Getting mine fitted this Friday, I’m in the UK so does not get that hot here. Glad I ordered it before we hit the states with 37% tariffs :p;)

The install took me awhile to figure out. Also remove all the tape lol top and bottom side 😅

lol yeah prob take longer to remove this tape than to install. I am OCD too so had to remove every bit of the tape.

11th Gen Honda Civic WOT Performance: HPT Cooling Plate FB_IMG_1744309943039


I want to share some pretty exciting news for the Type R track community! I have been working with PWR over the past couple of months and they/we will be releasing 2 versions of a triple pass radiator for the FL5 (and possibly the FK8 depending on demand).

One version will be the PWR version, and the other will be the WOT Performance by PWR version. I'm going to call it WOT spec for short.

In a general sense they will be very similar in design and concept, and both should perform extremely well. The triple pass design forces the coolant to travel along a longer path within the core, allowing it a longer period of time to cool down before traveling back towards the engine.

The WOT spec will have two primary differences:

1) More track oriented custom core spec: higher fin density, and special fin louver angle to further improve heat transfer.

2) Integrated bracket for optional transmission cooler: Built in provision on the back side of the radiator to easily add an optional transmission cooler to further reduce coolant temps by unburdening the coolant system (the OEM design uses the coolant system to cool trans fluid via the heat exchanger on the front of the transmission). The placement on the backside of the radiator is to minimize interference with the radiator and maximize efficiency.

The idea is that the PWR spec will be a massive step forward from the current track spec single pass that's available, and WOT spec will be the ultimate level stock replacement radiator available.

Both the PWR spec and WOT spec should be available in the coming weeks. Official pricing is still yet to be determined but should be in the $1400ish range (plus shipping) for the PWR spec, and $1600ish (plus shipping) for the WOT spec, with the transmission cooler add add on available for around $200.

The core of both specs will be 42mm (same as the current PWR track spec single pass radiator), and the other dimensions will also be similar with some slight changes to accommodate the different end tanks. Both specs will be a direct bolt on and will work with OEM fans and other components.

If you would like to pre-order either spec to be one of the first with this on your ride contact me. I will be the only vendor offering the WOT spec.

The picture in the post is a stock photo of the PWR track spec single pass radiator, currently there are no images yet available, but as soon as there are I will add them.

I recently hired someone to help me finish designing my website and it should be up and running here soon.

The plate also provides a very convenient "non-cooling" benefit. The large front vent allows for much easier dropping to the ground or retrieval of things that happen to fall when working under the hood.

happened multiple times :-(

yet one time the thing ended up in the lower control arm (not sure if that is the correct term) took me forever to find it...
