im looking for the size (volume) or #of pass oil cooler i should use for a Se 13b? what size should the tube that runs through the cooler be?

 

This topic has been discussed in great detail regarding the appropriate cooler for out engines.

The outcome has always been the same.

Use the Se cooler or put a 2nd gen one on. There is a archived thread on how to install a 2nd gen oil cooler or our years.

 

well here is the kicker. i have space limitations. so im looking for the minimum i need plus some. the engine is going into a 1970vw bug so i have 2 places to ideally mount it. under the deck lid or above the transmission. just depends on what size requirements are. i did a search and didnt quite find whhat i needed to know.

 

anyone?

 

Beehive.

 

Both terrible places from an airflow perspective. I don't think the deck lid will fit with a Mazda in it. Seen it before and it doesn't look right. That is a tough one. Whhere is the radiator goin?

FD oil coolers come in pairs and can be split up, just a thought.

 

I agree with jeff. An oil to water cooler should work out well.

 

yeah im sure the stocker will not fit under the deck lid. thats why i was just trying to figure the size and volume of a stocker so i can buy an aftermarket universal cooler that is of an appropriate size. the radiator is in the front, cut out the spare tire area and relocating the gas tank.

 

i heard the beehive sucked. plus this is on a 13b was that only on the 12 a?

 

the deck lid is louvered and i was going to add a bad *** fan to it so i dont think air flow is an issue. plus the spot on the floor near the transmission has worked for many people with a little ducting

 

?????????????????????

 

I put a beehive in my baja and it works just fine. And there's tons of room back there because it's a baja.

 

Let's stay focused here. The "beehive" only transfers heat to the water. And it was to be used WITH the air to air. Now, you have more heat to dissipate in the water.
There are great aftermarket radiators available. Jegs or Summit have quite a few very reasonably priced. I got a couple for some buggies I have. All AL consturction, rugged and compact. You CAN do better than the production stuff.

Is this a baja we're talking about?
