The car comes from the factory tuned for incredible handling and ample power to keep up with plenty of production sports cars. However, there is one area the Honda engineering team came up short, and that was the oil cooling system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrivers regularly see high oil temperatures completely stock and even higher on modified examples. In testing, CSF observed temperatures over 275°F (135°C) on the track, and it was clear the FL5 needed a solution. The engineering team set out to develop CSF’s first ever complete engine oil cooler kit, and the results speak for themselves. CSF’s new engine oil cooler kit is the “Real Deal” with stunning performance and an aggressive look to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Engineering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe initial challenge when designing this engine oil cooler kit was two fold. Firstly, the K20C1 did not come with any type of external engine oil cooler provision. The second challenge was space in which to mount an external engine oil cooler(s). The front bumper opening already has the Intercooler, A\/C Condenser, and Radiator stacked there and using most of the available air.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile mounting an additional cooler behind the grill is the simple option, that just adds more heat to the full system and takes away from the cooling capacity of the radiator. On top of that, most owners who track their cars will have an upgraded\/larger intercooler which further compounds the issue. That means the sides of the bumper are the obvious and optimal placement. However, the FL5 does not have great airflow in that area. To improve airflow, CSF needed to design a ducting\/inlet system that would allow proper airflow for optimal performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith proper airflow handled, CSF built the kit around our compact universal oil coolers (CSF #8119), using two of them to offer the greatest cooling capacity possible. Paired with Superstrasse CPE lined stainless steel braided lines and DYME Pro\/Spec Quick Release Fittings, this kit is the most serviceable kit on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOil Coolers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CSF kit is built around two 13” x 4.5” (33cm x 11.5cm) Dual-Pass Oil Coolers (CSF #8119) run in series. These High-Performance Coolers offer maximum heat dissipation with uncompromising durability. The Bar\/Plate cores feature CSF’s “Aero-Flow” Bar Design which reduces weight while offering impressive strength and flow. The rugged design of these cores means you won’t need to worry about debris from the track puncturing the coolers like with tube and fin cores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100% TIG welded construction with cast end tanks further increases the overall strength of the coolers. Every cooler is pressure tested to 120 PSI before leaving the factory so you can be confident you will never have one burst on you like some weaker designs used in other kits. The end tanks also feature specially designed 40-degree angle feed\/return fittings for optimal flow and lower pressure drop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"h-oil-cooler-key-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOil Cooler Key Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBar\/Plate Core offers strength and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% TIG Welded Construction tested to 120 PSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth 40-degree feed\/return fitting design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual Pass flow for additional cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil Capacity increased by over 2 Quarts (2 Liters)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe are the same coolers Honda Racing Corporation (HRC formerly HPD) uses on\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHonda’s factory FK8 TCR Touring Car.

While not a concern for casual driving, it was enough of an issue to address for those tracking their FL5s. To resolve this issue, CSF and test vehicles switched to a higher weight oil (from OE Spec 0W-20 to 0\/5W-30) and this relieved the potential pressure issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"235\" style=\"width: 102.5%;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 24.3433%;\"\u003eMetric\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 25.0438%; text-align: center;\"\u003eStock with 0W-20 Oil\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 24.6935%; text-align: center;\"\u003eCSF with 0W-20 Oil\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 24.6935%; text-align: center;\"\u003eCSF with 0\/5W-30\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.3433%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eIdle Operating Temp\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25.0438%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20 PSI (1.4 Bar)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.6935%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e15-17 PSI (1.0-1.2 Bar)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.6935%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20 PSI (1.4 Bar)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.3433%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn Track – Straight\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25.0438%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70 PSI (4.8 Bar)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.6935%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e50 PSI (3.4 Bar)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.6935%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e67-69 PSI (4.6-4.8 Bar)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.3433%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn Track – Corners\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25.0438%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e59 PSI (4.1 Bar)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.6935%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e47 PSI (3.2 Bar)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.6935%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e56 PSI (3.9 Bar)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.3433%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eHighway Cruising\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25.0438%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e75 PSI (5.2 Bar)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.6935%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e55 PSI (3.8 Bar)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.6935%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70 PSI (4.8 Bar)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLines, Fittings, And Thermostat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCSF partnered with DYME PSI again for their exceptional quality and innovative quick-release hose and fitting solutions.

While mounting an additional cooler behind the grill would be the easy choice, that just adds more heat to the rest of the cooling system. The optimal placement for the coolers was in the sides of the bumper outside of having no direct airflow. While technically some air does flow to this area as it leaks around the intercooler, it is not enough for significant cooling performance. While utilizing the brake cooling ducts is a potential option, that could negatively impact braking performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCSF designed and modeled vents for the bumper to provide the two oil coolers with ample airflow to keep engine oil temperatures in check.
