good luck mounting a push fan in there, theres little to no space in there unless u make custom mounts 4 the radiator and use different hoses

meh just have your fan turn on at 180deg and mount it the stock FC style (rad then oil cooler then FMIC)



it'll be fine, the fan will maintain the temps at 180.



if anything your fan will turn on a little earlier due to slightly reduced airflow.



ive seen trucks with like 4" intercoolers and huge oil coolers mounted in front of the rad, stock, and they dont have problems.

Someone will have to verify this for me, but I swear I remember seeing a diagram for oil cooler mounting on the mazdacomp site. They had it laying down in front of the rad, parallel to the ground. They had a panel diverting air to the oil cooler (like looking at the front of the car, there'd be a large opening to the intercooler, then a small opening under it to the oil cooler). The air would exit underneat the car, and the oil cooler would get air dedicated to it, and the heat from the oil cooler wouldn't heatsoak anything else.
