cool detailed video , i have installed them on my 2020 CTR with an aftermarket radiator (koyorad) but now the 2 pipes is always touching each other is that ok ?
Minor contact shouldn't be a problem, but you may be able to resolve it easily by loosening the clamp on one end of each of the hoses slightly and twisting them. When installed, normally they should have a very slight gap between them in areas where they cross, but that is with all OEM intake components and radiator, so it's possible some aftermarket parts may cause them to be routed very slightly differently. Nonetheless, minor contact shouldn't cause you long-term issues.
No you do not👍. The second method follows steps stimilar to Honda's recommended coolant fill procedures, where the entire air conditioning system remains off while the engine is running to purge air bubbles into the expansion tank.
OE Honda Coolant is always a safe bet, but generally you just need to make sure you get something that's compatible with an aluminum block (normally these variants are marketed as being for Asian vehicles when sold as generics at most chain auto stores).
As luck would have it, we actually have a whole video explaining this in great detail. Check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JrXN-F6dhNI.html
It's the same effort as installing another set of OEM hoses. So the fee to install these or another set of OEM hoses would be the same. We don't perform installs though, so unfortunately we cannot provide an estimate.
@@benrusle Incorrect. These hoses are compatible with aftermarket radiators designed for the FK8. Aftermarket intercoolers do not change the radiator position, so that is not a problem either.
FC1s use a horizontal-flow rad that is thermally aligned with the intercooler better. There would be no net gain from reversing radiator flow on an FC1.
