What cooler setup is popular?
Does anyone run a 2nd gen oil cooler on their race car and if so does it work well in race conditions? Or is there something better?
Last time I talked to Dave Lemon at Mazdatrix, his opinion was that the Mazda factory cooler was the best choice. The SE version or the 2nd gen have an additional row compared to the 12a version on the 1st gen. The issue with the 2nd gen unit is that the connectors come out at different angles compared to the 1st gen cooler. It can be made to work but it isn't a direct replacement. That makes the 1st gen SE cooler the best choice if you can find one. This is what I run here in S. Cal. Temps of 100+ are routine here.
Never underestimate a man that owns a Sawzall and a welder.
