oil cooler info needed...
I want to put a oil cooler on my project turbo car. My question is- do I need to shim the oil pump to get higher pressure, for it to work properly? I am running a low mileage obd1 LS motor. Everything is stock. I plan to use 1/2 inch lines but i'm not sure if that is too big or not. If anyone has a setup on there ride, i would appreciate some info on it. thanks

Re: oil cooler info needed...
Thanks for the feedback guys. I have a sandwich plate for the oil filter housing. I understand that if it drops the oil pressure, it will destroy the bearings. I'm just trying to use this for longevity of the motor and turbo. Cooler oil will not breakdown as fast as the burning hot oil coming through the turbo. My main question was what size oil lines to run so that I don't cause pressure drop. I plan to use my car as a D.D. and a weekend track ****.

I know 84-87 crx blocks had stock oil coolers.Old ls integra's have them zc 1.6.You can take the oil cooler off of it and bolt
it up too a ls block.You have too make sure you get that threaded bolt that goes through the oil cooler.I've ran them and my oil pressure
was a hell of alot high after a race.You can use the integra-civic oil filter.It seems too me that would be safer.
