will an external aftermarket oil cooler cause me any problems with a stock B18C jdm ITR motor?

thanks

 

I don't see why an external oil cooler would cause problems. On the other hand, I don't think it is necessary. After all, the B18C5 (and B18C1) already has an oil cooler in stock form.

 

It depends on the type of racing you do but also the climate you live in.

It's borderline during the summertime here in NorthWest, right by Canada.... so I imagine a place like SoCal to perhaps benefit....

Typically if you are street driving or just some autocross, the stock one works just fine.... since it is coolant/water based.... depending on how comfortable you are....race with the windows down and the temp slider all the way to hot and the fan speed on "1"

 

If you feel you really need an oil cooler, make sure it has a thermostat to allow the oil to come up to the right temperature before it flows through the cooler. There is such a thing as oil that is too cool.

 

Dude, I live in PHOENIX and I don't have any problem with my motor. The stock oil cooler is a nice touch. I'd say to jsut forego the aftermarket one unless you are runnign extra high CR.

 

the stock oil cooler should be enough

 

How high of compression before it becomes a problem. My oil is shearing like a **** on 11.5 to 1 compression here in ohio in my 99 type sh all motor lude! How or where would I connect an external oil cooler to my car with the oil pump bolting directly to the block?
