I was wondering why 4th gen 3sge has a diagonal engine placement in the bay. the 7afe has a vertical engine placement. and the 5sfe it sits diagonally. Why is that, is it supposed to help with weigh distribution? does the 3rd gen 3sge sit diagonally as well?

Ok thanks! really s series engines have factory oil coolers? But they are not meant for racing are they. Does anybody happen to have a pic of it? Is it necessary to buy an aftermarket oil pump for racing? or the stock one is just fine.
Can anybody else elaborate on the difference between factory oil filter size and the mobile filter/trd oil filters? Also the reason why they put a metal zip tie over the oil filter on the youtube vid link.
