RnR 1G racing fmic kit installation?

[leadfoot]

i bought this kit awhile ago from rnr racing. it came without instructions. i was wondering if anyone has any installation pics of their kit or links.
i am especially interested in what to do with the spal fan. does it go in place of one of the stock fans? how do you mount it?
also, does the replacement overflow bottle go in place of the stock one? is there a way to put the low coolant sensor in that bottle?
and lastly, how do you mount the fmic to the car?

i also bought a 3" intake pipe from them, but it was just one single piece of pipe, without a blow-off valve return. is there anyone else out there with the same one? did you have to fabricate something? have any pics?

is this too stupid of a question?

this depends on whether it is a push type or pull type fan. a push type needs to be mounted on the front of the radiator whereas a pull type needs to be mounted on the side where the stock fans are mounted. to attach them you can either fab up some brackets, get special radiator fan mounting tabs (similar to a zip tie), or use common old zip ties fed through the fins on one side and then back through again.

also, does the replacement overflow bottle go in place of the stock one? is there a way to put the low coolant sensor in that bottle?

the replacement overflow bottle is used for the short route piping kits where the stock coolant overflow bottle gets in the way. you can mount the replacment one anywhere you choose since they are generall small. I do not believe you can reuse the sensor since they usually come with generic plastic overflow containers that are much smaller than the factory one.

how do you mount the fmic to the car?

this all depends, but my kit made use of the bolt on the hood latch (you have to remove the vertical support that runs by the hood latch and move the hard power steering lines toward the back) as well as mounts that went under the front crossmember of the car. basically the options are many and the question you asked is very general. most fmic kits are not a complete bolt on affair and require you to be creative a little. Do some searching because you should be able to find TONS of pics of intercoolers and what needs to be done to install. To get you started check this out ADFX FMIC Installation on 1g

Hope this gets you pointed in the right direction.
