Lol stock radiator is sufficient? Yea okay.People need to stop thinking the radiator is the problem. It's not. The factory one is more than capable of doing the job.
The problem is there is zero air flow going to the radiator in the first place. A radiator entirely works on air movement. Putting a bigger radiator into a spot that does not flow will only make your wallet lighter and little more.
People need to also critically analyse what they buy. Just because a company makes it, does not mean it's going to work.
The problem with the oil cooler is that it is also drastically undersized. I came from the 370z world where overheating was a track day issue also. An oil cooler the size they sell for the civic does literally nothing on the 370. Granted, the 370 has two extra cylinders, but it does not have a turbo that hit's 1000F. But for an oil cooler to work on the 370, it was drastically bigger than the shitty little HKS unit. Anything the size of the HKS unit did nothing on that car and it had better front airflow than the CTR.
The issue is the front bumper is shit. Putting an oil cooler behind the fake side vents is not sufficient.
