Re: Correct way to connect an oil cooler
I've never hooked an oil cooler up but that "diagram" seems legible to me, Find out the specifications on that fuel pump then compare to your factory one, your looking for LPH numbers.

Re: Correct way to connect an oil cooler
why do you want to cool the oil going into your turbo which heats it up again? dont you want to cool your engines oil for your engine? thought you were supposed to hook them up between an external oil filter adapter..

correct ^^^ same thing i was thinking

Re: Correct way to connect an oil cooler
You need an external oil filter setup cause d or b series blocks don't have any spots to pull and send oil to a oil cooler. Yeah you could run it like a turbo setup and from your the back of your block to your oil pan but don't oil coolers also lower your oil pressure a bit? I remember on my 86 when people disconnected the stock oil coolers it bumped up their oil pressure and not to use the stock oil cooler setup on 20V engines cause they like honda engines strive on oil pressure with their VTC and VTEC setups and would actually lower their oil pressure using a oil cooler.

Re: Correct way to connect an oil cooler
this is how I setup my turbo oil cooler. I routed from an oil adapter to the front of the radiator. It does drop the oil pressure a little bit but then again you dont' have to run a oil restricter.. ;) I am still running this setup for almost 2 years now.

Re: Correct way to connect an oil cooler
how about use a free port on your block fitting or sandwhich adapter to send oil through a cooler. then return it to the pan through its own drain or somthin . maybe that idea sucks im half asleep
