Need advice on waterpump and oil cooler on FC?
 

Ok I used a 3rd gen waterpump and the housing is hit the hood, what waterpump are you using or does it need to be custom made? After mounting the radiator I can't find anywhere to mount the oil cooler, the only place is under the driverside headlight. What kind and where does everybody mounts their oil cooler(using a FMIC)

Get the waterpump filler neck from a-spec tuning.

It's designed to work with teh 20b and FD waterpump combo.

Mount the cooler in front of the rad.

ive seen alot of oil coolers mounted where the fog lights or the brake ducts are. that where im thinking of doing mine if i do duals

I went to a-spec site and couldn't find the filler neck for the waterpump?

This is my only option since the 4row intercooler toke up all the space around the bumper area. :D

very nice :):icon_tup:...also on your waterpump problem.. i think you can use the one from the 13B without having clearace issues?

I tried the S5 waterpump housing and it looks good but I can't use the 5rib pulley. I'm going to use the FD waterpump and make an adapter where the thermosat is.

oh ... youre using serpantine belt... i never thought about the belt difference... good point lol any pics?

I don't know what's what you're doing differently but I know a FEW people running the REW waterpump with no hood clearance issues.

Take a look at my thread, should give you some ideas about heat exchanger mounting

Pay no mind to this TitaniumTT fellow..... he has no clue










:smilielol5:

Is he talking about a 13b RE?

no the REW is what came in the S6 Rx7s. And i was joking about him not knowing anything... he knows alot

:rofl: I'm a newb/keyboard mechanic/oxygenthief/ and generally an asshole

Doesn't matter what 13B engine it goes on, it'll be in the same place in the engine bay unless you changed something, missed something, moved something, used hockey pucks for engine mounts........

bah! screw the water pump! who needs em?

Remember my project is a 20B. Going to get some pictures of a custom made wtaerpump filler.
