In this tech video, Russ talks about the design features of the new 1936 ACUiTY Radiator Hoses for the FK8 Honda Civic Type R and how they are essential for any FK8 owner that is looking to upgrade the cooling system of their car. He discusses the shortcomings of the configuration for the OEM heat exchangers in the FK8 CTR under aggresive driving conditions and/or hot environments and explains how the ACUiTY radiator hoses are the best solution to make these cars run cooler (more so with other cooling upgrades as well like an upgraded radiator, high-flow grille, vented hoods, etc). With the help of Honda Performance Development engineers/race teams, these hoses have been proven to maximize the cooling efficiency of stock and aftermarket radiators, reducing average coolant temperatures in the hottest of track environments.
