Oil cooled turbo setup (b16a) ?

hi,
(b16a)
is it ok to run a sandwich plate feed to the turbo oil in, and return (from turbo) drain to the sump and use the small bolt by the vtec solenoid as a feed point to a oil cooler and return the oil cooler to the return point on the sandwich plate!

hope that made sense !
any help would be much appreciated

oil lubed, not cooled. Use a "T" join where your oil pressure sensor is and run that to your turbo oil feed, drain to sump.

I'd say the oil exiting the turbo is a higher temperature than the oil entering.

I was meaning having a oil cooler aswell

and ive heard the oil pressure sensor point has to much fluctuation for a turbo oil feed thats why im using the sandwich plate as a feed

Doesn't matter.

Workmates car (dc2 Integra, with 675hp at front wheels) he just said he takes the oil feed off the main gallery, and tees into the oil pressure switch.
