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!

QUOTE(gms @ Aug 6 2015, 08:23 AM)  here you go Glen, thanks for the picture of the RX7 oil cooler flow. I looked but apparently not hard enough to find it! That is how I had it and then switched it to the opposite direction because some have told me it should go in the bottom out the top. Now I don't know if I should switch back it because as others have told me it can flow either way! Thanks again maybe others will chime in. |
