Hello!
Sory for my English. I am from Russia and I known it not well. :P
But I have some question and I hope that you will answer for it.
I am built my own civic turbo with D15B2 engine and swap to MPFI. I am very worry about oil temperature and I want to install oil cooler.
But oil cooler can low oil preasure and I think that oil pump will work very hard...
I think about installation additiona loil pump for oil cooler. Is my opinion true or not?
If I am right what oil pump I must install. What will be better? Like this http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/mocal1.htm or like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...1647957&rd=1,1
Thanks alot for your help!!!

 

Dude your in Russia. I don't think you need a oil cooler.

 

Oil operates most effectively between 65 and 95 degrees celcius.
lower than that is asking for trouble.

+1

 

Why you think so?
I am building my car for ring races. I think I have a troble on the ring if I don't install oil cooler and big radiator.

 

I think we are under the assumption that it is much colder on average than here in the US.

What does the temperature get up to in the summer?

Alot of turbo cars here dont have, and dont need oil coolers.

 

In summer we have about 35 C (95 F).
I drive Audi RS4 with broken stock oil cooler and I have problemm with temperature on it then I drive it realy fast.

PS I just wont to understand and be shure need I oil cooler or not.

 

RS4 is quite a machine, but the d15 isnt nearly as input oriented as the audi...you can sneeze on an audi and make it run weird. Believe me, I know.

Chances are you dont need an oil cooler, but if you are that concerned about it, you would need a temp gauge to read what your oil temp actually is.

 

Yuri can help. Or make gay **** with you. Either way it's a loss.
