as for parts if they have no stamp or markings your going to have to pop piccys up.
as for if your wanting to fit cams. youll probs need a remap. so it will have to go on a rr as you may find it a bit lumpy. you will be able to drive it without but to get the best out of them!
and as for the oil cooler ive seen them be fitted for 2 reasons. the person has one so they have fitted it or they are wanting to push the car hard so are taking pre cation .

Depends what cam you want to fit and what base engine you are starting from. Personally for me with an 8v, anything other than a blacktop/xsi/rallye head is a bad place to start from unless you are going for forced induction.
standard VTR peak power is around 5500 rpm, J cammed rallye engine is 6200 as they got a different management system. With that in mind a remap and possibly a vernier pulley would be of benefit, before things start getting too extreme and pricey
