seems like it would be easier then fucin with hard to reach block fittings for feed lines and pressure gauge, but if you had all kinds a 4 hoses n ---- hooked up to your oil filter could it cause unsafe oil pressure drop or anything?

what about using some ---- like a heater core for a oil cooler

 

You don't need it for a feed on a Miata 1.6- the block is already tap with an oil feed port under the exhaust manifold. This was a left over from the Mazda GTX. Same goes for a coolant source if you've got a watercooled turbo. OTOH - those do work for coolers- I've used the cheaper types on race Miatas without a problem. The HMT solution for the cooler is to use the sandwich cooler and threaded mount tube from a 1.8. Then just run coolant lines to it.

 

how about on hondas

 

i have one on my rsx for my oil pressure gauge and it works good. just make sure you tigthen the bolt that "sandwiches" to the block, so the it seals good. it not youll get slight leaks.
