1 Just swapped 89 jdm turbo engine into 87 n/a body and the new engine has no EGR system, so I wonder if anyone has a jdm vacuum chart? I could use EGR from old engine, but uncertain of total hook-up.

2 My oil cooler is pretty beat up, so wonder if it work well to route oil cooler lines through radiator trans cooler since I have swapped to 5 speed?

All 7m engines has whole for egr. All jdm engines have block off plates. Take the block off plates off and bolt up the egr.

Would be best to just invest in a cheap bigger b&m oil cooler as the radiator has a lot of heat coming from it and remote mounting a separate oil cooler like stock does a much better cooling job.

RX-7 Oil coolers work very well also, and you can get them for cheap.

Rx7 coolers are big and nice but there thermostats have problems which why they are not recommended. A full flow oil cooler with remote t stat is tho.
