    Hey guys, Admin of an RX-8 Facebook page, owner of a 13B-REW swapped 05 here. Cooling mods are your friend when it comes to reliability. You can change the oil cooler thermostats for cooler models, the rad and fans can be upgraded, and those oil cooler lines you mentioned can be replaced with some nice stainless kits to avoid a massive oil leak all of a sudden (they rot out all the time).

    You're gonna really want to install a coolant temp sensor and gauge too. Normal temps should be around 200 F, if it gets up to 210 or more you can start damaging the engine. Oh, and the aftermarket thermostat is a great idea too.
