How many of you are running oil cooling setups on your boosted cars? I never see/read in magazines of honda's running oil cooling setups, so I figured I'd ask.

 

i am my friend!\

 

Im runing a B&M Greddy Custom oil cooler setup
LOVING IT

 

i wanna run one.. not running one yet tho.

 

i put it on because i saw in sportscompact magazine that it increased some horsepower they did testing on a 240sx and your car should run better

 

I am running one as well. Got a nice priced cooler off of ebay, sandwich adapter and ss braided lines from summit. I have a 94' gsr so it has the stock oil cooler, but figured that this couldn't hurt.

 

How much power are you guys pushing out? I was thinking that if you have a larger front mount/Oil Cooler/Radiator that the amount of air flow through the last two would be restrictive.

 

Here is my setup. Got the cooler off ebay for $89. Oil filter relocator for $59, lines for like $50 total. I do not run a thermostat on the cooler but I live in Florida, its always hot as hell here. In the winter, I'll just block it off.

Car is daily driven. Takes a while to warm up. I usually start the car 5 min before I go anywhere for the first time in the morning.

Cooler is 12 Long X 2 Thick X 4-5 High

Motor is fully built ls/vtec turbo

 

bump, wanna hear more from others.......

 

I run one
No pics tho
I DO run a thermostat.

Here is a nice little write up to answer all your questions.

 

i plan to get one soon. do i need a thermostat? it is a daily driver and we get alot of snow here.

YOU REALLY NEED ONE!

 

mike1114 what adapter is that and where can i get one

 

On the old car


The new beater

On the new car the OC has aluminium shields that direct air in from the top and out through the opening in the bumpa! The shield also keeps the heated air off of the IC piping. The mounts for the OC have changed since I took this pic.

This is the APP SFIDA kit with a temp controlled sandwich.
