Folks,
Looking for some help and advice from those that have been there/done that. Pictures and well documented websites would work nicely (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) . I want to install a front mounted oil cooler for my 2.0 Six, and although it may be overkill because it is not being built as an overstressed engine, it may see an open track day or two in the Summer heat (if I sell my racecar). I've studied the factory GT setup from every angle possible in person and on some excellent websites online, but replicating the factory setup for me is overkill. I don't care about being authentic, just functional and practical. Flexible lines, aftermarket thermostats and Rx7 oil coolers are fine with me. Do any of you out there have examples of how you did yours, what works and doesn't work, size of lines, plumbing layouts, oil cooler options, etc? Advice and help are much appreciated. Thanks, Dion |
