Yeah, as long as they're plugged, who cares.
Fit a nice big front mount oil cooler, preferably in front of the rad, like a JDM S3 12A turbo.

Not if he can see them through the top of the rad where the water goes in.
So, if all three core are water, how does the oil get cooled ?

By the water/oil heat exchanger under the oil filter (beehive) as fitted to series 3 RX7s. You can see it in the dudes photo.

roof,left door, left quarter, and rear of car are ready for final prime, halfway there and my arms are ready to fall off!

of news, scored an assembled megasquirt diypnp for a s5 turbo, found my axle and should be here this coming week, found out the cost of paint :shock: (not as bad as i thought), and thinking it might be easier to use adapters (4 lug to 5 lug)than putting the fc 5 lug spindles and brakes on the front and (since coming axle is 6 lug) swapping 6 to 5 lug instead of 6 to 4...dunno, gonna enjoy the 12a....but the 13b is so much more fun, and the cost of rew's are getting as cheap as 13bt....this crap always happens during a build!....car is being setup for a 13b turbo, just not now...sure I stitched the chassis, and I'm swapping in a different (stronger) axle...but unless a 13b-re/rew magically appears, sticking with my carby 12a for now (hmm diypnp, gm tbi, gt28rs,fc cas and coils.... :twisted: )
