Think i have decided on removal of mine, as i want to mount the oil cooler between the inter cooler and radiator.

Bit off topic but I haven't got a clue what i will need to buy in order to achieve the following, so if anyone can give me ideas on what they have bought that would be great. I am looking for good quality stuff while not breaking the bank too much.

oil filter relocation
oil cooler(to fit between intercooler and radiator)
thermostatic oil plate thing
best hoses/sizes to buy

and anything else i may need

err... why doesn't it all fit??
Seems to all fit in the manual?

Yea i have seen a few sites selling stuff, but not sure what i need, heard about people removing oem oil cooler thing? does that need to be done?

Do you mean me? the traction fluid cooler fits between fine but i mean putting a oil cooler their too, removing the aircon will give me more room, remove some weight and improve the airflow, and i wont miss it, the only thing is if the car ever gets sold it might put someone off having no aircon

Sorry no wasn't aimed at you.
I have an oil cooler fitted where traction cooler should go already, hopefully will fit either side of condenser.
I left heat exchanger on and no stat in Sandwich plate, heat exchanger helps get oil up to temp nice and quick so no need to remove.

The set up depends on what you want. I personally found getting to the oil filter difficult (on my garage floor under jacks) and was worried about no fixing it on tight enough in the limited space, hence why I got it relocated. But it's personal preference over necessity.

I would recommend getting decent hoses for the cooler though, just to avoid them collapsing and your engine getting lunched.

Just going back to the map sensor - from what I've read, and for an 00 car with AEM V2, the below is a good option?


which is listed on H-Tune for £139.99 - to make that work though I'll need the below? How does it connect and where in the engine does it go? I've set aside a few days in December to fit the SC kit, fuel pump and injectors, am pretty confident in doing that, but I've no idea on the map sensor?




Also, clutch wise, whats recommendations again? I've got an genuine Honda OEM clutch that's done around 12k miles in the car with a HOnda flywheel that's done the same mileage.

Just get a Hondata or similar (Tegiwa sells Speed Factory) map sensor. Fits directly into the OEM location, so no need to worry about plumbing in extra bits. Also cheaper than the AEM one (Before you bought all the other bits to make it fit).

I've got the 3.5 bar AEM map sensor, I bought both those bits but might hard mount it to the manifold, not sure yet.
I would go AEM map sensor so it plays 100% well together.
