ELO168 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Have a question for those that have aftermarket oil cooler. Where do you route the lines from? The bottom under the oilpan or up via the top engine? Any pictures and why. BTW is for a CRX Thanks/Edmond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucid Moments Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Don't have pics, but I have a sandwich adapter before the oil filter and I run them from there to a remote oil filter and then back to there. May or may not be ideal, but it was easy, and it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELO168 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Ok, but does your lines go under the oil pan or up inside the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucid Moments Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 They go all the way around the engine. If you are standing in front of the car looking at it they come out of the adapter around the left side of the engine to the oil cooler mounted to the right of the (half sized) radiator (car is an EG hatch) then to the drivers side fender well where the remote oil filter is located, then back around the right side of the engine (again as you look at it from the front) and around the back of the engine and back to the sandwich adapter. Bought a kit from Mfactory with pre-made lines and if I hadn't used the length up that way I would have had to cut the lines and buy new ends for it. Please note this is from memory and I haven't really looked closely at it in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELO168 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Ic, mine is a Crx and have full size radiator so need some thinking how to route the lines that way. Don't really want to go under the oil pan, just in case if go off track. Thanks/Edmond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucid Moments Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 No worries, and I don't blame you for not wanting to go under the pan. I would not either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
National Staff Jeremy C. Posted July 10, 2013 National Staff Share Posted July 10, 2013 Edmond, You can route the lines along the frame rail on the either side of the engine. That is how it is done in my car and I have see it done on both sides of the crx. Getting in front of the radiator isn't a problem either because you just run the lines on the side of the radiator. There is enough room there to do it. Good luck with the project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELO168 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Thanks Jeremy, will try that route. Hopefully can get it done before AAA. Still have not done the air brake duct yet. Any recommendations? BTW How did it go at Laguna, any videos? Thanks/Edmond Edmond, You can route the lines along the frame rail on the either side of the engine.

National Staff Jeremy C. Posted July 10, 2013 National Staff Share Posted July 10, 2013 I have some brake pads I can bring you at AAA that will make it so you don't need to worry about the ducting. I used to have ducts on my H4 car though. I made a outlet that attached to the caliper and worked pretty well. This car just isn't the easiest thing to make things fit it! Laguna for HC was a huge hit. Everyone had a great time and the racing was stellar. For me personally, it was a bust as my car didn't make it to the event because we had a problem on the dyno that side lined us for the weekend before it even began. Tis racing though.

ELO168 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Hi Jeremy I have brand new pads and caliper installed already. Cooked the brakes at BW last time, so decided to take precaution. Don't really think would need it at AAA. Sorry to hear your car did not make it to Laguna. Shoot for next year, I should be there too. See you at AAA.
