URGENT: Need help w/ P5 Radiator w/ ION FMIC

[gixermixer]

Hi Everyone,
I just got my ION FMIC and had the shop order me a P5 radiator, now they are telling me it will not bolt right on. And to modify it to work will cost in upwards of 300.00! I just got off the phone w/ the parts dep and was told that there are as many as 6 different P5 radiators! Maybe I have the wrong one, or is it the case that the p5 radiators are not PLUG and PLAY?

Could really use the help of someone that actually has a p5 radiator installed, and the part number of the radiator they used.

My car will be sitting until i find out, or go back to the stock radiator

Thanks in advance,
G~

Did you try posting in the P5 section?

The setup is out there and it has been done. Free bump.

yea, they shoudn't have problems. it'll bolt up to the stock radiator support with just new mounting holes on the driver's side.

Can you give me a part #? The lady at the parts dept said they have 6 different radiators for the 2.0 p5

gixermixer - You'll just need to top rad supports from the P5. The lower part will bolt in.

I was told by a mazda dealerships parts dept. thats there was like 6 different styles for the p5 aswell.

by the way www.cheapturbos.com have a 2 row radiator for the p5 for $499

ok, so im down to the 03 p5 radiator for the 5 speed 2.0 with AC, but now I need to know if i need the one for the sport suspention or non s.s.

A part number would be awesome. I want to keep it as close to stock as i can so i can use my stock fans.

Thanks

I really am starting to believe that no one has this setup on this board.
Please let me know if you or anyone you know is running a p5 radiator in their speed.

gixermixer Drop MSPDAVE125 a PM. He has the AWR radiator upgrade for the MP3/P5 in his MSP along w/ our FMIC.

That still leaves me wondering which of the 4 different p5 STOCK radiators for 2003 will work, and if the stock fans are the same, or close to the same that they will just bolt on. Until i get the part numbers for everything, im pretty much screwed.

As do I...but don't drop me any PMs because I'm a cranky bastard (crazy)

I have the AWR radiator and fan setup. It BARELY fits. The only other thing I had to buy was the P5 top rad supports ($12 from local Mazda dealer).

Peace...(hippy)

lol hang on man when i get to work i will give u the part number u need. and yes it should be the one with sport suspension. and tell the lady she doesnt know what she is talking about on the 6 rad it could be, reason being the part numbers are like u said auto, manual, sport sup, or not. the other two are for a normal protege not a p5.

 

[gixermixer]

Thanks! Can i also get a part number for the support?

Yeah the AWR rad was a bit shady on the fitment. 2 SPAL fans were required aswell. But when I polished it again, it looks sooooo pimp!

 

[vodapas77]

I'm guessing the sport suspension equates to hook up for the MSP's oil cooler. That was the first conflict I could think of when I was hashing this same plan out in my head.

 

[JONBOY688]

u should be ordering a zm39-15-200c and which support u need a price or part number on? if u mean the support bracket to hold the rad it is zl01-15-250 for the left one. price on the rad should be $204.85 and bracket $8.70

all you really need is the p/n for the p5 top rad mounts. the msp top rad mounts are different. the bottom will drop right in w/no issues at all.
