i am thinking of making a custom oil cooler, i have a turbo, and i know the oil gets pretty warm after a while
first off, who has done this on their integra? any tips?
my first step i think i will do will be a relocation kit for the oil filter, after that, i will run lines to an oil cooler next to the radiator (i have half size radiator due to turbo clearance)
does this seem like a good idea? what price am i looking at? im gonna try to get parts from ebay, classified, ect. and keep it under $100
thanks for tips, ideas, and opinions

 

anyone??

 

its a good idea. lots of people do it... i will be doing it also soon....

im just getting a big oil cooler out of a caddilac or something....

I don't really see the point in running an oil cooler. I have been running my setup that reaches over 250*F on a regular basis with no problems at all. There are tons of boosted Hondas without oil coolers that have never run into reliability problems due to oil temperature.

But to answer the question, the only way you will get an oil cooler for under $100 is to use an OEM one that sandwiches between the block and oil filter. The water pipe, hose, and cooler should be pretty cheap and relatively effective for the price.
