Thread: local FMHE alternatives???

For some reason i cannot find my stage 2 FMHE that came with my i/c kit. now i have everything installed and setup up and i looked everywhere smfh. Are there any local alternative heat exchangers?

Phil said he thought a Radiator from a volkswagen (I think jetta) would fit as a nice easy alternative..

Could my car be driven wit the intercooler core on but no fmhe?

As long as the pump isn't hooked up and your PCV is working

^This.

It would act like a blower spacer for now.

Exactly, just make sure your pump isn't running dry, disconnect it if you have already made the electrical connections.

Oh man. I didnt have the pump installed....just the core. But i ended up taking it out and putting just the blower for now. The core for some reason at first wouldn't budge because of the grey rtv but i had to use a towel and a breaker bar to pry it of the lim. Ill have to order a new stae 2 fmhe because mines has vanished from my entire house or maybe the zzp $60 intercooler radiators for now.



Thanks for the help and reply guys. I appreciate it.

Also this was my first time doing a LIM change and i was successful. Im happy the gasket and ported lim install went well.

is there a huge difference in a second radiator vs a fmhe i wonder

ive read a radiator works better than a FMHE.

Could you post pics of your radiator and setup please?
