Any here running an oil cooler setup on their turbo 2nd gen?
I am currently looking into it as I would like to get into some road racing…seeing what others like and are currently running…
Provide links with pricing if you can please 
Where’s the cooler part? What brand…
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks as if it is located right underneath the oil filter.

ill get a better pic, its the oil thermostat under the oil filter, b&m oil cooler i paid like 60 bucks for it
Links/part #'s?
I can up with something the other day…I have to post up a snap shop on my other puter. Shit came out to about $500 for everything though…LOL
are you going with a baffled oil pan too? i would do an oil cooler but i want to keep my bay looking clean.
here is the checkout sheet I came up with after finding a post on Honda-Tech…
I think his list was a little skimpy and the prices have gone up…
does the sandwich include ports in say -4 or -6AN for the turbo oil line and maybe another for LS/VTEC or an oil pressure sending unit for a gauge?
This lightweight, compact high flow sandwich plate incorporates a 180 deg. F thermostat to regulate oil flow to the cooler until the engine is properly warmed up. 1 5/16" thick with 1/2" NPT female ports.
Dont think it has provisions for VTEC heads or turbo feeds.
I wonder if you can sandwich two sandwich’s together…shit I didnt think of this. I will be using a GE Sandwich for my LS-Vtec 
2 sandwich plates? the center bolt is a male to male adaptor so that wouldn’t work. doesn’t seem like a very smart idea anyways. why wouldn’t you run a gauge adaptor like part number 100191, at http://www.anplumbing.com/shop/index.php?shop=&dept=Gauge!_Adapters
?
^^ thats a good point, you could always tap off the block, but the sandwiches are such a clean foolproof kinda thing ya know…
you guys really think this is necessary for drag racing? maybe road racing but for drag i dont think i will hook one up.
No this certainly isnt needed for drag.
Road racing and autocross mostly…
Kraze…the sandwich arent male to male dopey, think about it, that would be impossible. You could put two adapters on, but would it fit behind the block in our tiny engine bays???
anyone i ever saw was. i know golden eagle ones and oem oil coolers are. you remove the stud thing the oil filter screws onto and screw a special one in. y not use a fitting like above? then its nice and easy.
Get a universal remote oil filter kit and plumb the cooler in line with it. Why do you guys make this shit out to be so freakin’ hard?

You should be able to get a good cooler for about $125 at the most.
If you want to make it super duper, buy a remote oil filter adapter(attaches to the block) seperate, plumb it with -10 or -12(what I use on my RB26DETT) AN line to a NASCAR take out oil cooler then to a billet remote filter than back to the adapter that attaches to the block.
The Summit part above will do the EXACT same thing except be a hell of a lot cheaper. I went with the second version on the RB26 in my ZCar.
Does anyone still use the oil pressure sensor? I sure as hell don’t. I’m a gauge man myself. I am plumbing my turbo feed and my gauge from that port in the side of the block with a “Tee”.
No one is saying this is hard…in my mind it needs to be done right, I personally havent done an oil cooler setup on a car yet, so I asked for links and part numbers of others who have.
Thanks for your link…but arent you at all concerned about lowering oil pressure with all of that line and the heat exchanger all together? Not to mention you would be controlling the oil flow with a thermostat right? And during warm-up…you certainly dont want oil to be flowing throught the heat exchanger, you want your oil to warm up to temp quickly, how does your ‘easy’ system accomplish this?
Lowering the oil pressure is definetly my concern when it comes to plumbing an oil cooler. :uhoh:
Well now! I did some searching on team-integra.net and an interesting thread came about.

I’m surprised the cooler isn’t on the GSR’s though. It serves two purposes, it pre-heats the oil when the engine is cool and cools the oil when it gets hot.
Kwan mentions his opinion on why the GSR’s don’t have the oil cooler while the Integra Type R has one equipped. Coming from factory, I doubt the plumbing for this oil cooler can lower oil pressure. The oil cooler is not located too far for long lines to be used, but it doesn’t need to be located where air needs to be in contact; the coolant will be the one lowering oil temperature and heating the oil upon startup.

Haven’t posted in forever, but just throw my .02 out about oil coolers. I put a B&M one on my teg, using that summit kit, but using AN lines and fittings, and incorporating a thermostat. What i found after doing/buying all of it, was that i think mocal makes a remote filter mount and thermostat that is all in one (assuming you’re remote mounting, if not, they have a sandwich plate i believe as well that includes a thermostat). The reason i didn’t initially buy the mocal remote mount was that it was more than double what the summit kit cost, what i didn’t factor in tho was that the AN fittings and line required to plumb between the Tstat and remote mount cost more than the difference beetween the summit and mocal parts. I don’t have any pics of my setup, but it’s basically the same spot as godrifttoday’s setup, except i made a plate that holds the Tstat and remote filter, and bolted that to the “frame rail”. As far as reducing oil pressure, i haven’t noticed a drop (although i’m only using a crappy autometer gauge), my feelings are that there shouldn’t be, because of the way the oil is pumped and not really compressible. Not sure how you would calculate possible pressure drops from this setup, and don’t think there really would be unless the pump had some way of bypassing the oil due to too much resistance, but there is no bypass. The way i think of it is basically as a hydraulic pump. Just my .02
I guess the specific amount of drop (if any? i’m sure maybe a bit) is questionable. One should take note the diameter of the lines and the length. Does the remote locater have to be at a certain level? I am definetly going to use an oil cooler in my setup :ohyeah:
thanks for your input…it allows me to have more choices
btw…what is your whole setup like? (i.e. engine modifications, power output, blah)
