Crank Scraper.
Has anyone heard of these before?
This is an ISHIHARA-JOHNSON oil- or crank-scraper for the Honda D16 1590cc 90mm stroke (1.6L) engine (such as the D16A6, D16Z6, D16Y7, D16Y8, etc. do not confuse this engine with the B16 1.6L which has 1595cc and a 77.4mm stroke). As the engine rotates, engine oil is not thrown off but instead sucked into a tornadic windage cloud around the crank and rods: the horsepower that is required to move and move through that oil is significant. The scraper strips away that cloud by coming close to but not touching the spinning crank and connecting rods and this frees up that internally consumed horsepower. Remember that as you accelerate, brake, go up and down hills, and turn your vehicle even more oil is whipped up and power lost; stock engine output is determined from a static test so the scraper will help restore that lost power ASAP! In highly tuned engines, too much oil splashed on the cylinder walls can overwhelm the piston rings and thereby be introduced to the air/fuel charge. This contamination will lower the effective octane rating of the fuel and can lead to detonation. Lastly, a crank scraper can improve your fuel efficiency. (If you can resist the urge to put the pedal to the metal!) This is well-proven technology that has been used with great success in small and large displacement high-performance street and racing engines for decades. The windage tray incorporated in the stock Honda oil pan should not be confused with a crank scraper. Installation instructions are included. The scraper simply bolts in place in between the block and oil pan. The next time you change your oil, simply drop the pan and install the scraper. You need to buy one pan gasket and a tube of good quality RTV silicone gasket maker to apply to the scraper. The scraper is constructed from 12 gauge mild steel (approximately .10). Some minor clearancing might be required which can be accomplished with a simple hand tool like a good metal file (the mild steel is easy to work with).

Well, I have never heard of them. But I really dont want to run out and buy something that "sounds awsome". But any little bit can help. I was just curious to know if they work, and are effective. We all know the tornado sounds like it produces 100hp +

I wish I was still in high school when I was taken metal & machine shop... I could make that stuff for next to nothing & test all kinds of stuff without spending all the dough.

Talked to one of the guys at work that races alot, it couldnt hurt to use it...but your not gonna see a noticable difference in our cars. So unless your building a race only car, like looking for 150,180,etc...mile per hour speeds you wont see much gains from it....... hope this helps everyone.......

Yeah - heard of them being used on big block street motors and the like, but not on race cars. I seriously doubt you would see ANY difference in power output etc though in a stock or mildly modded Honda engine - trust the engineers, they know what they were doing when they designed the engines
 Easier to spend the money on some VTEC stickers, that way everyone will KNOW it goes fast
