LMAO

Dude its gonna take me along time to clean the car after that weekend.

But I will clean it. Beer and a saturday is all it takes....

 

We made our own steel braided cooler lines with Russell screw in fittings---no crimping with 110 psi oil pressure for me! You might want to check the angle the fitting was at and if the line was under tension when you accelerated. If your line was a bit shorter than stock for some reason that may be why it failed.

 

I was thinking that as I was looking it. wondering how much movement was in the engine. You would think that it would have been the correct length. I just installed it at the angle as stock lines.

Where did you get you oil cooler fans? I think that I may be able to increase cooling somewhat with them. (Some may disagree but what do you think?) I figure that it may help idling and slow cornering? Or a front lip may be better?

I have basically 5 laps I need to run at a time. No endurance racing. LOL

 

My fans are made by Spal USA but are 5 inches tall, your cooler is only 4 inches tall. My speedsource Oil Cooler is 6 inches high and 3 inches thick, where the stock one is 4 inches tall and 2 inches thick.

 

Time to run 2 FC oil coolers together...

 

fans only help you when you are not moving around. At 100 km/h the air flow through the oil cooler will be more than any fan can pull through. It's pointless unless u are driving in stop and go traffic. Or behind the pacecar for extended periods. Some race cars don't even use fans. They just use clever ducting and that's it.

What you need is more cooling from your rad and from your oil cooler. Which means get a rad better than your stock drop in fluidyne rad. Get a better, bigger, higher flowing oil cooler. Like one of those Setrab 17" wide by 8" tall, 2" thick oil coolers. That thing should solve all your oil problems. The stock systems or upgrade to stock systems were only meant for 200ish horsepower. Not 450+ rwhp.

If you increased your body weight by 2X from say 150 to 300 all of the sudden, how do you think your heart, liver, or kidneys would do?

Get rid of the turbo and intercooler or get better than stock replacement parts.

 

I don't understand why RX7's are so hard to make fast..

my friend has a turbo h22 honda civic. No pulsation damper at all. Stock fuel rail and FPR. Tiny FMIC (8x24x3"? or so), no oil cooler. Half width-single core stock rad (about half as wide and same thickness as a stock fc a/c condensor). It has NO overheating problems/etc, has made countless fast 1/4 mile passes and has seen several track days, all without issue.

 

Well the oil system on a rotary is accountable for 30% of the engine cooling.

 

Just got my Racing Beat oil cooler lines today...hope they don't suffer the same fate.
