I started fitting greddy front mount today comes with all pipes and brackets.
I have fitted the power steering pipe repositioned the rad to its upright position now I am stuck to how to move the ac rad to the upright position as well.
After removing the brackets that hold it in place there does not seem to be any movement in the pipe work to allow it to stand up sorry if it’s a bit vague.
Has anyone done it or have any pics to give me some idea .:confused:
Any thoughts would be great
Thanks
better add that the jap instuctions are not much help i am only able to guess by looking at the sketches i have worked out the bracket positions just cant work out how to get it there lol

I will be posistioning my rad like this when I have time, my ac rad is currently in an upright position in front of my main rad and I dont like restricting air flow that much.
Let me have you mail address and I will forward some images of my setup, O and the pipes for the AC do bend just take you time and it does need a lot of force to bend them.
I am sure a link for the instructions ai avaliable as well form the above link

Cheers mate
thanks for your quick reply

I think i will look at bending them so it sits flat dont like the idea of bending one way to then bend it back again at a later date.
The only thing i can think that may be an issue is that the IC pipes are fed from the bottom and it sits where the horn is
Might be a bit late. but this might be of some use..

Just in time very usefull,
Thanks:guinness
Managed to get it all fitted and back up and running tonight :wiggle
Very impressed with the kit if i had to do another it would be a lot quicker shame the instructions are in jap.
The only thing i changed was to drop the AC rad down rather than keep it with the rad.
Every thing is very tight no room to move anything about not sure how an uprated rad will fit without changing the fans quite glad i deceided to leave that for another time.
One thing i still have to figure out is how to get the air filter back on no room for it where it was hence the cable tie over the sponge.:eek:
Thanks to Lee and Adam for there help cheers guys:Thumbsup!
Good job looks nice and neat, how did you find the AC rad posistion got any pics as I was going to do this with mine now.
Do you have twin oil coolers?
I moved my filtes to below the drivers light (loads of cold air:)
Heres a pic, its just two sets of standard alloy replacment rx7 tubing of ebay to extend it far enough
But I only have one oil cooler :(
cheers
Hi Lee,
Yes i have twin oil coolers so no chance of doing the same bud.
When i released the brackets from the AC rad it kind of droped to where it now sits only required a little force to move it completely flat alot less than if i had tried to lift it with the rad.
Have yet to try the undertray back on and still need a couple of extra brackets for the AC rad and while the nose is off i am repairing it and give it a fresh coat of paint.
Will take some more pics at the weekend and post later
cheers
Nice job, im wanting either one of these or a vmount, reckon one of these a be more than enough for what i want to do :)
Im removing the aircon so guessin it a be an easy job to fit?
Just a quick update
repared the front nose and painted it very happy with it:chat
had a bit of a night mare refitting the nose had to keep taking it off to trim it between showers :reallymad
Now the AC rad is horizontal the undertray wont fit with the brackets i made up so have left it off for now.
Taken it out a couple of times water temps seem to be up 89-92 which for this time of year i would of expected to be lower:3Confused
Appart from that all good just need to get it remapped before i can give it some stick:bandit
i hate to be a downer but those water temps are what to expect when u put a front mount on.you are going to find in warmer weather on cruise u might get lucky at about 89-90 but stop for a minute and say hello to 94deg very quickly.front mounts are untouchable for low intake temps but u pay a price with water temp,u will have to get ur fans altered to come on at 94 or lower to keep ur temps down.my fmic water temps were allways 89-90 but stop for a minute and 94deg again.i went fmic/c/cooler but have now gone for vmount not tested yet.imho better to have a higher intake temp and control it with water inj than running the engine at higher water temps.there will be contrasting opinions on this but its qwuite simple cut down airflow and temp will rise

Thanks for that i was a little worried that something wasnt quite right.
i did look into the v-mount but cost and i the fact i want to keep the AC made me go for the front mount next on the list will be rad upgrade
Cheers
Holy Crap!!! In October I was lucky if I saw water temps of over 82!!! Have you fitted an uprated radiator. mines a Koyo n-flo and its seems to be great!!! I also have an apexi intercooler and that\'s suppossed to be good for air-flow
