I have a late model rx7 oil cooler that I want to run on the manxter. I found it a few years ago and don't remember which line was the input and output. Any ideas? Also is there any way to change the bango fittings to something I could run 1/2 inch oil line to.Thanks Doran

A number of years ago, Ken Trongo Sr., Gene Condon & I believe a few others, installed a Mazda RX7 oil cooler on their buggys. Gene keeps pretty good track of stuff, so he'd probably have a wealth of information for you. I recommend contacting him.

One other thing - I hope that is a new oil cooler. If it is used and the previous engine had problems, you can probably never get the inside clean. Tom

Great cooler

I gave mine to Ognort who is running it on his and his dad's

In your article in the manxmania you mentioned Ken Trongo found a way to reduce the oil lines down w pipe fitting and was wondering if you remember how he did it

Ken sr. did reduce it with pipe fittings and it did look like a mess as well
It took quite a few pieces.
What I did was just take the Banjo fittings cut them in half and then welded on my fitting eands I wanted
then powder coated them
came out really clean and was easy to do
