Did anyone using the FMII intercooler tubing run into the same issue? The tube that attaches to the intake manifold sits right in front of the radiator outlet and makes it impossible to get a coolant line on the radiator. I think next steps are cutting it down and possibly running a flex hose to make the coolant reroute work. I'm curious if anyone has had similar issues and found a way to resolve them.
Thanks!

Ah, which style radiator are you using? A stock style radiator with the coolant hose inlet in the stock location works perfectly. Using their crossflow radiator (or any that style with the inlet all the way to the passenger side) will interfere. One of the main reasons I went with the relocation in my build.

I had that issue with a coolant reroute and the mishimoto radiator. You should be able to make it work. It is just going to take some twisting and cutting some of the silicone that attaches to the intake. I was going this route but have changed to an over the radiator setup. (didn't want to cut the sides of the hood area). Now to sell my FM intercooler pipes.

Thanks guys. I think I'll be trimming the tube that attaches to the intake then running the coolant hose towards the center of the car then loop under the intake and back to the rear of the block. The big question is what collection of rad hoses will give me the drunken snake shaped bend I need to connect it.

Mr Mills, no relation I presume? Had to laugh at your avatar pic! Love it. Can I have a copy please to use in my Exo history section.

No relation outside of an obsession with light weight cars, thanks for all you've done! I'll have to hunt down the original, I created it on an old laptop and am not sure where the backup went. Once I find it I'll post back in the thread. Thanks!

I am reviving this thread. On the FM website it states that the silicone pipe is compatible with exocet, I'm not sure sure it is. Below is the pictures of my setup trying to go on. I have already cut down the test radiator hose in these pictures. At this point I think I am going to try to cut down the radiator neck and try to cut down the silicone intake hose to see where I get. I have been looking at the reroute, that would make this situation even worse. photos.app.goo.gl/SBLBcCXxyoE2WyD23 |
