It's about 15% coolant mix right now with Redline Waterwetter.
I have the Ratsback racing chin spoiler. http://vorshlag.smugmug.com/photos/5...53_rHvi5-M.jpg Oil cooler seems to be the general consensus. Anyone have any experience with this Moss oil temp spacer: http://www.miatamania.com/Graphics/P.../904-565_1.jpg Mazda Miata Parts & Accessories at MiataMania.com Thoughts on running that with FM's oil cooler thermostat/spacer?

Is it a double pass? If I went with a bigger/better/different radiator I would probably try one of the circle track double pass radiators that M2CupCar has recommended. It's also the best bang for the buck after the Godspeed/Chinese stuff. FYI, I've looked at Evans. The big benefit IMO is not that you can run cooler, but that you can run hotter safely. "How hot" is the question, though. |
I always thought that double or triple pass radiators increased velocity through the radiator but if the water pump wasnt upgraded in some way to increase pressure/flow then you might actually end up with a decrease in cooling. Is there an upgraded miata water pump?

Ext me a price.

Glowshift makes a oil cooler sandwich adapter. Give you 10 AN for a cooler, and 2 1/8npt ports for pressure or temp.

Going to test it on a car in 2 weeks with a more standard intercooler setup, but we are confident.

There has been talk talk of running an electric water pump. Search for some of Jason's posts. Chris |

Oil Cooler Sandwich Adapter - 20mm 1.5 Thread |
don't buy the "tru-cool" oil coolers from racepartswholesale...mine is going in the garbage. Time for the RX7 cooler.

No. Double/triple pass gives the coolant a longer path in order to cool down.

I'm sure Sav will post a new Topic when they get it and test it.
