Have a modified RX7 Oil Cooler that came with the car which was in process of a 6 conversion. Hoses are run to the engine bay ready to hook up to thermostat. Does anyone know if it matters if the oil enters from the top of cooler or bottom or does it really matter? Internal Tank thermostat is removed already I am going to run a Mocal. Appreciate the input especially from anyone actually running one. Thanks!

If memory serves me, there are 4 rows in one direction and 3 rows the other way.
I would think you would want to flow the hot oil in on the 3 rows and back out on the 4 rows. The oil will cool and thicken some in the first pass and will flow easier and slower thru the 4 rows back out. I'm no engineer but this seem most efficient to me. I don't have a cooler here to look at and see if that is how Mazda did it or not. Jim |
