Rare JDM goodie found on my new LongBlock???

[driftin8ez]

I went to remove the oil filter from my new long block today and I was kind of confused with what i found.

This is what i would have expected to see:

But this is what i found:





Those lines running out of the top look like coolant lines? Is it some type of mini oil cooler or coolant warmer? LOL

Oil cooler I believe. Got one on my Silvia. Dunno how rare they are though.

hate to burst your bubble but thats a OEM oil cooler and unfortunatly its not Rare, their was a thread supposedly they only came on auto's and Euro CA's I believe either way its not rare.

It's a sign this is the later model intercooled S13 engine.Most jap-import engines to Australia are that variety.

They are water lines, and it is an oil cooler.

Well that went south real fast. LOL I dug up a couple old threads and found out some more info about them. Not really anything special basically. Also one dude claimed his was leaking coolant into his oil because of an internal leak. A) is the even possible? I would think that nissan would have designed it so that the coolant and oil had totally separately cast passage ways. & B) Is it a very common problem? Should i switch back to the none oil cooled filter mount?

So what your saying is that this doesn't compare to the "JDM Goodie" i found on the 13BT I had imported?

i just blew my load looking at that clutch...nice find man...was the 13bt cheap? I used to get my engines for my tII for about 1100$ canadian with transmission.

Ya that's a oil cooler. I've got one on my motor.

That was about a year or so ago. I got it for $900 locally. No transmission or anything.

damn lucky....me and a friend are installing a brideported 13b into his 2nd gen.....that would have been sweet to have......but yup i got an oil cooler on my ca too.....sorry.....

yeah i had one on my engine but i got rid of it, well bypassed the lines, that lil hose is terrible to hook back once you have the engine in, replace those b4 you put it back in. :-)
