Background:
I'm finally finishing up my ZC swap. (DOHC black valve cover)
I had an OBD0 ZC for 5 years in my CRX but the rings finally gave way so I ordered an OBD1 ZC and am now swapping some parts over to the new block.

Question:
I noticed the OBD1 ZC block does not have the factory/OEM oil cooler on the back of the block (between the oil filter and block) like the OBD0 block has.

Is it worth it to move the oil cooler over to the new block?

I will be putting my old turbo setup I had on the OBD0 ZC back onto this "new" engine. So I'm thinking it might help a little with oil temps.
Just wanted to see what you guys thought. I searched but didn't find any related posts.

BTW
I called HondaAutomotiveParts.com this morning and found out you can order replacement coolant lines for this oil cooler by going into the 88-91 CRX HF model. If you try the DX or Si, the parts are not listed. Hope this helps someone out there who wants to replace their brittle/aging oil cooler lines.

Also, I'm not interested in adding an aftermarket oil cooler at this time. I want to keep everything stock appearance-wise (will add turbo, etc later after I smog the car)

 

i dont see why not...i had it on my old zc, and i guess it could help a bit...
