When I install the FC oil cooler, do I use FC lines and fittings or FB lines and fittings?

Do I need to switch the thermal pellet or bypass valve inside the FC oil cooler with one from an SA?

Is the FC oil cooler closer in length to the SE oil cooler or the SA oil cooler?

Instead of using the stock fittings and banjo bolts, is it possible to use other fittings, such as those on Mazdatrix's website?

Finally, if anyone has done this on their FB, please let me know how the installation went and how it runs with the new cooler. Thanks.

 

I made my own mounts for the cooler and put it in front of the rad. SO consequently I had to make my own lines. Look at RMD's post on his cooler install for some info on my install. Works great so far.

PM me with your email addy if you want to see pics.

 

I saw his post about the cooler, but are there any pictures of the lines? I'd like to see a picture.

Do I have to have pics hosted on the net to display them here? Can they be put up directly (hosted) on here? I'd like to put up pics of my FC cooler in my FB.

 

Is this mod suppose to give increased performance over the stock oil/water cooler?

 

Absofuckinloutely! The water oil cooler sux.

 

Doesn't ( I think ) 79-83 have from mount oil coolers as well ?

 

79-82 has it... 83 and 84-85 12A cars have the water style. 84 and 85 GSL-SE has air style...

 

Oh man...I didn't really want to start another "air oil cooler" thread. I just wanted to get my questions answered. DOH!

 

Anyone have the 2nd gen pedestal, lines and hoses?

 

go fishin' in the 2nd gen forum for that stuff. You'll get more hits there.

 

Ok. 85rx7gs reels in his line and casts out into the pool of 2nd gens.

 

the 79-82 filter pedastal and water line should be fine. I have the pedastal if your interested. As for the hard water line you could just cut the T off of that as well as cutting the T off the line coming out of the engine.

 

Hmm...I suppose that the 79-82 pedestal will work as long as the threads are the same as the 2nd gen pedestal.

 

Dude..... the fact that you install a 2nd Gen oil cooler in your car does not mean you need to install a 2nd gen pedestal.

 

yea, the oil filter remains the same as it always was.

 

bump

 

What the heck are you bump'n this for? This needs to go away

 

What happened to all the responses that were here?

 

they're switching servers, and rather than dump an up-to-date version they use the backup dbase files

 

oh ok, thanks
