I read your email
Wow, that's a nice setup! However, oil that's too cool can be just as damaging as oil that's too hot, particularly for turbos. How does this setup regulate the temp so it's optimal?

911's at least have something like 12-15 quarts of oil and a dry-sump system...
Probably not a bad idea for a rotary, either.Mazda oil coolers are frequently used for many boingers. They ARE rather large. (IE it's more than overkill for, say, an A/Sedan Mustang)

DIRECTFREAK THINKING OUT LOUD:
If you *really* wanted a (cheap) dry sump system, (instead of $2500 for Mazda's) - couldn't you just use the inlets and outlets for the oil cooler, and run an external oil pump with a small reservoir?
Thinking out loud over.

i think a rotary would benifit from having more oil, especially the turbo cars. how you would do this is another subject that i haven't found a good answer for

Dunno if they are by the pound for sure, (i heard someone say that tho) but I bet your *** they will cheper than ****, considering theres like 5 middlemen in this before it gets to you...
