As you know VV heat rises. Old school radiators used to have the outlet on top and the inlet on the bottom- the hotter coolant left the engine and was cooled as it made its way down the core. I'm sure the same principle would apply to an oil cooler. Mounting it sideways would make the most of this effect as well, if the core were plumbed this way.

yeah I was thinking backwards ... but I think you were also thinking backwards when you typed that?? The outlet would be for the "cooler coolant" yes? and hence, at the bottom.

Inlet and outlet referring to the pump involved... you are referring to in and out of cooler... all good!

Hello all,
Would you folks mind chiming in on what exhausts you are running? I might want to hear them firsthand at a meet before I move on one. While I like the FI's numbers and popularity, the Gemini is looking good in terms of price and availability. Your input, guys? Thanks.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Ah, the good ol' Circus I see. I'll check my schedule and I'll put my name on the list if it's a go.

Yep, welcome! Myself, I have the FI non resonated exhaust (look down) with FI resonated high flow cats and the carbon fiber mufflers. I'll be at the meet.

Ugh...would not say 10 cars is considered rollin deep. 10-12 is confortable for something like this, although more would be better.
