sorry haven't seen any. why do u need one ? the cooling system should take care of it. if not something is wrong with your cooling system.

DUDE WHAT?

I'm planning on running a turbo, so that's why I want to get one. Beyond that, i want to add a single large oil filter or two smaller ones. I was reading that the honda's have a bypass valve were that at certain points the car will bypass the oil filter because of the flow rate.

I'm pretty sure all oil filters have a bypass, I'd rather have dirty oil in my engine than no oil.

Just do a search on google for the oil cooler stuff, i've seen a bunch of write ups on the internet about them.

An oil cooler is not needed.. these are generally for race only cars.. I don't have one.. don't need one..
