Took it off

I tend to talk a lot. Watch at 1.5 or 2.0x speed

RE71RS 275/30/18 squared

Engine was never rebuilt if that’s what you meant. Still all stock. It was only pulled to install an oil pump. 470whp

I have one on mine but difficult to fit it off you have a flex fuel kit installed. I mounted mine to the strut bar. Radium engineering

Anything that uses the oem valve yes

First couple times I did corkscrew years ago it was very scary. A lot of trust in your brakes and just using trees as a guide for the line

19s are the way to go! Especially on a daily!

Just the intake bro. It’s so good

Yup definitely noticed that. Reverse can be a pain lol

It will help for sure

@GridZilla thank you bud

Nope. I just recalibrated 3 times to clear the TPMS warning

Price point wise yeah it’s hard to argue.

They have dual oil coolers too but all those race also delete their AC condenser which is not an option for me on a street car.

I agree that the transcooler is overkill for cooling the transmission but that’s not the main purpose in this application. It’s mainly to divorce the oil and water from cooling the transmission and the parasitic heat that drives into the water and oil exasperating the overheating issue in these cars

Interestingly, this is done on the European fk2 type r where the coolant does not cool the trans, as it has a separate oil cooler from factory.

@@GridZilla interesting

Yeah that’s what bugs me the most about the hood. The fitment

Water has a lower boiling point but it sheds heat quicker than coolant and a lot of race clubs will require you to run water instead of coolant because of spillage on track. Coolant is slick and can be quite dangerous driving over into a corner. Water much less of a risk and nothing to clean up.

@@GridZilla if your temps is below boiling point ok but in fl5 fk8 easly going 100+ ;)

@ it’s a pressurized system and there’s water wetter. People have been using straight water for decades.

Thank you!

All I want for Christmas is your EF 😜😁

@@GridZilla my 4 year old says nope. 🤶

@ I don’t blame him

@@GridZilla when I sold the last red crx he cried when the shipping truck was as loading it. Never again! 😢

@ I feel that bro.

Yeah saw that oil cooler kit but still not clear on whether it deletes the oem trans cooler or not. That’s an important distinction because not deleting the oem cooler would imply surface cooling and not actual transmission liquid cooling

I feel you bro 😭

It can keep 470 whp cool. It’s definitely the way to go!

😂 for what it’s worth most people won’t need to go the full transmission cooler route. The dual oil coolers with a good radiator and vented hood will work for most but for those that push a lot of HP and track in warm weather the trans cooler with the oils coolers is the way to go.

@ Im stoked about this either way. Most exciting mod, and for me most looking forward to hearing about.

PWR doesn’t have an oil cooler kit for the FL5 Type R and I helped develop this kit with CSF. I speak from experience and I’ll be the first to tell you that there isn’t a better cooling system on the market for the FL5.

Never a bad choice just a bit quiet for my tastes

Busiest time of the year for me at work. Have a couple of videos working but waiting for parts to arrive

He does have a lot of cars. Living the dream!

Hopefully not but yeah who knows

@@GridZilla Honda says it is. Get ready for hybrid crap and a silly automatic gearbox :)......Same happening to Golf R. I was torn between the 2.....I got a Type R without much thinking

@ Honda has been talking about a hybrid for years

@@GridZilla....and the time has come?

@ I don’t thing so yet personally but we’ll see

We all lied bro. We all lied 🤣

Serramonte Honda talk to Drew Eng Or Burlingame Elite motorsports Or Vallejo Hybridworks

@ okay thank you

@@GridZilla Thanks man. I called them earlier today and decided to go with Burlingame Elite Motorsports. Do you think an 18x9 +35, 255 or 265 / 35 will rub on lowering springs?

@ good chance both will rub with a +35. Min for the FK8 I’d say it’s +38 and when the you’ll have to cut one tab in the rear to prevent rubbing

Not needed for balance per se. Just great reliable brakes that with the right pads and fluids will never fade and brake super hard

Think they already had it back in September iirc

I think the stock exhaust sounds fine but there are some amazing aftermarket options out there if you know what to look for.

@GridZilla Got a 25 fl5, I'll leave it on the oem sound wave. Love it the way it is...

@ oh yeah If you like sound wave then you’re already good to go

That would be a question for Milltek but my initial instincts say no

Contact Milltek. Mine did the same but the new one is 👌🏽

@GridZilla thanks I'll try going through two-step where I ordered it and see if I can get a new one

Thanks! Appreciate the support. 🫡

I have zero regrets. What about the change are you unhappy about?

Double check the spring at the bottom of the valve. If it’s installed wrong or not seated correctly it’ll actuate once and then it’ll get stuck

@ Found the issue, the heat shield had cut and sliced the word and shorted the fuse😂 Garage who fitted it have rectified it so all good Thanks for the quick response, went for non res to start and am happy I bought the controller, might look into part-res like you have in future. Does it still crackle with the res?

@ with the right tune for sure!

@ Just meant on gear change? Every time you shift in the non-res it burbles and crackles 😂

@ I don’t get tunes for burbles

I now have custom vents for a dual oil cooler set up.

Not sure but my day job is busy this time of year so most likely not till next year.

For sure, and it makes you appreciate the wins even more

You aren’t wrong. I had 0W20 in there and at this power level I likely need a thicker oil so will probably bump up to 10w30. Oil pressure will drop a little bit also because of the extra lines and now 2 oil coolers it has to pump through

Normal for a tracked Civic Type R? Absolutely. After the first session the temps got much better because we found an air bubble in the coolant and I accidentally had the AC on full blast the first session. So all things considered those are better than they would’ve been

Oem bypass

468whp

In the first session yeah. My AC was on full blast (by accident) and I had a bubble in my Coolant.

Thank you! I’ll be using Amsoil Dominator 5w20 And for my built transmission I’ll be using Motul 75w140

I agree but things to note. First session I had the AC on full blast (by mistake) and there was a bubble in the coolant. Once we resolved those two things the temps were in control

It’s a bit of a moot point since Rich is probably winding down operations but having said that, unless you’ve seen things first hand I’d make sure you have all the facts before commenting.
