engine oil is actually a fair bit hotter than your engine coolant when the engine is running.... that's why mazda decided to use the water-cooled oil cooler I suppose... although the ambient air temperature around the car is much lower than the coolant temperature, so the air-to -oil cooler is more efficient.

I actually ordered a new HKS SSQ BOV to replace my HKS Racing one. It's not better, it just sounds cooler.

I am a ricer at heart...

Kudos, that looks like it's coming along nicely, I hope to have a turbo 12A by summertime as well... I will go with TBI fuel injection though

Yo! Whats up Ray,... sweet pics,... I cant wait to see her running either,... hopefully we get both of our cars ready by summer. We'll cruise up to Lakeland in our turbo 1st gens,...

I think we all have a little ricer in us, no matter how much we try to cover it up. Heh. BTW, sweet ride, man. I hope to a turbo on my FB one day, but I don't have a job, I don't have a license, and insurance is already going to cost too much. Heh. One day, I tell you. One day...

jonfc3s 02-26-04 08:23 AM

Hahaha,... I still havent posted pics of my bros car. Im pretty sure a lot of forum members would dig it. Anyways, who is going to make your piping Ray? At the last Lakeland event the Superior Mufflers Colt was there. That thing is silent!!! But even more deadly. He was pulling low 6 second eigth miles!

jonfc3s 02-26-04 09:25 PM

Yea,... I will asap,... The colt had a 4.3 Chevy V6 with a blow through turbo setup.
