cheers

Hi Mate,

Thanks.

Radiator is vertical just behind the intercooler. I have not been able to attend anything since rotorstock...looks like its next years events for me, monthly meets could get a bit expensive when you live in Edinburgh!

If you decide to go ahead then i can send you more pics info if you need..

Cheers

Why, are they supposed to be a pain in the arse to fit properly?? :confused:

Lots of intercooler kits are a pain, i dont think its specific to the RE v-mount. And since no one (or hardly any one at least) has tried fitting one over here yet I wouldnt worry about it too much!

I am not sure, but just praying for you.

Hello mate,

Hmm, yeah Edinburgh is more than a short throw away from my neck of the woods!  :rolleyes:   Thabks for the gesture of photos - might just take you up on that!

Ive seen a universal  intercooler (26" x 12" x 3.5") with the pipe connections at the top for a change, which is meant to take up to 500bhp.  Its about a third the price of the Greddy FMIC which is almost exactly the same size and looks pretty similar.  What do you recon?  Is there any reason I should buy a RX-7 TT specific unit?

cheers

Hi mate,

I don\'t think Forge do a specific one for the FD and thats the make of my intercooler. I don\'t think it has to be FD specific. At the end of the day if you can get it to fit nicely into the airflow and the pipes are fitted and secure enough then you shouldn\'t have a problem when its mapped (again i am no expert so ask someone in the know)

Good luck with what you decide

No problem if you need photos or help, just give me a shout

Cheers

Cheers Donato.  That\'s a great help.  I think I\'m gonna try and get myself an AFOS FMIC.  Pipes may be a little tight tho so I\'ll need to look more thoroughly at my options.  If I get stuck I\'ll give you a shout!     Cheers again.
