I remember a while back seeing that the RealTime Type R's have a remote oil filter location where the battery would normally sit. Does anyone have pictures showing this?

Also, has anyone done this?

 

this might be a little t00 close-up though *shrugs*

George,

If you want run an oil cooler, the remote mount is necessary. I just finished installing my cooler and remote filter mount. I will post the pictures in a little while.

 

can also run a bigger filter.

 

taken this year at Mosport



oil catch can on the front driverside (behind headlamp) , remote air filter at stock battery location (firewall passenger side).

Yoshi's and my pictures should help you now...

cheers

 

Here is mine. Let me know if you want specific photos.

 

Andy,
Have you weighed you car at various stages of the build-up, or even now?
What track do you normally run w/ car?
Have you thought of doin any other recing?

 

Andrew, what filter you runing? and how much extra capacity have you added? where'd you get dat chit too...

D

 

ppihctypr,

Before I removed the power steering components, the car weighed 2309 lbs w/ 3/4 tank of gas. Have have only removed pieces that are bolted or attached to the car -- i.e. NO sheetmetal trimming.

D,

I am running a K&N oil filter (#HP-3001) right now. It was a choice between a Fram or the K&N, so I opted for the K&N at the time. It's quite a bit larger than the stock filter, and holds about 1/2 quart of oil by its self.

I picked up all of the components at a local industrial supply store, and the adapters from a local race shop. The total cost for everything (Earls 14 row cooler, filter relocation brackets, -10 lines, Earls fittings, etc.) was around $350 I think.

Hey Andrew (not to hijack this thread),

Are those perma-cool fittings? Could you provide me with a part number for the adapter at the block and the oil filter adapter? Also, it looks like you have two unused lines at the filter, correct? Could they be used for oil temp/pressure senders?

BTW, very nice setup. I'm trying to put something together like it myself. Thanks for any help.

 

andrew... any pics specifically of your brake ducting?

 

ITR#231,

I used this Honda Hybrid article as a basis for my install. It contains all of the part numbers and necessary information.

Ben,

Here is a passenger side view of the ducting -- its pretty primitive. I hope to fabricate some actual brackets once the splitter and undertray development are complete.



I used heavy duty zip-ties to attach the ducting to the tranny mount and suspension points.

 

Nice setup. Does all that extra plumbing and the oil cooler require an additional pump in the system somewhere?

 

When you change the oil do you have to do anything different when you drain it, or does it all drain out like normal?

 

 

hrm.... first time i ever noticed they cut out a portion of the frame of the hood......

D

 

Must be something new, Look at the pic from above
compared to this one from the top of the post

 

No additional "pump" is necessary. I just got everything plumbed and running, so I have yet to perform an oil change -- though I don't think it will be any different, except being easier to get to the filter.

The oil system now requires 6.5 quarts, and the filter alone holds over a half quart.

what kind of box is that??

 

The air box on the realtime ITR's are NSX Air boxes

 

looks good! - but goodbye ABS....

 

what arm did they use on their cars with that nsx airbox?? was it the one from a nsx?

 

Hey COOL...is that an intercooler!?

HAhaha

What kind of battery boxes have you guys used to relocate the battery? I'm also assuming zero gauge for wire?

 

btw while I am asking that.. anyone have a site featuring the integra's?
