Alright so ive had a fluidyne radiator in my car for a while and just got my apexi fmic. The ic went in with ease and now i cant get the radiator to fit right. Has anyone done this with a fluidyne before.

 

Do you have a write up on the Apexi FMIC install? I'll be installing that when I get the time along with my koyo rad...

 

The ic itself is really easy im having trouble with the fluidyne tho. Basically there is 3 brackets for the apexi one on top that mounts to the frame where the stock ic duct bolts to. Then one on each side that goes to where the stock radiator went where the top of the radiator went. Anyone do the setup with the fluidyne?????

 

goracer did one a while back search under his name. i have the same setup also. basically you have to make your own brackets to hold the radiator in place. i just took the brackets they give you and bent them into shape for it to fit.

 

With a big front mount, where are your guys aftermarket radiators mounted, and how? I have the cool charge 3, and I want to get tubes to front mount the beast but dont know what to do with radiator. I can get it mounted with custom stuff, but what angle, position is it mounted?

 

they stand upright instead of at an angle like stockers.

 

apex i sent you a pm with some more questions

 

I could not understand the backwards Japanese instructions. When I tried to mount the radiator verticle the bottom of it was below the swaybar which is unnacceptible to me. I used the mounting brackets but bent them at different angles. The radiator is angled somewhat like in the Blitz kit now. I was only able to secure the top with one bracket in the center. The Fluidyne has fixed brackets on the sides and can not be rotated as per the instructions. If you want to cut, rotate, reweld the bracets then maybe you can secure the top sides. If I ever get two races done, i'll be switching to Mazdacomp and secure it better. Oh, I also had to cut off the radiator mounts on the swat bars, notch those two stands on each side that hold the aluminum bar with holes that secure the A/C lines and actually I ditched that bar and I notched the plastic radiator fan bracket corners. I don't have my A/C reconnected as I still have to relocate the battery (won't fit with rad at angle) in order to fit the condensor.

 

I used the one bracket up on top that they gave me but for the two on the bottom, I took
the new brackets and bolted them to the old ones (let me know if I confused you)
