Chronicles of a 13BT swap......

Anybody got any thoughts on what oil cooler I could use-would a generic ebay 15 or 19 row be sufficient?

Tim,
I asked the same question on various forums and was advised to use a T2 cooler as they are tried and tested with the turbo\'d rotary engine.
There\'s a bit on it here...

I think a generic cooler would probably work but as the Mazda engineers have already proved the T2 to be up to the job, I\'m probably going to go with one of those.
I\'ve put a s2 rad and oil cooler in at the moment just to get up and running but I\'m thinking I\'ll probably go back to the larger s3 rad and stick a T2 cooler out front.

Cheers Ian, looks like more \'wanted\' adverts then!

Go for T2 one. There is alot of oil cooling needed and the eBay ones aren\'t big enough.

i put a T2 one in mine they more than capable of cooling and a lot better then ebay stuff, i used a couple of exhaust clamps to bolt mine up to the front beam and had some pipes made up (possibly a right up in my build thread)

Okay cheers Mark

any more thoughts on the cooler Tim???

Well I\'ve got Tim White hunting for one in his cave but am still looking at alternatives as I\'d rather have a unit that was brand new and is less likely to curl up it\'s toes at an unfortunate moment. There are loads of units like this...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AlliSport-Universal-19-Row-Aluminum-Oil-Cooler-3-4-BSP-/330465456821?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4cf146b2b5#ht_869wt_907

These all average an oil capacity of .38L, Prof thinks a TII cooler takes more like .5L so unless I hear different-a 19 row one like that won\'t be sufficient. Chris Impey uses something like this in his FD drag car though so they\'ve got to be fairly useful.

So 2 hours after your post, I expect the sump should be nicely snug then!

Tell me it is so, so I can sleep...
