My Massive oil COOLER pics inside
Here it is the biggest oil cooler anyone has ever put on a 7... Do you think the sheer mass of this thing is going to cause problems? What do you think?
I am going to mount a push fan infront and have a pull behind the rad..
HERE IS THE MONSTER!!!
My Mellow Dew bottle is to show size reference....

Well, why.....umm... Why ask why? Bigger is better right? LOL.. Got it dirt cheap, Thought the track car might appreciate it... I will probably hold 2x as much oil now.
I realyy don't know why.. but why not..
It is 3x13x19 with 1/2 lines

I'm assuming you mean the beehive, if it's going in the '85. Dunno, never owned one yet. Doesn't look big enough for 8lbs, but the difference probably isn't much.
Edit: Gonna be some hose weight too, I imagine.
Edit #2: I don't auto-x or worry about weight myself. Just idly passing some time while I screw around on eBay.

Where did you get that? I need that for my van's tranny, it has issues, but that would solve them. For an rotary engine, I havent any idea yet. I could only see if you had previous problems while high rpms, and mabye even turbo( could see that helping alot) .

you would need to drain that thing every oil change, other wise have of your oil would be old oil. you might be doing harm with keeping your oil too cool like someone was saying.

That's not a oil cooler. It looks like the water to air heat exchanger I have in my furance and in my shop. How much did you pay for it? They are kind of pricey. Looks nice but I would't use it as a oil cooler, It might not handle the high pressure.

That cooler is all but overkill except for motors that get revved over 9000rpms on a regular basis. An oil cooler that size is what GT2 & GT3 rotaries use. Overkill for street stuff.
I bet a good ultrasonically cleaned 13b oil cooler is all you'll ever need. And an oil thermostat is highly reccomended.

im thinking maybe it won't be overkill, due to the fact that oil plays a huge part in cooling the rotary, maybe even more than coolant. I would upgrade the oil pump and pressure regulator first though...if u haven't already done it.
