How hard would it be to put a radiator from a FC into a FD? My FC is being retired for a 1994 FD and I have a big Rmagic Radiator from my FC just sitting there and was wondering if it would be relativley easy to swap it over into the FD.

just check the mounting bolt points on the two randy. you might have to get a welder to cut the water neck on the radiator to make it fit the hose for the fd. oh can I have your front fenders from your fc??

Hmm yeah I was thinking I could maybe just use rubber hose to make it work but I guess I won't know till I try.



As for the fenders.......sorry they are going on my girls FC. As well as the 7 point and some other things as well.

height will be the issue since the FC radiator is much taller than the FD. If you go FMIC, it will become an even bigger issue.

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png nice....I'd hit you for that https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif almost forgot, good grab getting the FD. What are your plans for it?

Right now I am trying to get all the parts I can use from the FC. I want to use my TDO6 again but I think the manifold from the FC will not fit in the FD. So basically I am trying to get a TDO6 manifold. Also I swapped the Power FC over and the car is running on the Power FC right now. It has a Cat back muffler and HKS air cleaners and has Cusco Coilovers already, As well as full Aero. I will be drifting the piss out of this car too but I hate to cuz it is so beautiful and is really nice driving around town. Soon as I get the manifold I will put the turbine on cuz the stock twins are not working properly and I don't even want to take the time to figure that BS out.



This time out I am doing all the stuff right. Gonna get Big Radiator, already got a intercooler, basically take my time and build a reliable 400hp car that will take the abuse I give it. There are so many little things I don't know about the FD I will have to learn just like I did with the FC.

Randy, the manifold can be modified from the FC to the FD, you just need to work the wastegate feed pipe to a straight instead of an angle. Ask Dragon or Jspec about it.

i've heard most fc manifolds stick out too far on the fd and would require cutting of the frame
