MAPerformance Oil Cooler Kit | 17-21 Civic Type R FK8

Not many things can kill a motor as fast as overly high oil temps, and we are not alone in finding that the stock Civic Type R system is not up to the task. From lapping days to daily driving, and everything in between our MAPerformance Civic Type R Oil cooler kit will do everything you need and more!

When it came time to design the MAPerformance Civic Type R Oil Cooler kit we started with our direct fit thermostatic oil filter adapter plate, with a focus on ground clearance this allows the filter to sit up and out of the way. Due to the lack of factory oil pressure monitoring, we felt it was very important to add the 1/8" NPT ports to the side of the housing, as to provide the key information of oil temperature, pressure, or both depending on the sensor utilized, there are two ports available for use on the housing using the supplied -8AN to 1/8" NPT adapter fittings.

To mount the cooler, we designed our MAPerformance 304 Stainless bracket produced right here at our USA facility. This bracket not only looks stylish for many years but is also a 100% bolt-on solution meaning no cutting or trimming is required to any part of your car(You do remove a few small pieces of plastic) keeping the installation as easy as can be!

For the cooler, we selected one of the largest SETRAB cores that we could fit, and keep in a reasonable budget. SETRAB has been an industry leader in the cooling industry for generations, and there is no better fit! There were multiple reasons for this decision, the obvious being that it would pull as much heat out of the system as possible and cool the oil to reasonable temperatures. The secondary reasoning is that the K20C1 has a very small oil capacity and being able to add nearly a full quart to the system will help in both temperature and also helping keep the oil pressure stable at all times!
