My pics are of various coolers from differing years.

Paul, what Mazda is that off again, and location, I am just trying to visualize , the second pic looks like a separate attachment bracket with two bolt holes. Line in, line out.

The FC is the long single skinny cooler N326-14-700A ...yes?
Same oil cooler for all FC's. Would like to see an RX-8 one cracked open Paul. |

Here's the EPC diagram for the FC showing the thermo pellet.

Paul. Here is the FC Part Numbers 8871-14-810 Thermo Pellet 1757-14-821 Spring I can tell you that from the parts model codes (front 4 numbers) the pellet 8871 is from Series I RX-7, and the 1757 spring is from the original 1974 13B RX-4. |

I guess the RX-8 OC thermostat is in this location..

maybe that could be used for a drain plug too?

Great to use as a cooler drain spot, but I am pretty sure the RX-8's don't have this removable bolt, the parts pic above does not show one and I don't recall seeing one on mine, you could always undo the oil cooler hose OD to drain mate.??
Correction, gee I am an old stupid BASTARD at times, yes there plainly is a bolt head there??? Derrr DUMB aren't I, a senior moment. So yes, OD perhaps this is a drain point...MMMmm will have to investigate... Sorry Dudes.. |
WOW...
$87.03 US for the 8871 Pellet and $2.81 for the 1757 Spring, is it GOLD Plated or something. 8871-14-810 Thermo Pellet 1757-14-821 Spring |
This is the access point to the thermostat as Mr Engman reminded me last night. That's how we modify them on the FD and FE (SE3P). The design is a bit different as the bolt head will not separate from the thermostat.

Here's what it looks like inside boys and girls:

Paul is that thermostat unit able to be replaced without buying a whole new cooler? That would certainly be a cake install!
|
well looks like a good drain spot and it appears to be on the passenger side?
Good info guys--great job--Paul you are the man! Ash you aint bad yourself mate.:) olddragger |

Or modified as we do. The problem is Mazda does not sell the thermostat by itself so no part number exists just as Ash pointed out. Paul. |

So that is on the passenger side right? Is there a downside to constantly removing and reinstalling that bolt/thermostat?

You will be surprised at how little oil you will get out by draining the coolers.
I opened both and cleaned out the lines with an air nozzle...and got maybe an extra 1/2 - 3/4 quart for about 1/2 hours work...... Just not worth it in the big picture :) |
Oh, well scratch that then.
|
Okay, does anyone know what size the oil cooler line fittings are? Does anyone have a full diagram of the stock oil cooler system?
|
I used -10AN lines for all my oil lines...Not sure if that helps :)
|
So you ditched the factory lines for an fittings and aftermarket lines?
|
It's kinda in progress..I did it with stock coolers and new lines...but now I'm redoing the front with the new nose..and will put in larger cooler with fans when I do that
|
Are you going with one large single cooler?
|
Nope...2 approx. 11X10" with fans :) Just have to find the right units
