I'm working on swapping a B16 and instead of the oil filter mounting right to the block, it seems to mount to a 'spacer' which is about 2" thick. From this spacer, there are 2 hoses. One runs to the main coolant line that runs along the back of the motor and eh I forget where the other goes, but it appears as if it forces coolant in one side and out the other, through a liquid to liquid oil cooler. I'll get some pics when I can.
I presume the engine came from an XSi because it is a P3 ECU (I think)

So, I guess my question really is this- do Oil coolers come only on certain motors or what? Do they only come on the JDM Integra?
Thanks
Brian

As far as I know no honda ever came with an oil cooler, ever.

 

I don't know if they did or not, but I'm curious as well.

 

i have a 00 si motor in my garage at this very moment, bone stock, and it has nothing of the kind. the oil filter looks just like that of a d series.

 

All the B16A1 engines thar i have seen so far bring that Water/oil Cooler

 

94-95 gsr's came with them and i beleive all itr's and h22's

USDM or JDM, cause my friends b18c doesn't have an oil cooler.

 

what year is it? they only did it on 94-95's my 95 usdm b18c1 and 95 usdm h22 both have them

 

His is a 94.

 

it should be between the oil filter and the block, they quit putting them on in 96 to save money.
the b16 must be a xsi because we also have a b16a and it doesnt have it

 

Well his doesn't have it. I've been under that car many times and never seen any lines going to the oil filter area, except for the oil feed line. I'm sure you could all figure out what that is for.

 

B16s do have an oil cooler (cool with coolant though), it is not the type that looks like a trans cooler or radiator, it is the steel piece you screw your oil filter onto. Next time you change your filter look at the coolant lines going to that piece you screw the filter on that is the cooler. I have two b16's sitting here one in my car and the other in my garage.

What the thread started descriped is the cooler and i am 99% sure all vtec motors come with it (don't kow about d-series). But i have done plenty of swaps and seen it every time.

yeah i need to remove my cooler and replace it with a oil feed line, nice trade-off

 

only motors ive seen with something similar are older accords, early 90s
my b16 does not have that

Your wrong noob, look at where your oil filter screws on there are coolant lines coming from the rear coolant tube to the unit you screw the filter on to. That is the oil cooler, its not much but it does the job.

 

Thanks for clearing this up for me.

as i said before my b16 doesnt have one either, its a 95, but my 95 gsr and h22 do have them. so im gonna say that not all b16's have the cooler, and i do know what/ where they are

The RSX Type S motor has one. I remember reading that if you swap to a K24 block you have to either block the one port on the head or tap out the port. . . something like that.

But yeah I'll take some pics and try to figure out how to post them up here. BTW I wanna say that this site has an amazing amount of responders/viewers. I just posted my question yesterday and I come back to find it on the bottom of the 2nd page! Thats amazing!

Ok thx.
