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. 

 

Hey, Mike's Back  :-)

 

Good to hear from you again.  Can't wait until all the new folks see that beautiful cowl :-)

 

Cheers,

Rusty
