there are more affordable options like this that work just fine. I have it on my car, and it holds up well on the track. https://www.twostepperformance.com/products/mishimoto-2017-honda-civic-type-r-aluminum-expansion-tank-red

Finally, Tuned My FL5 , E40 Setup at JSR Engines (Track-Safe Conservative Build) Just wanted to share my tuning experience for the FL5. I brought the car to JSR Engines and dropped it off at 11 a.m. for a full day of install and tuning. I asked for multiple maps: 1. Daily driving map 2. Track...

Finally got time to install this. Still waiting for my Hondata injectors, back order end of May.

I’ve got it mounted in my gauge with some double-sided tape. Just too lazy to snap a pic right now.

Manufacturers generally recommend not pushing beyond 240–250°F for extended periods. The FL5 doesn't come equipped with a true oil temperature sensor the LogR app provides estimated values, but it's not a direct reading from the engine oil. I've installed a proper engine oil temperature sensor...

was this in comfort mode or R mode?

Correct. Specifically referencing Big Willow and Streets of Willow. That said, his driving style differs significantly from mine. When I refer to overheating, I mean engine oil temperatures exceeding 250°F as recorded by Honda LogR. While the ECU doesn’t initiate limp mode at these levels, both...

Not anymore, but I used to take the car to the track even when it was completely stock. Got some pics in my signature: https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/buntatyper-boost-blue-build.54569/ I bought this car to be driven hard. Rsx-s is my most reliable honda. It hit 160k miles revving 8.9k...

I own an S2000, Subaru STI, and a Model 3 Performance. I can only speak from my own experience. The main issue with the Type R is cooling. On track days, if the ambient temperature is over 75°F, the car tends to overheat after about three laps, depending on how aggressively you're driving. A pro...

More goods arrived More to come.

ill be interested in this - divorcing the two systems,

The logged temperature shown on the Type R’s screen appears to be inaccurate. I’m running a dedicated engine oil temperature gauge, and I consistently see a 40–80°F delta depending on airflow through the dual oil coolers. It seems the value on the log screen is an ECU-calculated estimate rather...

I went to the SoCal Drivers Club event at Buttonwillow—open sessions all day with a 40-car cap. Highly recommend it! Here are some pictures.

Regarding your 'spirited drives' in the FL5, can you quantify the duration. are we talking about 10–20 minute stints? And are you frequently sustaining high RPMs near redline. I never experienced any issues with my FL5 in stock form, but I also didn’t push it nearly as hard in the canyons or...

Took the car to Chewerks and had a pro handle the install. I’ve installed coilovers before, but the JRZs require nitrogen charging, so I left it to Rob. I didn’t ask about the details of the setup since I plan to go back to him when it's time for a rebuild. I’ll also be returning for proper...

are you talking about the JRZ?

High-grip 200TW tires like the Yokohama A052 can significantly accelerate performance progression by offering superior traction and steering response. On an FL5 Civic Type R at Buttonwillow, the A052 typically lasts around 2–3 track days, while the RE-71RS offers slightly better longevity at...

It's great to see that Jester Tune is very close in performance and even has higher torque. I don’t have a direct reference, but Jester is active on forums and always willing to help. I’ve been running the Phearable tune and have never experienced any knock, even with poor-quality 91 octane...

A put option would be ideal right now, but I've taken some heavy losses on those trades before. Unfortunately, I can't predict stock futures like Pelosi. I'm fine with dollar cost averaging (DCA). I do have Bitcoins and Ethereums in a Roth IRA, along with stocks in a Roth IRA and a 401(k). I'll...
