well my temp guage goes up to 3/4 sometimes when i beat on my car and i stop at a light
my oil psi also dips to 5psi

im figuring the turbo is really heating the oil so i was thinking of putting an oil cooler but where would get the oil lines from?
would a better rad help more?

 

i don't mean to jack the thread...but does anyone know if putting an oil cooler inline with the turbo feed would act like an oil restrictor at the same time?

 

probalby not.

 

5psi oil pressure. you got some serious problems dude.

40 weight or 50 weight oil in it and see what the pressure is

 

Do you have any oil flowing problems or such?Ive never really heard of a problem with oil in a honda even when boosted.

 

before the turbo the oil pressure at idle was 15-20 which is normal when warm
now its fucken super thin

ill try a heavier oil and see what happens

 

15w40 oil ownz me
and im only as fast as a 2005 rustang gt

 

No good? You try that thicker oil yet?


JP

 

the oil is great
i dont overheat at all anymore

castrol 15w40 in the green bottle
it says on the back for turbo or super diesel engines

 

thats not something to be sad about. Those things aren't slouches. :P
