just got my greddy fmic today with bov. ok so i dont know where to start ive never fabricated or cut into anything for my car so this is a new experience.



is there anyone who has made braces to mount their rad vertivcally who could make me a set so i dont have to ziptie and duct tape the crap outta this crap like when me and martin put his intercooler in my car. if it dont cost too much i would definatly love to have someone send me some prefabed brackets



anyway here are some pics

MazdaMike 04-07-2004 03:30 PM

these things were pretty greasy and the insides had a nice thick coating of gunked up oil makin em pretty unsexy... so i hot bathed em in some dish wash soap and a laundry basket with hot water now they sparkle

heres the intercooler i didnt know what to use to clean it, styrofoam(wow im a bad speller) was caught up inside so i flushed it with hot soapy water a few times from either side and let it dry in the sun for a few hours its laying next to a dehumidifier right now hopefully that will get all the moisture out

They didn't tape the holes up before they packed it up???

Can't help you on a front mount. Looks nice though...

boxrs4sale 04-07-2004 06:33 PM

Rob x-7 04-07-2004 08:22 PM

if you want to add brackets so that you can use it to bolt to the car you can buy some aluminum and tin snips from a metal supply shop like metal supermarket. They charge by weight.



Then get some JBweld, clean teh surface with acetone, tape off any area you do not want the epoxy to get to, then apply and let it sit.



If you are still worried about strength of JBWELD (I WOULD NOT) you can try 3M DP460 high strength epoxy. It is stronger then using real welds in some cases. IT will cost you.

FikseRxSeven 04-07-2004 08:33 PM

well people that dont know how to weld has very little choice

boxrs4sale 04-07-2004 08:40 PM

or just duct tape

Rob x-7 04-07-2004 08:45 PM

duct tape tied in a knot is even better

ne_12 04-07-2004 09:00 PM

if you are going to get it welded, make sure they know what they are doing, aluminum is the hardest thing to weld, i know i fucked up some **** in metal shop learning, haha

rfreeman27 04-07-2004 11:03 PM

Making some RAD brackets is really not a big deal!

MazdaMike 04-08-2004 12:56 AM

im prolly gonna go for this jb weld idea.



treceb were u at the DD meet? i forgot if ive met u b4

FikseRxSeven 04-08-2004 01:18 AM

yeah paco (treceb) was the owner of the mazdaspeed wheels with the montego blue fd

MazdaMike 04-08-2004 01:22 AM

yea yea yea paco u werent there for too long but i remember u

twinturborx7pete 04-08-2004 01:27 PM

the GReddy FMIC is a bitch to install... make sure you make some nice clean cuts on your bumper. pipes are easy to figure out since they have arrows.. but one of them i think u can flip around to fit better.. dunno for sure... been over a year since i installed one.

rfreeman27 04-08-2004 01:28 PM

I'm confused...what are you going to JB weld?

his hand to his ****?

j9fd3s 04-08-2004 09:19 PM

the pipes are nubered and arrowed, so getting them in the right order shouldnt be too hard

Thats a good one!!



Anways JB weld is the ****, we use it at work all the time. Strong stuff, It will work.

I'm going to have to go thru the same process since I bought a 2row greedy fmic from Gothamracing.com this month. I found this maybe this could help you out abit.
