M35 - Fmic Dimension Limitations

[PetroDola]

anyone with a aftermarket FMIC on their m35 ...what was the dimensions you used without having to butcher the front bar to buggery?

and was that a relatively easy fit?

Doesnt need to be huge. infact id rather it quite thin but long. Anything has to be better than the standard one on there.

any feedback on dimensions would be great so i know what to buy before tearing the front bar off.

cheers

Mine has a 600 x 220 core now I modified it, bolts under the bar, just.

Most of the guys run a standard 600 x 300 but you have to remove the thermo fan and replace it with a thinner one, core sits behind the bar.

I used to run a 450 x 300 which fit beside the thermo fan motor but it wasnt ideal.

There is enough width to run maybe 800mm if you really wanted but you are stuck with standard core sizing usually.

yeah i was thinking something along the lines of this.

but its a bit short.

you reckon its feasible?

or should i go something longer and thinner?

Best cooler will be a 600 x 300 x 76 and a thinner fan, The HDI kit would be the go if you have the coin. All the piping is plastic and will need to be changed so factor that in.

Do you have a power goal? Mine keeps raising...

I've got the HDI FMIC kit....no complaint's and easy to install yourself....big improvement over the standard one especially in summer.

If you want one that will fit nicely under the reo, maybe look at this Trust unit?

Is looking more and more like the way I go and get some 1-piece mandrel bent inlet and outlet piping done locally.... will have to make up your own brackets though

But then again, I am not going for 300awkw

Hey mate,

For a little variety I went the Blitz CS FMIC kit for the M35 from Just Jap. Cheaper than the HDi unit also (last time I checked). It was $999 + around $50 postage to the Gold Coast. If you would like to see it/drive it, come on down.

Blitz FMIC

Core Size - 620 x 266 x 76mm. Only the reo bar had to be cut back a tiny bit. Could not be happier though.

Cheers

PS: Glad theres more M35s in Qld now.

You cut back the alloy reo? How is the air going to flow to that part of the cooler? Maybe you should have put a thinner fan on instead.

I had just replaced the fan with a new OEM one so I was not going to do that again. Plus, it was my Mechanic who did it without telling me prior to him installing it. Sucks to be me.

hmm... Hdi's kit should set you back around the $800 mark. Can't remember if that included shipping or not though.

Also, the HD' GT2 core is significantly more efficient than the Blitz unit
