During sustained hard use, this can become a substantial issue, as coolant temperatures can increase enough to trigger the ECU’s safety features, reducing torque or even putting the car into a limp mode. As a result, we wanted to address the car’s entire cooling system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Solution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped in-house at AIRTEC HQ in the UK we designed a series of new products to address the cooling issues when pushed to the limit. But our kit hasn’t just been designed to help cool the transmission, it also helps remove heat from the engine’s cooling system, which helps reduce crucial operating temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is because from the factory, there is a simple heat exchanger\/oil Modine located by the gearbox that uses the engine’s coolant to help cool the gearbox oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut by adding an external oil cooler into this existing loop, both gearbox and engine running temperature are effectively reduced. The substantial increase in gearbox oil volume thanks to the cooler and lines also help keep temperatures lower for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oil cooler itself mounts neatly to a supplied replacement lower brace bar behind the rad pack that is stronger and more rigid than the original Honda brace it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinished in a high-quality black powder coat, the kit requires no trimming or cutting and can be reverted back to standard. The fitting kit includes oil lines and fittings, as all fixtures required to fit, including a detailed installation guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis can fit in conjunction with our intercooler, oil cooler and turbo cooler combination to create the ultimate cooling package. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique kit designed specifically for the Honda Civic FK8 Type R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces transmission\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAND\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eengine running temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect fit kit that requires no cutting or trimming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished in high-quality black powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes all fittings and fixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures detailed fitting guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AIRTEC Motorsport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58451747897725,"sku":"201634","price":395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/5767\/7352\/files\/ATMSHON22_1.jpg?v=1785336787","url":"https:\/\/www.tegiwa.com\/products\/airtec-motorsport-gearbox-oil-cooler-honda-civic-fk8-type-r","provider":"Tegiwa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
