to compare thread sizing but nothing seems to match up. really not trying to rethread anything..

it's not a bad design. I'd just be afraid of cracking/breaking something with it mounted in such a stiff manner. You dont want your rad to move but you dont want it to function as a support structure either. Kinda looks like what it's doing unless you have a strut tower bar or something. Our chassis flex ALOT. (maybe more lengthwise than side to side though) I can't see the whole car, just your radiator. Wasn't trying to make you cry or anything....

My oil cooler is at a weird angle. Gotta make a under tray that ties into a bash bar. A bender would help get my **** crackin...

Zenki FC3S

Getting there. Some soap and water. Maybe a lil poilsh...

Damn I need to finish this ****

looks good but why would you choose to mount the oil cooler there and not in the FD OEM location(s)?

Zenki FC3S

-8 ss braided line is like $7 a foot. But yea weird spot

Your car is coming along for sure! ^

my car fell off the jack trying to load it onto the trailer. so i'm in the middle of redoing my radiator core. the core always sucked, so it's not a big deal justt annoying. photos will come soon. thankfully it didnt kill my $400 fan.

im running a 30 row oil cooler on the front left. (going to dual setup soon just -an's are crazy to go dual initially)

so after everything you bought for this set up you cheaped out on 50$ worth of SS hose?

Racing beat oil cooler lines are -10. that's what i use.
