    Default 1.8L conversion and the oil cooler

    I'm doing a 1.8L conversion, and the motor has an oil cooler.

    I can see where there is a line from the oil cooler to the rear of the motor, but where does the other port connect to?

    Was it connected to the throttle body and then some point on the block ?

    Any got a link to a web diagram for this?

    ok, I'll see how that works.

    Never thought I would connect an oil line to a coolant port.

    Hmm then I need to find out where the coolant port(with oil in it) gets back into the block. I have no hoses on this 1.8L motor.

    Ok, a friend has straightened me out.

    Those ports on the cooler are not flowing oil, it's flowing coolant, as one side of a heat exchanger.
