AIRTEC Motorsport Oil Cooler for Honda Civic FL5 Type R

Technical Data

As part of our expanding Honda platform product range, AIRTEC Motorsport is proud to launch our external oil cooler kit for the FL5 Civic Type R, suitable for track or fast road use.

With huge experience in developing external oil cooler packages for a variety of modified track and road cars, and aware of the FL5 Type R’s oil cooling issues during track use, the challenge with this kit was to neatly integrate a large capacity, external oil cooler where it could still benefit from direct air flow, whilst integrating seamlessly with the car’s existing fixtures and fittings with no drilling or cutting required.

Unlike previous Type R models, mounting the oil cooler in the lower bumper wasn’t possible, so we chose to utilise the upper grille area and opted to design a unique oil cooler in order to make the very most of the limited space available, rather than use a generic off-the-shelf item. 

As a result, in comparison to a universal 13-row oil cooler, our bespoke oil cooler has 45% more capacity and is 100%/twice as much frontal area, which means there is more air flow passing through the core to help cool it. We also purposely spaced the oil cooler away from the radiator to avoid any potential heat soak issues, creating a package that is unrivalled in the market.

The comprehensive package includes bespoke laser-cut and powder-coated mounting brackets, high-quality braided hose lines with Aerotec fittings, and all fixtures, including instructions, for a simple bolt-on installation.

Its increased cooling efficiency and easy fitment makes it an essential modification for all modified FL5 Type R models.
