Integra Type-R Discussion - Discuss general ITR information, technical information (including requests for technical/mechanical help/assistance), modifications, tuning, etc.
Well I got this in the mail yesterday and I can't wait to slap it on...
Thanks Brad for your big time hook up, I really appreciate it!
Does anyone have any tips they care to share about this? such as mounting, running lines or placement? I have only installed these on V8s in the past and never a 4banger... But It does look simple and straight foward.
Now for the only pic I have, but I'll be taking many more while installing it and when it's mounted. ( if any one cares)
fun. Welcome to the coolered oil club. Does that block adapter have a thermostat in it? I'd really suggest one, if not. Just make sure you find a way to mount it really solidly.
Yowza! That thing is huge. The thermostat keeps the oil out of the cooler until the oil is up to opperating temp. Its not really needed, but if you don't let your car warm up and jump in and start driving it will take longer to reach opperating temp.
Just from the design of it it should be a lot more efficient, it's in the direct path of air and is way bigger. Since I don't have a oil temp guage I'll never know... But one day I'll get one hooked up.
Are there any Oil cooler users that have a before and after temp reading to share?

I'm pretty sure that the stock oil cooler is just always opperating. Its just a circular colllar around the oil filter line that has coolant running through it at all times.
