most people say you dont need to run an oil cooler, i say bs run one anyways if you want you car , they even did a test in sport compact magazine that they saw an increase in spool up from the oil cooler any one remeber this issue? , better do it right the first time. total cost was $ 327 dollars at jegs.com im not responsible for you damaging your car.
first you need to get all the parts these are all the parts i used.

you can do the hose your self it does take time to put all the fittings in, justi think its one of the most time consuming

i took out the headlight to see how i was going to route the lines, u dont really need to but ii learned that too late, well i hide my wiring so that was good , this is for a DA integra

drill a hole to hold the oil cooler

mount the cooler

make sure uyou use teflon tape to prevent any leaks, and do not put it right next to the tip of the treads because it can go in to your system at least 2 treads back and your cool

make sure you tighten them i used a 23mm socket

once you mount the oil cooler you might have a problem making the lines fit, i dint want it to rub the part of the structure of the car , just incase vibration or anything may break the line so what i did was...

fold her back and your cool

this is how the lines come out when oil cooler install the lines are appx. 1 foot long

then make some more 2 lines appx 3 1/2 foot long

put all the an to npt adpater on the thermostat

it should hold like that

next put the 90 degree fittings on the sandwich first remember teflon tape!

then un-screw your oil filter
and you should see this


then put the lines are ur done

Good job, this is an informative write up, but I think it is a very expensive oil cooler setup imho.

drift2004

the way i see it you get what you pay for, yeah i could have gotten regular hoses but i rather pay once than twice, but a regular hose may busrt on me then my motor is gone, i wouldnt risk it

Great write-up

i think i have heard this before but when you install an oil cooler doesent it lower your oil pressure.

m R g S r

it could.....but when the oil is cooler it will be thicker, and you will see more pressure.

jayman322

looks pretty good, cooler oil could never be a problem, i'd like to hear other peoples experiences with oil coolers, do you all run them or not? i'm definately considering it on my setup. there is a kit for sale in the sponsors classifieds also, wing gt or some ****. peace

After you install the turbo it would be even better if you run the return line from the cooler into the oil inlet of the turbo, so you get cool oil into the turbo this will increase the turbo life abit more and you don't have to run to many oil lines from your block.
Good luck and good job on the oil cooler.

Dont oil coolers put more strain on the oil pump? Good write up though

That would great if the engine and turbo had similar oul requirements, but something tells me that the turbo would be a *slight* restriction in the cooling circuit. You could add a cooler just in the oil feed line, but with the turbo flowing &lt;.5 GPM, it won't do much.

I'll have some pics of mine by tomorrow.

I bought a oil cooler from egay and mounted behind a foglight hole in my EG. Fog light hole is cut out. Mine looks like a mini intercooler, sorta like how you see some drifting skylines in the D1 championships have a little oil cooler in a hole in their grill.

I used regular tranny lines from vatozone, bought fittings from local hydraulic supply shop. My oil cooler was $89, hose was like $50, oil filter relocater kit was like $59, Fittings were like $30

Its been on the car for several weeks now, no leaks no problems. Car takes longer to warm up but I just let it sit for a few before leaving in the morning. I had some overheating issues, thats why I installed it, it was my tstat but I thougtht this couldn't hurt on a turbo honda. Plus I live in Florida, its ALWAYS hot as *** here.

I ran a oil cooler in my old setup
and Im runing a oil cooler in my new setup

I was able to run 12 psi on a stock d16y7 all day with a good tune and sold the motor and it's now runing in someone else car, Boosted for 9 months at 12 psi and raced the **** out of it, keep my oil psi semi low, but steady, never had 1 problem with it, well when I 1st installed it, it leaked like a mother ******, but i was able to fix it
i went with a greddy adapter and a b&M unit and a few custom lines and clamps it wasn't even that bad.


Don't mind the ricer red wire loom, it just covered up my muti color vacume lines.

Notice on the firewall, i also relocated my oil filter and made oil changes a snap.
This whole setup was sold for a D15 to save gas

drift2004

i believe a turbo only needs about 40-50 psi of pressure to work,
