Several notes (cuz I've done it)... the universal spin on plate for the filter landing doesn't fit. The IM gets in the way. Either find a Honda specific one or a small gasket one (the universals have 2 gasket rings). Rumor has it the greddy one fits, I make no claims either way, I haven't tried it.
The grid that guy used is huge. Mine is 11x5 and its too big (read: oil too cold for normal driving). If you use a grid that big, get a oil T-stat and rig it inline, so that the cooler won't fill until you reach 180, and then the Tstat holds it there. Oil too cold means too thick = less power.
Its also probably not a "nice" add-on, its a must.

the golden eagle plate fits, but it doesnt have an oil return port in it. but if youre boosted you can easily tap your oil drain line. just an idea..
Ye I am in the process of finding out which fits and does not fit. Only thing with me is that I use the greddy block apadator which is where I run my feed line o the turbo and my oil temp.
