I dont even have a oil cooler. Wtf do you need one of those for? Unless your going for insane power #'s there really is no reason for it.

Oil temp goes up when you track your car. You don't need high horsepower for your motor/oil to get hot lol.

Didn't see where the OP said he was tracking his car. Only that it was boosted. Don't assume.

I never said the OP was tracking his car. I was simply making a point in response to you saying "Unless your going for insane power #'s there really is no reason for it.". You assumed I was talking about the OP tsk tsk.

By you saying "I dont even have a oil cooler." are you not making an assumption that since you don't need one, neither does anyone else?

I didn't say that.
Neither response is relevant really. The OP has one, whether needed or not, and wants to know how to mount it.

The length of the hoses will probably determine the general area. Hopefully you have someplace in that area to mount to.

But since no one seems to be able to do a Google search any more.

I dont really know where you would mount it. I have tracked my car and I've had no problems with it. I know some fully built cars at the track have oil coolers but I havent seen a Honda with an oil cooler before. And I've never heard of someone with a Honda putting an oil cooler on their car until now.

if you already have it, theres no point in NOT mounting it, gives you a project to do.

mount it somewhere where it catches high flow air,

i had an idea if your boosted and got an FMIC or fogs mounted,

just throw it behind the intercooler, next to the radiator
