Default Oil cooler adapter..need to know if it'll fit

I am looking into getting a sandwich adapter to run lines to an oil cooler for my car, but I need to know if it will first fit my block (B16). Here's the info on it:

It's 1 in. tall, and has 3/8 in. NPT inlet and outlet connections. It easilty attaches to your engine’s 3/4 in.-16 oil filter mount with an o-ring seal.



Will this thing fit my block, and if not, would anyone know where I can find one that will?

it won't because the threads on your block oil filter fitting are metric.

It will screw on, the real question should be about clearance. They come in multiple thread sizes, one of which is the Honda size.

They do make them that fit. Check out www.racerpartswholesale.com

you have M20x1.5 threads on your car...all recent Hondas use this thread pattern

The hardest part is getting the lines to work with the tight...I mean TIGHT!!! clearances. Check out my sig and go to the webpage where I installed my cooler....it should help...also check out this thread.

Why not just get a oil filter relocation kit? this will allow you to have oil cooler and mount the filter in a more accessible area. It would cost about the same too.
