Need advice on waterpump and oil cooler on FC?

[jamespond24]

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.

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

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.

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

: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........

[project86]

You never mentioned 20B, I guess being in the 20B section was a dead giveaway though :rofl:

I was toying with the idea of making an AST that would bolt right on the front of my WP housing, but ran out of time. Maybe over the winter.

Ok I got the car running last month due to a bad ACT pressure plate I had to wait for 1 1/2 month to get it back. I just need to find the time to dyno tune the car. I will get some pictures of it later. I also got another FD 13BREW 1/2 bridge project done while I was waiting on the pressure plate for the my 20FC. So who do you think is going to win? MY S400 streetport 20B at 25psi or 13brew 1/2 bridge turbonetics 76mm at 32psi? Forgot the 20 is on ET and the FD is on DR.:D Looking to take both to the track when test n tune starts on Sunday which is in November.
