How about coolant temps now? In CA we've had 110+ F days and just cruising at 70 on the highway I'm seeing 210F and at stoplights my black magic fan just keeps it from getting hotter..doesn't do much about the cooling :P Could be because of my 3" thick fmic..maybe I'll go v mount.

Yep, my coolant stays at or around 180-195!

Amazing work and quality put into that, the results are nice!

Other than the IC's angle, to be honest, your configuration is very similar to the OEM setup on the FD. The ducting is by far superior and contributes a lot to cooling ability I'm sure.

What condition is your radiator in?

Maybe the black magic isn't covering enough surface area on your radiator. How about one of those mighty Taurus fans?

SmogSUX: Black magic fan thermostat doesn't go low enough, maybe 200F. I noticed this when I was trying to set mine on my last '7. Otherwise it's nice. And don't forget the Mazda OEM thermostat (for coolant) if you don't have one. Makes a huge difference.

Not really. Would you rather I posted a new thread to ask the same thing? Don't be ridiculous.

I just purchase the rotary works v-mount kit. Will be starting a build thread in a couple of weeks. I know of a few issues with the kit, but plan on taking pictures through out the whole process. Every FMIC kit has it's own issues. So I said **** it. Mind as well vmount it.

Btw- nice build yourself. What turbo are you using?

This may be the first thread that after a 4 year resurrection the OP is still around and active.
