[allstaruk]

Hi ya guys

I am in the process of fitting my greddy front mount I have removed the radiator and have bent the air con condersor so it now sits vertically what do you do with the pipe that runs in front of it, it doesn\'t seem to want to move?

Any suggestions lads.

i started mine today too! didnt get as far as you though, i bottled it when i realised i had to move rad etc!!!

So if any1 has fitting instructions that are in english or could write a step by step guide that would be great (especially for me, I`m a bit dumb when it comes to this kinda thing!!!) :Hammer :cheers

Hang on I\'ve got some instructions just doens\'t say anything about moving these pipes.

thanks for the link. have you uprated your radiator? is it worth doing?

U`ve been busy, i went for a McDonalds and got the missus a valentines card, much easier!

What else are you doing besides fitting the fmic?

[allstaruk]

You don\'t want to know but I\'ll give you a hint anyway.

Removing UIM butterflies and porting,
Changing primary injectors to 850\'s
Fitting -6 braided fuel hose and aeroquip connectrs
Fitting FPR
Polishing UIL/LIM/Intercooler/Pipes
Painting everything else
Fitting Radtech radiator
Fitting Downpipe
Fitting Profec B II boost controller
Fitting apexi induction kit
Moving battery to storage bin
Changing all suspension bushes
Finish setting up coilovers
Fitting Water Injection

I\'m sure there is a lot more but I can\'t rember it all of the top of my head.

And yes uprating the radiator is inportant the cooling is a weak spot on rx7\'s

Do you meen the s shaped one if so,it should be a replaced with a different piece see pic

[allstaruk]

I didn\'t get that bit at all any ideas where I can get one, also what does it do?

Alan

[dwarfslapper]

Iirc its the power steering pipe.I purchased the whole kit from Reworx so cant help on where to get one.
Its nothing special tho you should be able to get one made up or try Reworx
Hope that helps

[allstaruk]

Anyone got any idea\'s then? I take it the loop is just to coolt the powersteering fluid?

[Jono FD3]

Just a thought.... but if it\'s to cool the power steering fluid, would it be worth putting an oil cooler in there instead of the twisty pipe to cool the steering fluid???

[allstaruk]

Its not a bad though, infact if you look at the other thread I started this is thie idea i came up with earlier.

Just seen this thread. What ever you do don\'t hide it away. It will overheat in traffic and kill the powersteering pump through excess heat.

I bought a mini rad from aus, but you can get standard oil coolers that will do the same.



Its all low pressure lines so you can remove the original loop and replumb with standard pipe. Makes steering more reponsive too. The oil never overheats so the feedback feels even better
