You will need the correct water pipe so you can plumb the lines (unless you can find some way to tap into the water and have it circulate). I have the cooler just chillin in my garage if anyone is interested since I bought it and decided against using it. All you would need is the O-ring that goes on the back, some coolant hose, and the water pipe.

I don't think it would help on a stock motor, though, since the oil doesn't really get much hotter than the coolant temperature. And if you are running synthetic, the oil filter will need to be replaced way before the oil anyway.

 

i take a trip up to school holding the tach at 4k+ RPMS for 50 minutes straight. i figure it couldnt hurt my engine life...

 

If you are that worried about it, install an oil temp gauge first and see if you really need it. Chances are you don't because that is normal cruising RPMs and Honda built that motor with that in mind.

 

ah ok so thats the PS cooling pump. nice
with me going turbo and all should i use synthetic oil now? its been a half blend for the past 3yrs. is it bad if you go to synthetic from non-synthetic/half blend?
