thanks guys.
I don’t see anyway I can get the fans to click on beforehand, that’s controlled by the car’s computer.

More people leasing cars, bringing them to the Stealership to service, after 4 years they give them up and the process begins all over again. (Stealerships making all the money)
Why would I bring my car to a “chain” to save $20/hr? Stealership’s have whatever parts I need even if I have to pay abit more.
By the way, I don’t/never bring my car to a Stealership, I can’t justify paying $90-120/hr.
I don’t buy my parts locally, everything comes from Honda in the States, some prices are 50% higher here in Toronto.
You guys who live in the States are very lucky.

[quote=”rmiller” post=73203]Hey Eric, I do a lot of Honda/Acura tranny’s and belong to the TRNW group (buncha pro tranny shops guys). The inline filter is a good idea, but many of the pro’s suggest either replacing the radiator or putting in an external cooler.
the idea being that they have cut a number of the back flushed coolers apart to realize that the particulate material you alluded to, won’t come out at all and really plugs the veins in the cooler itself – especially true on the Acura’s with the external on the top the tranny.
Who cares if the veins are plugged you ask? Well the thing that eats up these tranny’s is heat. So with a plugged cooler, you get limited flow (GPM), and thus poor cooling, and tranny burns up.
I usually do the external cooler and many pros insist on a new radiator – period. They are offering 50K+ warranties (one guy offers 100K/10yr) so they NEVER want to see these units again.
just thought i’d mention it.[/quote]
If installing an external cooler why not just bypass the rad cooler, no need to change the rad. Inline filter is a must.

[quote=”jjager85″ post=74025]Eric,
I have a 2001 Honda CR-V and i am considering puttting on a in-line filter like in your video.
The question i have for you is, what brand of Filter did you use?
Is there “The best kind of in-line Filter” or does it even matter?
Also i was considering adding a external cooler cause i haul 600-800 lbs of mail with it, would you say i would need one?thanks[/quote]
I’ve got a 2000 Prelude Auto and installed a Magnefine filter, as for a cooler, B&M Racing make a few. If your thinking about installing a Magnefine make sure to get an authentic one from BOSS Products.
