1. Yes, as long as you have the right hose to connect to it, and the right mount to mount it.

2. Nope. the size seems too big.

3. You need 2, not sure how long, I forgot. you have to find the measurements yourself outa another RX-8.

4. See above.

You're very welcome.

P.S. You should just get a used Rx-8 oil cooler with the hose instead. Look at your local junk yard, or just get one from Mazmart (our forum vendor)

thanks for the reply bros..

any idea what's the perfect size of oil cooler to fit the front OEM bumper? as rx8 is rare over my place and it's nearly impossible to get one in the junk yard...
