The radiator in this car is made only for the Type R TC and isn't sold otherwise. The oil cooler is CSF #8119.

I would be more interested in how and where they connect the oil cooler?
Or is this a replacement for the OEM oil cooler/heat exchanger?

Based off the photos I saw on IG from JAS, where the cars are built, they're running a V mount set up for optimal air flow. (See 4th picture)

I think that's the TCR, no?

I think on the TC the oil cooler is to the left or right of the radiator, likely with ducting.

HPD TC fk8 is not same as JAS TCR. TC has side mount oil coolers on each side, that is all i can share
According to CSF the oil cooler is mounted below the passenger side headlight.They Didn't mentioned anything about 2 oil coolers?
How and where is the oil cooler connected to the engine? Do they use a oil sandwich adaptor ?

Thanks for the info. I suspected they were on both sides, but someone told me that there was only one per car.

It's too bad any of this info is hush hush. The street car was sold as a track day car (nurburgring times, setting fastest FWD laps on European tracks), but if it can't do a 20 minute session driven by an experienced pilot in summer, it's no good. I'd be happy if Honda just sold a cooling kit. $2k would be fine if it was guaranteed to work in 105 F driven flat out by a pro.
