Don't bother asking about silvic's experience with the greddy kit, it's obvious they had the dealership install the thing

 

I could easily make your payments but thats not important here, and i would not allow any ricer or bling mods to be performed only performance based mods.



The fittings on the kit are good as i believe they are made by earls, i did not have any leakage problems but as a precation we did use some thread sealer, not teflon tape. I had upgraded the engine with a high flow oil pump so circulation on a stock configuration i couldnot tell/help you. this was used on a b18 t3/t4 turbo setup.

yeah i have no experience with any kind of cars whatsoever a standard dealership wont even install aftermarket parts on a car due to liability issues, so shows how much you know, i have friends that work/own their own performance businesses, and i help out and never once have had a customer come back and complain about a modification that was done, unless they mucked with it and screwed something up.

 

i've had the oil relocate kit moved to my airbox location. (92 civic) it was convenient for a while until the fittings all backed out no matter if you torqued them correctly. (greddy kit)

it isnt worth the hassle of the leaks that it causes. you also lose a bit of oil pressure which is important on VTEC and iVTEC engines. throttle response is sacrificed a bit.


if you decide to go this route, make sure you get quality fittings and high pressure hoses. the greddy kit is a POS.

 

im not sure about the cooler kit, but the relocate kit comes with earl's clamps that look like fittings. its basically a fancy clamp. the fittings are made by greddy.

 

I figured as much.

Thanks for the helpful advice, I've been doing some thinking about where to locate the filter and it seems the best place would be near the steering column and sub frame. The air box location is at least a two feet from the stock location, I understand how this would cause a lower oil pressure but my new location would only be a few inches from the factory location. Would the oil pressure loss still be significant?


...back to the pissing contest...
I fail to see how this would be a "rice" or "bling" mod. I understand how a narrow view of "performance" could lead to the interpretation that any modification not targeted at peak horsepower is "bling" or "rice"; I suppose the ease of maintenance isn't within the wide spectrum of performance? I do not treat my car as a modern codpiece; so the thought of spending money on an item outside the realm of horsepower makes a lot of sense to me.

I think he is refering to the dealership that sold the kit. Dealership is another word for shop or store, so a store that sells/installs aftermarket parts is also considered a dealership.

Come on silvic, stop playing the fool and let this go. You should spend your time on schoolwork instead; school is cool :goodjob: .

 

I understand what you are talking about with the oil. On the Accord and CRV they have steel pans that we can use a splash sheild on. What we do is just change the oil fliter then clean up the block/boots/rack with brake clean.

 

actually applesauce, I was just being sarcastic, something else silvic apparently doesn't understand. I know that if I were to take my Si down to my local dealer and ask them to supercharge the crap out of it, they'd look at me like I was insane. and Silvic, if you want to, I know you can find a problem with the previous statement, maybe they wouldn't look at me like I was insane, but again, sarcasm.

Silvic says that I/we don't know what we're talking about or doing, and then argues with jerseygirl on the "I cracked my front bumper" thread about whether or not you can see the front end of a new civic. you can see the windshield wipers, and that's IT. Silvic talked about the trouble you would have dealing with a honda dealership over windshield wiper blades. Silvic implied that neither you nor I new how to change our oil, and finally, he implied that relocating the oil filter was a "rice" modification.

The way I see it, putting a loud-as-hell muffler on your 95 EX is way more rice than relocating the oil filter. Sure, it may gain you 3 hp Silvic, making your busted D16 just a tiny more powerful and therefore fitting in with your "performance oriented mod" view, but it's RICE.

whereas moving the oil filter isn't even going to be visible or audible, and therefore is NOT rice. at all.

Applesauce- as for the actual moving of the filter a couple of inches, I don't know that you would lose any (significant amount) of oil pressure. However, I am NOT an expert on moving oil filters, so I'll ask some people I know. Not that it matters- I'm sure you'll get an answer from someone.

 

^^^ Actually, Honda will install and warrantee the comptech supercharger (that’s the word over on 8th gen at least), but yeah they generally wont do stuff like that.

Like I said in the other thread, silvic is a post whore from the basement. Though it’s oh-so-much fun to prove him wrong time and time again!

I’m still looking around for different brands, I assume because all the oil filters are the same (for the most part) I could just get fittings for any Honda/Acura with a similar oil filter or does it HAVE to be for a ’06 si?

 

Yeah the comptech is the only supercharge that is backed by the honda warrenty. My freind at my shop put one on a S2k.
