Is that the oil cooler on the bottom left of the picture? Wish I could get the Z to run that cool. I have one of those just for my power steering!

Great build, looking really nice.

Yea, it's the oil cooler.

These engines don't really have a hard time cooling the oil anyway, the normal factory setups do a pretty good job. Since this is a block from a Honda CRV, it doesn't have the drilled and tapped ports for the factory setup, so I added an external on. The car will be raced where it's generally cool, so I didn't think I could justify a huge one.

Thanks!

Thought I'd share some progress pics of the Civic...

It ain't a GTR, Lambo or Porsche...lol

That's all for now! More coming soon, the car is almost finished!

It's looking good! When are you planning the first track test?

TypeOne · 05-09-2011, 11:04 AM

Well the car still needs stuff to make it run... should be putting it on the dyno this weekend. Before that though, every nut and bolt is going to have a once over and torque painted. I don't want anything falling off on the first drive. :-)

Thanks guys! Rep me if you like it! :-P (this thing has almost 2 years of my life in it! Almost done!)
