ACUITY Super-Cooler Reverse-Flow Radiator Hoses - Honda Civic Type R (FL5)

The ACUITY Super-Cooler Radiator Hoses reverse the coolant flow through the FL5 Civic Type R's radiator. In the factory layout, the coolest part of the radiator sits behind the intercooler, where the incoming air is already hot. Reversing the flow puts the hottest coolant where the air is hottest and the coolest coolant where fresh air from the upper grille arrives, so the radiator sheds heat more effectively.

Fitting the 1986 Super-Cooler radiator hoses to an FL5 Civic Type R

ACUITY measured up to 2.5°C lower water temperatures on hot days in cars that already had a vented bonnet, upgraded radiator and free-flowing grille, and around 0.6°C on otherwise stock cars. The hoses are polyester-reinforced silicone that handles much higher underbonnet temperatures than the factory rubber hoses, and they were raced on Honda's FL5 endurance cars.

Note: Suits the FL5 Civic Type R. The kit includes a sensor port fitting and plug to relocate the ECT2 coolant temperature sensor for a more accurate reading. Installation by a professional is recommended.

Features

  • Reverse-flow layout better matches the radiator to the airflow through it
  • Up to 2.5°C lower water temperatures in hot conditions (ACUITY testing)
  • Polyester-reinforced silicone construction
  • Handles higher underbonnet temperatures than the factory rubber hoses
  • Includes hardware to relocate the ECT2 sensor
  • German-style clamps with rolled edges protect the silicone
