SiriMoto Oil Cooler Kit: Be gone high oil temps!

[procivic]

If you go on spirited drives or track your 10th Gen 1.5T Civic, you seriously might want to consider this new product we just got in stock:

SiriMoto Engine Oil Cooler Kit: https://www.procivic.com/…/sirimoto-engine-oil-cooler-kit.h…

It addresses probably the biggest shortcoming of the 1.5T motor (including the Si), which is that engine oil temps can skyrocket because of the high output of this motor and the fact that the engine oil is circulated through the very hot turbocharger unit. The factory oil system does not have anything in place to keep the engine oil cool.

This applies even more if you've modified your 10th Gen to produce more power or it is hot outside. The bottom line is the ECU will reduce ignition timing and lower boost levels as needed to save your engine and turbocharger from failing when oil temps get too high. This obviously causes a large drop in power. If you track your Civic or drive it aggressively for awhile, you might have already noticed this occurring. We found this out early on in our track testing of our first 10th Gen EXT Civic and knew there needed to be a solution.

Luckily for us and anyone else who likes to drive their Civic aggressively, there is now a complete solution that will keep your 1.5L turbo engine oil (and engine) from overheating. The great part is that this SiriMoto Oil Cooler Kit is 100% bolt-on, and comes with everything you need for the installation, even hex keys and an aluminum AN wrench! The kit was very carefully designed over the past year to exacting tolerances, and no expense was spared on the quality of the components.

Here are some quick specs on the 10th Gen 1.5T kit, but follow the product link at the top of the post for even more details.

I really need one of these Oil Cooler Kits since I live in the desert, modified for more power, and have a throttle with only 2 positions!

Now that summer time is here and things are heating up, I wanted to let everyone know about a very effective parts combination we use here on our shop cars to keep them cool. It's this SiriMoto Oil Cooler Kit combined with the PRO Design Honeycomb Performance Mesh Grille: https://www.procivic.com/p/m/civic/p...sh-grille.html


The grille significantly increases the airflow to the oil cooler unit and your factory radiator as well. I would especially recommend this combination to anyone who tracks/races their Civics! Forum promotional discounts available on both parts, just PM me for the codes!

So we often get some customers asking how much of a difference this SiriMoto oil cooler actually makes in terms of keeping oil temps down. I'm going to let this graph do most of the talking here:

As you can see, the stock setup just can't handle track (or even aggressive) driving for prolonged periods, especially during hot weather. The SiriMoto oil cooler kit literally saves you engine/turbo in these cases. With the stock setup, the ECU will pull quite a bit of power in an attempt to keep temps down, but it's not enough from our experience. In the graph above, with the factory setup the ECU was already reducing power by lap 2 and the oil temps just kept increasing.

I thought you guys might want to see this: SiriMoto oil cooler install instructions for the FK8 Type R (file attached to this post). If you look through all the steps, you can see the great attention to detail and high quality engineering that was put into each component on this kit. It even comes with a specialized 10AN thread adapter with a unique hex nut on it JUST so you can make sure your oil filter pedestal base is torqued 100% correct (better than the OEM filter which normally is just torqued by hand). It includes a nice black 10AN wrench too!

In my opinion, this is far and away the best oil cooler kit on the market, for the 1.5T or Type R. The oil cooler unit placement is perfect for maximum airflow and no obstructions. No trimming of factory vents either. Simplest design and install possible and relocates your oil filter for easier future oil changes. Plus, all the hardware is high-grade and built to last!

One more interesting thing: here's a spotlight video of one of the main components of the kit, the Oil Filter Take-Off and Pedestal. Has some very innovative design features.
