The RX7 cooler is a very good quality piece, but the inlet and outlet fittings are too small. if you cut them off and aluminum weld on proper fittings you must still have the cooler cleaned for metal particles...
With this modification it is a very nice alternative to other more expensive coolers...although the supply of new units is now a challenge....at least up here in Canada.
There is enough cooling here for a racing six....maybe too cool for the average street four cyl...
Have you tried to install this type of cooler in a factory gt shroud. Does it fit? If not is it the length or the height that is the limiting factor? I have a hot 3.2 so all the cooling is welcome.
I have a brand new never used RX-7 Oil cooler and a GT fiberglass shroud that has been modified to accept the RX-7 cooler. The GT shroud was widened in the middle and one of the holes on the side has been close and moved to the top of the shroud to match the Mazda cooler and fits in the front trunk perfectly.. I am thinking about selling the cooler and shroud together. If anyone is interested PM or email me nein11@msn.com
I used an Rx7 cooler in my '69 911S 3.2 with great success....but I had modified the 911 front pan to accept it....My 914 looks quite different...but I plan on using another Rx7 cooler for it too....just haven't got there yet.
I probably will not use the traditional GT type shroud and will make my own....I'm pretty sure the GT shroud will not fit without so many mods you would have been better off starting from scratch with a diferent concept.....
