Wepr TD04 kit radiator fitment

Personally, I would cut, shorten and re-angle the screamer pipe, moving the screamer to be in front of the de-cat pipe. This would allow the Civic radiator to be fitted.
 
I think you should post up all that needed doing or pm me a full list, cus it was a pain in the hole and people are blindly buying this kit thinking it'll be no bother. If somebody was getting a garage to fit this they would end up paying a fortune, the kit was expensive enough and bought on reputation.

I'm at fault as well, I should have posted up my experience's sooner so other people didn't end up in the same positition as me getting messed around by something that was falsely advertised.

I totally agree mate. Although it seems there is a way to sort it with my civic rad, but it's incuring more labour charges which should never be being racked up due to the kit being standard fitment.

Or is there no comeback on advertising something as standard fitting when it's not? As I understand in the modifying game you always need to tweek, but to be one of it's main selling points and not being true is wrong.
 
There is comeback,he may offer a refund if you haven't fitted it, if you have ther is also but for the price of the kit it wouldn't be worth it.

The fact is it was advertised as standard rad friendly, which it isn't.

Please bear in mind lkads, that these kits are made one at a time, by hand.
Yes they will be done on jigs, but modifying isnt always straight forward.

I accept that, however that means nothing whenever it is advertised as standard rad friendly when it is clearly not.

Theres alot of things advertised about that isnt wghat it should be.
If you have a problem, speak to Sach, he WILL sort you out. ;)

That doesn't make it right.

I don't doubt that, I'm sure if when I was going to fit it and came to these problems and contacted him he would have offered me a refund.
As I have said in his feedback thread his service is good.

But when I am paying someone to fit it for me and have already built up a bill to discover that it won't fit, I've had to insure another car for a week and pay for a courier to take the goods back to Sacha.

I'll have lost more than it would cost me to rectify the problems with the kit.

Never mind the fact I'd have to get another kit from someone else when I actually think Sacha's is the least likely to crack over the others available.

So to conclude, I would probably still have bought a kit from Sacha, I would however have liked an accurate description that the thing wouldn't fit without alot of modification.

I never said it was right, mearly stating a fact buddy. :)

As for the rest, its really not Sachas fault, that you have someone else doing the work, so that can be ruled out regardless of problems.

He has based his description on what he manufactured from the start, not from anyone elses cars.

Trust me i understand where your coming from, as i had problems before with another of WEPR kits, but i mangaed to get it to work with a little patience and common sense.
Thats all thats needed. :)

it really looks to me that a civic rad would fit easily, if mounted low enough, i.e. flush with the top crossmember like this:

You're missing the point mate, you said he WILL sort me out, all I was saying that he can't sort me out, even if he gave me a refund I wouldn't be sorted out.
His statement that it is stock A/C and rad friendly is a misrepresentation, where he came up with the design from is immaterial.

I got it to work too.

My point is, it wasn't as described and that isn't right and shouldn't be allowed to continue.

Despite that I would still have bought it had I known what needed to be modded.

There is a reason the pic he has of it up is of it not in the engine bay...

thats why i got mine from TMD, with the screamer and wastegate down below,
it cleared standard rad altho tight, until my standard rad went.
now i have a civic one and it fits lovely with standard fan, no cable ties needed.lol they work a treat.

hey lads..
i was unaware of this thread till Gorgani directed me to it. i would have replied immediately if i was able to find this sooner.

first of all..let me appologize for any inconvenience caused guys. its not our intention at all for this to happen. we're constantly trying to improve our products and sometimes when fabricating things by hand..mistakes do happen lads and i totally appologize for that. the important thing is that we make it right.

Nick u2u'd me some time ago and told me he was having a similar problem..i assumed it was a one-off issue since it does happen from time to time. when Cat u2u'd last week notifying me of a similar issue i wanted to see some detailed pics so that i can try to identify exactly what was going on.

can you guys tell me exactly where the manifold is not clearing the radiator? we test samples from time to time and never encontered this issue. when we bolt it onto our spare car..it always clears the radiator 100% of the time.

if ANY parts would not fit or work as it should..i would NEVER send it out because in the end..its bad for business and our hard earned reputation, not forgetting it is an additional cost for WEPR to bare. apart from that being bad business practice.. its very important that you guys realize that we would never do something like that on purpose. we dont sell our products under false pretences or misinterpretation..but i do have people working for me and like everyone else..there is a risk of human error every once in a blue moon.

before we take this any further...can you guys please post on this thread some details close up pics to where the trouble is please? i will keep an eye on this thread and reply promptly...

there is very little clearance between the rad and manifold hard movement of the engine would burst it and that's a uk rad . when u try and fit the external wastegate it fouls the rad and the fan and wont fit at all .a civic rad and aftermarket fan will fit with modifications so I'm going to make a them fit on Monday ill keep u posted
