Oil filter relocation with oil cooler
Any of you boosted guys running both and how is it ran? I have an oil cooler now but I plan to move my filter but started wondering if the added hoses, thermostat and cooler would cause oil pressure issues.

I am running this type of set up and have not noticed any oil pressure drop. I believe im usually in the 75-90 psi range while in the throttle from what i can tell on the gauge. After 5k miles i have started to notice my braided lines rubbing in areas. This has caused wear on the line its self. Will need to address with some fasteners to hold the lines more stationary and off of obstructions.

i have a drysump system on my ap2 and will be adding a custom oil cooler shortly.
my only recommendation is to ensure you have sufficient oil flow through the adapter fitting you choose- and the lines. the ap1/2 engine requires a tremendous amount of oil when vtec is engaged. i would not go with anything smaller than a -12an line to prevent any oil starvation issues.

I have been running a relocation, thermostat, and cooler for over 3 years with zero issues with oil pressure. As long as you run the lines correctly, there shouldn't be any pressure problems.
