CSF 8343 High-Performance Oil Cooler Kit for HONDA Civic Type-R (FL5)

Description CSF 8343 High-Performance Oil Cooler Kit for HONDA Civic Type-R (FL5)

The 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.

The 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.

Lines, Fittings, and Thermostat

The DYME PSI fittings are hydraulically crimped to their motorsport quality Superstrasse CPE lined 304 stainless steel braided lines. DYME PSI manufactures these lines and fittings in house to CSF exact specifications with the highest level of quality and precision. These lines offer the best flexibility, flow, and chemical resistance possible.

Oil flow is managed by a Billet Aluminum thermostatic sandwich plate. This plate bolts in the factory oil filter location with a M20x1.5 adapter. The sandwich plate was designed to reuse the OE oil filter but can be fitted with a larger filter up to 70mm in diameter with a M20x1.5 thread (check height clearance when looking at filter options).

The thermostat is designed to start opening at 175°F (80°C) and be fully open at 195°F (90°C), great for motorsports and high-performance street applications. The sandwich plate also includes a pre-plugged 1/8 NPT port for aftermarket oil temperature sensors. This is a great addition for drivers looking for more accurate data/metrics.

Ducting & Vents

CSF designed and modeled vents for the bumper to provide the two oil coolers with ample airflow to keep engine oil temperatures in check. These vents were carefully designed with CFD software for airflow and aero dynamics. Made from pre-preg carbon fiber, these vents match the lines and style of the FL5 and give a very OEM+ look to the front bumper. To further improve airflow and cooling, the kit also includes louvered vents that allow airflow out of the bumper area and into the fender wells.

OE Fit and Finish

CSF leveraged many industry connections to find the best possible source for motorsport grade carbon fiber. The quality, fit, and finish of these parts are of the highest caliber and have been extensively track tested. Each vent bolts on without the use of double sided tape so they are very secure. Cut out templates are included with the kit instructions to allow for easy installation and ensure proper alignment. CSF also designed templates for the international market with FL5s that come equipped with PDC sensors. The factory PDC sensors will still function perfectly and retain the OE look and feel.
