Paul,

Here's my latest cooling version. I think it has all the changes you
recommended (see 2 & 1qtr inch horizontal fold radiators in parallel
(Large).jpg and 2 & 1qtr inch horizontal fold radiators in parallel
- Plumbing (Large).jpg attached)


Q1: I've used the same size hoses for water cooling that Mazda uses. Is
there any good purpose for a larger size?

Q2: We haven't talked about oil lines. Are 3/4" braided stainless steel
lines OK?

Q3: Is a diffuser wall necessary between the oil coolers and the water
HX, or just all open? (the blue colored wall in 2 & 1qtr inch horizontal
fold radiators in parallel - Diffuser (Large).jpg)


As usual, I appreciate all comments and concerns

If you like this, then I'm moving along to fabrication.

Thanks for your help.

That is looking good. You are getting good at 3D dwgs.

Q1: Thats fine. No significant advantage to larger hoses.
The water pump HP is below 3 HP.

Q2: 3/4 ID? If so that is OK.

Q3: A wall would give you the option of a minor adjustment
in the ratio of oil to water cooling. On the other hand
a slight loss of over all air flow would occur. I can't say exactly
how much without a good CFD.
