The following is some information about how I installed my new SR MOTORSPORTS'
aluminum Radiator in my 1993 FD3 RX7. SR MOTORSPORTS and I are not liable for
any misinformation on this page and will not be held responsible for any damages
to your car. This page is strickly for informational purposes. Every car my
very in modifications and Configuration. What I have listed below is a step
by step instructional of how I installed my new radiator! Please feel free to
use the information in any way you please.

Step 14:
I bought new bushing to go on my new SRM Radiator. One goes on the
left side and one goes on the right side.

|
 |
Step 15:
The mounting brackets on the stock radiator needs to be taken off the
old radiator and bolted on the new SRM Radiator. There is one 10mm bolt
for each mounting bracket.

Step 17:
Now you can drop the SRM Radiator in with the fans on and bolt in the
mounting bolts and put everything back in reverse order. This may look
like a familar picture, but it should because of its stock replacement.
Everything fit perfectly and it looks simular to the stock radiator
except it is 100% thicker. It actually looks really mean if you look
in the mouth of the car.

Step 18:
Put the Intake, MSD's, Intercooler duct w/ condenser, Battery, Battery
Tray, Battery Hold Down, Intercooler, AST and Intercooler pipes back
in and you are almost done.

Step 20:
After filling the radiator and motor up with coolant, Start the car
and make sure you seal the secondary radiator cap and leave the AST
cap off for now. View the AST and see if there are any bubble and check
for leaks. You may need to fill with more coolant as the motor warms
up. As soon as the motor is warm and you no longer need to fill the
AST with coolant. Close the AST with the Radiator cap and again check
for leaks.
|
| |
|
| |
Step 21:
If there are no leaks take the car around the block and again see if
there are any leaks. If all is well and there are no leaks take the
car for a cruise. I have a external tempature guage where I can see
if the car is over heating or not. View the gauge to see if the car
over heats or if the car is running cooler? (note: the temperture guage
is almost good for nothing, by the time it tells you that you are overheating,
it is too late.)
