Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

    What is your need for an oil cooler though?

    If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

        How hot is your turbo?
        Are you running coolant through the turbo housing?
        A turbo exhaust housing is the equivalant to an exhaust header - Of course it will be hot.

            Before you can say its too hot, you need to know if it is too hot or not.

            Its like saying "I have an oil leak" yet there's no oil dripping on the ground, the oil level isn't going down, and you can't see a leak.

              well all understand what your boy is talking about...buttt just think for yourself about how lubricated a engine and turbo bearings need to be...this lubrication would only efficiently at a certain engine temperature...why do you think the thermostat only open at high temps and not at very low temperatures..this is because the engine needs to maintain a high level temp for the oil lubrication to work efficiently...now take away that which the engine needs and you will have a unhappy engine...

              before you go dropping a oil cooler on anything...put a oil temp gauge on your engine first...look at the honda pdf manuals and see what oil temperature is required for the engine to operate and maximum efficient..then for sure...you yourself wouldn't even question weather or not you need a oil cooler

                I understand...About the temp and how the oil works under the temp...But i guess I was asking If its a good idea to run one or not..And I know theres is a stock oil cooler on the f22a6 which i have and dont have one...So i was thinkn if the motor came with one stock why shounld'nt i run one after putting on a turbo?I also looked around and seen that not every f22a6 has one on there unless they where taking off?But i seen how they where hooked up and im good on that...I don't know I guess I'll just put a temp gauge on it and see..Thanks.....I know you guys that run dsm turbos have a spot to run coolant through which is nice...thats how the stock f22a6 oil coolers work off of the coolant from what i understand and seen...I wish i could run one of them and keep my oil sandwich plate...Without changing a hole bunch of stuff around....
