Its not in yet but I figure I can give you guys the breakdown on my plans since the coolers have finally arrived at the speed shop I ordered them from last month. It's not like this is top secret cutting edge stuff or anything...3rd gen RX-7 guys have been running multiple oil coolers for years.
The oil coolers are going to Setrab STD 125 series.

If you've listened to Todd Shelton's (StealthTT) oil cooler posts I'm sure you've heard of them.
Setrab (and Mocal too) produce THE best oil coolers on the face of the earth. Formula 1, CART, Nascar...most cars use Setrabs. Their design and manufacturing techniques run circles around the run-of-the-mill coolers. Problem is you pay the price for them. The coolers I got measure 7.5" high, 8.25" wide, & 2" thick. That's the most cooler I could fit where the stock IC's used to go...after all I still have FMIC piping going thru that area. I made up cardboard mockups to test fitment of the coolers and the 125's were it. They were $165 each and the four -8AN fittings were $25.
The lines are going to be -8AN all the way around. I got some info on the line setup from Jeff Lucius' AWESOME site that I go to practically daily (thanks Jeff!).

Thanks to Todd Thomas too for writing some of the article. Here's the low-down on the parts I already have sitting in the garage:
1 - EAR-406008ERL 6' -8AN line
1 - EAR-410008ERL 10' -8AN line
8 - EAR-800108ERL -8AN Straight fitting
3 - EAR-809108ERL -8AN 90 Deg fitting
1 - EAR-812008ERL -8AN 120 Deg fitting
2 - EAR-982408ERL -8AN "T" fitting
2 - EAR-9919EFJERL 16mm-1.5 to -8AN adapters
Total Cost: $371.95
So here's the setup...see if you can follow me.
The metric to -8AN adapters out of the oil filter base followed by two 90 degree fittings angled towards the front of the car. 11" of hose then two more straight fittings into two "T's" then it splits.
Passenger side will have two straight fittings, 43" of hose, then two more straight fittings into the cooler which will be mounted with the outlets on the cooler pointing inboard.
Drivers side will have two straight fittings, 22" of hose, then a 120 deg fitting on line and a 90 deg fitting on the other. Cooler on this side will be mounted with the outlets facing up. The 120 degree fitting on the near cooler outlet will route the line down and behind the FMIC piping and the 90 degree fitting on the far cooler outlet will route the line infront of and over the FMIC piping.
In case this helps here's my sketch:
Excuse tha mad scientist chicken scratch...I get excited.
I know this doesn't have a whole lot of solid info since I haven't actually done it yet but I figured I'd go ahead and post in case somebody wanted to start ordering parts of something. I'll post as it comes together. The coolers are supposed to ship to me tomorrow.
