This is a common technique used in rotary engines. You could call it a 'band-aid' or you could call it a 'mod'. I have not done it on a SR20. The spring in the relief valve could be weak or faulty or this could be another issue all together. Seems like it's only sold as part of the front cover oil pump assembly. Just a suggestion. An oil cooler is always a good idea for track and drifting. Good luck.

You can search, oil pump shim, or oil regulator shim or oil relief valve shim for more info.
