Radiator and SMIC for FD, choices?

As the title says, what's the best stock mount intercoolers available today for the FD? Battery will be relocated, also what kits come with proper ducting.
And I'll also need a new rad for starters. Thinking about Koyo, either the "regular" or the Heavy duty version.
Any input appreciated.

The key word is "available today" when shopping for SMICs. I have a great Blitz SMIC but I bought it used and I hear they have been out of production. Plus you're in Voss Norway - what country / brands are available to you?

Pettit's stuff is good and readily available. I'd definitely look into that if you can't find something in EU. I know there is a UK rotary forum somewhere. Don't know which country the exchange rate works in your favor.

You could also try finding them used here in the classified section of the forum. Just make sure the seller is legit and has good feedback.

For radiator, I'm a big fan of the Fluidyne. It bolts in w/o any fitment issues and works very well.


Another very reliable vendor is rx7.com. http://rx7.com/store/rx7/fdintercooler.html
