God dammit, I got my FC cooler today and it is the exact same size as my old 12a oil cooler.

the only difference is it has larger fittings and the different mounting points.

so why did I get this cooler if I could have had 10an fittings brazed onto my stock cooler?

Or did I get a N/A cooler vs. a TII. (I hope not)

A FC cooler is a bit longer than a FB one. You sure you got a FC one?

damn forgot about this post.

yeah, im sure its a FC, unless someone went to the trouble of adding FC fittings and mounts to a S2 cooler.

it looks exactly the same. same size, same number or rows, same width.

If its longer, its by no more than a inch.

I dunno if a TII is different from an N/A FC cooler, and Im not surprised its the same size as an SA one. I fit an FC cooler in front of the rad on teh racecar. Why do you need a bigger cooler? If you REALLY need one, find an RX4 cooler, it has an extra row, or a MFR cooler, but that will be $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

I don't know what the hell you are trying to ask here

The FC cooler is about a inch or two longer than the FB one. They both have the same core count and are both the same height.

Still don't know what you are saying.

If this helps, oil goes in the top and out the bottom. Is that what you are looking for??
Oil comes out the front of the engine - to the top port of the cooler - out the bottom port - to the rear of the engine. The ports go on the drivers side of the car.
