Intercooler

**Lotte** · 03-12-2007, 02:59 PM

I was wondering what's your opinion for the best Intercooler for the Stock Twins? I'm going to get the Greddy Elbow so it has to fit.

**13Bracer** · 03-12-2007, 11:34 PM

yeah im startin to look at the greddy front mounts but i dont know?

hows the car runnin?

**Lotte** · 03-13-2007, 12:04 AM

Yeah, I was thinking about getting the Greddy one. Well the car is in my driveway now. Runs better than the first time.

But damn RX-7store still didn't send me my Y-pipe and Brake Lines. Been waiting for like 3 weeks now.

How about you? Did you get your parts yet?

Five*Star* · 03-13-2007, 08:18 AM

don't go front mount unless you are running a big single turbo. Side (stock) mount is the easiest and cheapest option. V-mount is the ultimate, but pretty pricey. If you guys are interested in a V-mount, give me a call.

**Lotte** · 03-13-2007, 11:51 AM

damn. Front Mount looks so nice though.

I'll give you a call today about the V-Mount.

You need to live in a different apartment. How long were they going to hold the parts. Whata bunch of dicks.

**Lotte** · 03-15-2007, 12:15 PM

My differentials are worned out so I don't think I can launch my car anytime soon. But I can meet you up and go there together.

**Twinnos** · 03-16-2007, 10:57 AM

rx7 store just got those greddy mspec fmic kits in and its only $530.00!!

**Lotte** · 03-16-2007, 01:44 PM

What's the difference between the M-Spec Core and the V-Spec Core?

i was told that the "bars" that are in them are different but they are basically the same and its a greddy. you may have to get a smaller battery, a greddy elbow and a bov (which they sell as well) but for that price you cant beat it.

**halfshaft5** · 03-18-2007, 07:36 AM

I used upgraded SMIC for a while and had good success with it, definate improvment, I built a car, the red one in my Avater and when the guy who bought it saw it and wanted it really bad so I took everthing off my car and put the stock stuff back on for a while, been a year now, and have a full intent to do a FMIC. I say if you have the money get a front mount, AC needs to be gutted but heck AC on these cars sucks so bad, it not worth having anyway. Just my .02 worth. God Bless

**halfshaft5** · 03-18-2007, 07:40 AM

Also most the front mounts require the battery relocation mod too, I used the small yellow top Optima battery for the upgraded stock mount intercooler to clear it, I will see if I can find pics of it. I have a SMIC setup if anyone is intereseted too that I will not need but its not the for sale section, so I will post it up there later. Anyway, good luck.

**Lotte** · 03-18-2007, 08:19 PM

Can you post some pictures of the SMIC setup?

**halfshaft5** · 03-20-2007, 06:58 AM

Cant find pics of it installed but here it is, I no longer have the tubing to it. Sorry.

**Type-R** · 03-21-2007, 10:16 AM

i've been using a trust fmic for the past 3 years on one of my fd's and it's worked flawlessly.

**Lotte** · 03-21-2007, 03:02 PM

Do they work on stock twins?

**13Bracer** · 03-24-2007, 05:59 PM

lookin around and found this site....http://www.fujita-eng.com/fd3s/index_2.html

yeah, that's the FEED website.... but anything JDM for an FD is going to be very expensive. ie. $800 for a downpipe, $200 for plug wires, $1200 for a hood, etc...

If you take 2 zeros of of the price it will get you a fairly close idea of what the USD amount would look like. A yen is like .85 of a penny.

lol

installing the fmic is actually pretty easy, you could do it yourself in 1 day with a good set of tools and a drill with a few bits. the hardest thing you'll have to do is change out the power steering line, everything else is just hook pipe 1-2 to 2-2 etc. the instruction book pretty much tells you everything and even has pictures hehe.

EDIT - also forgot you'll need to get a recipricating saw to cut down about 2 inches from the front bumper to allow for the fmic to have room. but still easy and only a 1 day job for someone who's never done it

**Twinnos** · 03-23-2007, 06:52 PM

shyt all my instructions are in japanese!?!?! im sure mike can handle it. thanks though. i will post pics of engine when done.

still waiting on my greddy elbow with bov flange

**halfshaft5** · 03-24-2007, 12:12 AM

Any body else thinking the RX7 store is getting a little rediculous with the prices since Christmas, I mean, dang, some things have tripled in price. Just an observation. BTW anyone need any thing for a3rd gen, got 2 parts cars if anyone is needing something since Iam coming down. Just shoot me a PM and I will get you a price and whatnot. God bless
