Oil cooler lines
I'm installing a 13b-re with racing beat AN style oil cooler lines, is it ok to run the lines to the oil cooler backwards?
I just can't seem to get the rear line to reach, and its really close, if it where on top then it would be about perfect.
The only thing that would change would be the direction of the oil in the cooler, stock it runs from the top down, it seems like running it from the bottom up would result in less foaming.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,,

The difference is that the rear line outputs under the oil filter, The line would defanitly make it if I wasn't trying to keep my A/C, but routed as best as I can get I am still about an inch short.
The guy who awnsered the phone at mazdatrix where I bought the lines said it shouldn't be a problem, but he said they only run them backwards sometimes when istalling 2 coolers, so it wouldn't be as big of an issue.
