Mike,
If you can run full power on the ground and your temps hold at 180, we
need to see some pictures of your installation as quickly as possible. :>)

Well, it's not as beautiful as it once was. Had to add some
ugly bumps for exhaust clearance. Finally threw in the towel on a clean oil
cooler install and added a second scoop and stock RX7 cooler below the rad
inlet.
Can I attach pictures here?
At the moment it appears during full power ground runs
that I have excess cooling capacity, both oil and water. Never been over 180 on
either. Which brings me to thinking (again) about oil/water heat exchangers.
Has anyone successfully implemented one? If so what are you using? I may
eventually be able to get rid of that second scoop.

I was on this list years ago when it first started up.
Job change and other issues slowed progress on my project and I unsubscribed.
Good to hear from you again. Can't
wait until all the new folks see that beautiful cowl :-)
