You could try to find one that fits or just buy a new one from Honda.

It originally came from the old school preludes. I ordered mine off the Honda catalog. Honda and Acura have different catalog books.

INFACT, go to youtube, type in CTR in japan, watch the video of the b16b, bone stock sitting at 8.5k-10.5k+ bone stock going around the lap trials.. for 3 hours

Tuned plenty of 500+whp cars , that dont run oil coolers, why should you, still doesn't answer my question, do you have a oil temp gauge thats getting blown up or something?? Tranny temps get hotter then oil temps @ times.

Prelude's and 1st gen Odyssey's ran the oil coolers as well. An oil filter oring will not work they look totally different. good luck.

Hey the guy wants an oil cooler so what's the big deal? Honda put them on cars from the factory but you ain't giving them any grief.

And can you please show me where a transmission will have a higher operating temprature than an engine with out some major malfunction afoot.......I have got to see it to believe it!

Go look up some road racing info. You will find more talking about using a transmission cooler because the temperatures get way up there.

... an oil cooler is more of a hassle then its worth puttng to use...ya, stock itrs and gsr came with them..they work fine...theres no need to move it, as you can clearly see it creates problems with leaks and other things. If done wrong you lose oil psi, you could possiblely prolonger how long it takes for the oil to reach your head internals.


also, i vaguely remembering a guy in the fi section having problems with tranny temps and not oil temps, i said its possible for a tranny to get just as hot as oil temp..considering theres less mass and less oil to heat..


again..unless ur making 1000whp autoxing theres really no reason for a oil cooler.
