I don't remember if it was the CTSC or the Vortech that a bracket sandwiched between the VTEC silinoid and the head.

Did it also serve as an oil pick-up point for the blower?

I was thinking about machining a couple brackets and using some braided lines to move the VTEC silinoid out of the way as well as using the oil as a feed to the turbo.

My only worry is a lack of oil pressure for VTEC engagement due to more lines or the pressure drop caused by feeding the turbo from the same line.

What do you guys think?

Yay or Nay?

 

hmmm pretty quite around these parts...

ok, I'll post when I'm done later in the year.

 

the solenoid attaches with a rectangular shaped gasket and has 3 or something ports i think. it also has a filter on it. That wouldn't be worth relocating. Just b careful to use A BSPT fitting on the Oil Pressure switch and you're fine. if something does go wrong and it cracks, you can always JB weld it shut and run a tee off a 4 port oil relocation kit.

 

I don't think understand exactly.

I'm going to move the VTEC silinoid to make room next to the motor. Tapping the oil feed into the silinoid is just an added benefit.

I'm no stranger to custom work and turbo systems

PS - JB weld is a hacks way to fix mistakes

Do it right the first time

 

If you're happy to make a sandwich plate similar to the Comptech unit with an oil take off you should be fine as long as you use the required restrictor.

However the machining for the through holes and figure 8 gasket will be expensive.

 

If you're considering a couple of plates with lines between then to really relocate the solenoid I would recommend against it for the pressure reasons you outlined.

 

The machining would be expensive but I have access to a machine shop as well as a certified CNC operator

I only plan on moving the silinoid to the "front" of the motor so I could have space to route my downpipe
