Acura Integra Type-R Oil Cooler Install

2001 Acura Integra Type R Oil Cooler Install

Here is a basic "schematic" of the cooler:

Here is an update on my oil cooler install. I got all the parts and pieces together and installed on Saturday and Sunday this weekend(3-23&24-02). It was not the easiest install in the world to make...that is for sure. It went together very well after I figured out all the locations for the various pieces. Honda does not leave on inch free with out putting something in it. I took the car out for a hard run on Sunday afternoon and the oil temps are staying well in check now...about 210 degrees at max. The outside air was at about 75 degrees. I have only had one oil leak show up. I guess it's a fitting not snugged down enough. It's only dropping a tiny amount of oil, but I plan on getting into it later this week to see if I can get it fixed. I hope I don't have to take off the front bumper again.

Some numbers as an FYI:
Before the cooler	After the cooler
Max temp = 250+	210 MAX
Oil Press @ 3.5Krpm = 76PSI	Oil Press @ 3.5Krpm = 74PSI
Oil Press @Idle = 25PSI	Oil Press @Idle = 25PSI
Total oil in system = 4.2 Qts	Total oil in system = 5.5 Qts

I got all the supplies from www.racerpartswholesale.com with the exception of a few wire ties and hose hold down clamps.

I want to thank all the folks on Honda-Tech and the Type R list...your help is invaluable!

The Sleaving I used came from www.techflex.com, I got it from a friend of mine who deals in such stuff for his bikes. I have no idea what it would cost to purchase new. Heat shrink tubing or even high temp vinyl tape would work equally as well. I just had the sleaving available, so I used it. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions! sjones@f1design.us
