Does the oil filter relocation kit move the stock oil cooler as well? Or does it just move the filter to a new spot using a sandwich adapter that goes on top of the stock cooler?

Reason I'm asking is for mock-up purposes, I'm going to be building a turbo manifold for my ap1, and I have a spare motor I'm mocking up on, Just need to be sure of turbo placement.

Thanks

here is a pic of what I'm talking about

 

I can only speak for the ILP oil filter relocation kit.
This one removes the sandwich oil cooler, as you can see in the picture. Left are the coolant hoses you just connect together.

I was very worried about this myself when setting up my car, but realized the difference the sandwich cooler does, is mainly when the car is hard driven. When the oil actually reaches temperatures well above the coolant temp. I regularly checked the temp on the oilfilter (tempgun) to get an understanding of if the car got hot or not, and it didn't seem at all from my driving at least.

If i would go track, I would install a separate oil cooler, just to be safe.


Pic was for another purpose but i guess it works for this aswell.

 

k cool just the kind of pic I was looking for. So I'll leave the stock cooler there when moking up, as it seems to be the same size as the sandwich adapter.

I wasnt worried about it for the cooling aspects, juzt for fitment
Thanks for the pic.

 

The Greddy one keeps the stock oil cooler.

 

You can keep the OC if you want to with the IP Kit, but it all depends on which manifold and turbo you use.

If you look closely you can see the U-Bend heater hose I used rather than plugging the hoses.

I would recommend an external oil cooler if you do not use a water-cooled turbo.

 

wow bro, haven't heard from you in awhile. you doing okay? check my sig for my setup if you need any ideas. shoot me a pm if you have any questions...

 

Sup man? I saw your post about the re-tune. I'm not going to run the IP manifold thou, I have a whole shop setup in my basement, TIG, bandsaw, drill press, etc etc So I'm going to be building a lot of my own stuff for this turbo setup.

I have a garrett t3 60-1 I am going to be running, looking for around 500whp maybe 550 if I'm lucky.
Planning on a ramhorn or topmount, haven't decided what I want to build yet, AEM EMS, bosch 1000cc inj, 4" exhaust, hopefully aluminum if I can find a source cheap enough.

You coming back to NY anytime soon? I'd love to check out the whip!

 

and btw thanks for the other pics and info guys..

 

That oil filter relocator comes with a large banjo bolt that replaces the stock spigot. Many don't and you're expected to spin the adaptor on in place of the oil filter.

But if you're tight for space and want to remove the stock oil cooler you need to replace the spigot with a shorter one from a Civic (or other honda model that doesn't use an oil cooler).

 

Hey mate,

what plate is that? Also, who sells it, do they sell the sandwich plate separately and how much would that set me back?

I have a revhard mani and I'm pretty sure the turbo will run into probs with the relo kit I bought.


Cheers.
