I was wondering if an oil cooler like this one would work as a front oil cooler of a 2.7 6 conversion.
What are your thoughts? BTW it's a Behr from an old Mercedes. Attached image(s)

QUOTE(Scott S @ Sep 25 2012, 09:30 AM)  The one I have is out of a euro-spec Mercedes M110 engine (2.8l DOHC inline 6 with 185HP) but that engine is pending sale along with my car. I was just outside and thought the dimensions were close to the 914/6 GT coolers and since it helped with a 2.8l inline six..... I'd have to find another one, but I'm sure they are out there. Thanks to all you guys for your help. I'll probably run either braided lines or those cool GT-style hardlines to the front (the ones PMB are doing). I've been told a front cooler is best, so what the heck. If anyone has a line on a good RX7-cooler or of a place to get one, I'd be willing to think about that too. |
