2 Intercoolers Or 2 Radiators

I was learing under my turbo 2 for the first time from the bottom looking up, and I either have 2 radiators, or a top mount and a front mount on my car....LOL....

anybody?? I can post a pic.....it looks like a 2nd radiator, but why would you put a 2nd radiator the size on a intercooler in front of another radiator??

Stock, there is a oil cooler, air condition condensor and a radiator in the front.

All could be confused with being an extra radiator by (shall we say) the less informed.

???

if you over fill a piston engine you get crank splash, which robs HP and mixes a lot of air into the oil. You won't blow a seal, you'll just make it run dirty and foamy.

Icemark. how'd you get so damn smart!
It's either your oil cooler, or as previously stated, your a/c condenser.. which reminds me, were working on my friends AWD Gsx eclipse (pulling motor) and my buddy looks over at me and says, look at my stock front mount. "that's your a/c condenser *** clown... "oh are you sure?" <--WTF!

Judging by this question, I think before you ask any more you should do the following:[list=1][*]Go to www.fc3s.org or www.iluvmyrx7.com and download the Factory Service Manual in PDF format for free. This is your FC bible. Just about everything you need to know about your car is in there. You only need to download the chapters that you need at the time.[*]Buy a Haynes manual. The FSM has a lot more info, but the Haynes' photos are much better than some of the FSM's sketches and make things easier to understand. Plus they explain much beeter how to do things that might be new to the unexperienced.[*]Learn to use the Search function. Just about any question you can think of has probably been asked before.[/list=1] These things will save the embarrasment of asking noob questions in the future, and will make working on your car much more enjoyable.
