Anybody have any ideas?I was thinking in front of the rad zap strapped to it but then my engine might run to hot which rotaries do quite well anyways.I want some input on where to mount it.I get it wednesday afternoon.

Do you still have a/c in your car?

If not..make sure you ripp the condensor out...

It will cool the radiator better..and then you can mount the oil cooler up there...what you should of done was got the old style OEM set up oil cooler..with the shorter 3 row radiator..then put the cooler under it...

I toasted my GSL-SE cooler.Mazda pulled the AC on it I pulled the smog pump and and emissions off.It runs below half all day unless I race it hard.Could I get away with mounting it to the rad?I have a stock 83 rad in it.I couldn't find a single oil cooler up here for a Rx7 anywhere even online.The wrecker said he would have to order one for $250 so I went and bought a aftermarket one instead for a little more.
