JW Racing Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Is tapping the block legal in the H1 class. Such as tapping oil for an oil accumulator. or tap into a coolant passage for a gauge? this isnt modifying the actual passage so should be fine correct? i ask because i want to tap my accusump to the oil passage not a sandwich adapter...

slammed_93_hatch Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Not sure if it is legal, but i have never seen an acusump installed like that in a honda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris F Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I've not seen it done in H1. I'd use the stock sender's location or a sandwich plate. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Racing Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 yea i think ill go where the sending unit for the dummy light goes. I have a sandwich plate for vtec already and dont want a collection of plates back there,lol what about the coolant ... I want to put the OEM oil cooler on the b20 and wanted to know if that was legal as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slammed_93_hatch Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 IMO that hole is far far far to small to run the accusump through. I'd run a sandwich plate to an remote oil filer, and run the accusump and the oil for the head from there too. As far as the OEM oil cooler, well in racing it is more of an oil heater most people feel. If i had a motor that had one i would look into getting it out, and would never think about adding one on to a motor that didn't have it.

JW Racing Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 right on, thanks for your input. so most people choose not to run an oil cooler, interesting. I take it water is more important, like a larger radiator vs an oil cooler then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSUCRX Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 depends on where you live, large radiator and oil cooler is almost mandatory to do any kind of racing in the southwest, temps just get way too high on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Racing Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 I am in SW thats why i wanted to do the OEM oil cooler.I have a big radiator and a good cooling system so far... i just want to know if tapping the block for coolant passage is legal so I can mount the OEM oil filter cooler..like a gsr or type r has.

PSUCRX Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 just run the sandwich adapter, running that big remote oil filter, and then running an oil cooler can cause a dangerous drop in oil pressure and make the engine work harder than it needs to. If you run the sandwhich adapter, it will keep the pressure up closer to where it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
