So glad you managed to connect with Eddy about his FK8. He's really dug into the cooling issues and sorted it to run repeated hot laps

Welcome back to the FK8 club!! For overheating on track, drivers have been able to best mitigate the heat by: - Open grill and vented hood (J’s racing should work perfect) - PWR / C&R track radiator and intercooler - All of the Dream Automotive cooling add - ons ( hard lagged Downpipe / Hard lagged turbo shield / Hard lagged water pipe etc. ) - Oil Cooler with PWR / C&R core ( they should be releasing their own kit soon but for now people have been using the HKS kit and replacing the core ) I’m sure I am missing a few other things but those combinations of cooling mods seem to help the most for FK8 drivers to track with no issues in the middle of summer and I will be following this build path as well when the time comes 👌

Too add, radium coolant tank. Stock ones are prone to cracking over time. Since you plan to track often, i would put it on the to do list with the listed mods above.

FK8s are legit - get the cooling mods done, suspension and a nice tune and you’re kicking a lot of ass on a track

Appreciate you leaving the gauge cluster on the throttle/brake setting it's good info to know as someone who wants to try out a HPDE

I've been WAITING on you to do a drift build!!! I know as soon as you get it going, it's gonna take off just like everything else you do. Keep it up man. Your vids make my day!!👍🏾

To turn off traction control, have it in R+ mode and hold the TC button for longer than usual. There should be a message that says it's fully off. You can do it in sport mode too by putting off the e-brake, pressing the brake pedal in, and pressing TC off and on, then e-brake on, no brake pedal, TC off and on, and then e-brake still on, press the brake pedal, and then TC off and on. You'll know that it's working because the TC light should be flashing. This method doesn't work in R+ mode though.

Would love to see a drift series with a build to see you whippin it on the track keep up the god vids!

Great Vid! I love seeing you track for FK8

Intercooler, Vented Hood, More open front grill and the Acuity Reverse Flow Coolant Hoses. Those few mods will make a huge difference.

The 660’s are happy at 26psi

This is super dope, congrats on the successful runs, Im glad the civic is back. Its funny to hear the car so quiet on track though. Ive always really enjoyed a more tame exhaust rather than straight piping things, but even so its weird not hearing the honda go brrrrrr. Also Ive heard that friends have really good luck with Koyo Rads for track use on their newer civics. Im not sure how that applies to the Type R specifically but might be a good starting point.

Was great to meet you Dustin (I helped put your banner on lol. Had the black EK hatch with yellow headlights)! Awesome video and channel you got here! Hope to see you at another Gridlife event in the future!

Coilovers stock front sway bar adjustable rear to fend off some push or get some lift off rotation. For my fwd track build I don't even run a front sway bar. Cause spring rates make up for it.

Tommy's Evo definitely reminds me of old Jackie Chan racing movies #nostalgia

Hi Dustin. Let’s go man . Keep killing it . Love the Quality of your builds keep up the good work. 🤍🤍🤍🔥🙏

Great video! Love the track content.

Short shift couple hundred rpms instead of redlline will help a bit too. Watch out for those front bleeders, leak abit when they get hot.

Love the time attack content. I hope to get out to a few Gridlife events next year and mix it up in StreetGT.

So stoked on the civic content! I love my honda.

Awesome track vid!! at the end when you were doing the number game I tagged along and said 14 when you did it! I was glad i wasnt actually there😂😂

Keep FK8 content coming Dustin! You’re doing great! Glad you’re back with an FK8.

The type r is so good idk that much about track and what’s good or what’s bad but the fact that it hits 100mph with ease and takes turns in 70-80mph I think it’s impressive

I've dealt with the same issues with the 10th gen si as well. Could only get about 3 laps max on a short course here. We did; open grille, intercooler/chargepipes which helped a lot. Radiator is a huge must too. Also look into running water wetter mixed with distilled water instead of coolant if you don't already!

I have to say that the drifting scene was insane!! SUPER JELLY!! Love the videos! keep it up!!

Love seeing the car community around each other, I watch Gears & Gasoline every saturday!

Dude the music choice for the drift scene 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Killing it man! I also track my fk8. I would love to see you hit all the NorCal tracks.

Those new HKS goodies sound amazing out there.🔥 How awesome to go hang out with the boy and do some racing!

Awesome video and great job in the type r. Can’t wait to see the track mods go on. Ps: if your at the gym doing cardio, this is a great long video for it. Cheers 🍻

Bro I'm loving these new type r videos! I live in Pennsylvania ND have a 21 type r in boost blue only did an exhaust so far bc my work is slow right now so don't got money to get upgrades unfortunately!

There is a pedal dance to turn traction control off. Happy to see the fk8 perform well.

Loving the Type R content! Can't wait to see more!

RS3-R is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 sounds beautiful 💪🏼 Dustin CTR looks sick . Can’t wait until you finished modding.

Solid start to your build. Definitely getting some inspiration on where I want to start on my 21CTR. Keep up the good content.

Your driving skills are elite Dustin! 🤙🏼

Welcome to the white FK8 club. Mine is a 2019 and I am able to change the entertainment screen color in the settings if you don't want the blue. Love the videos makes me want to go to the track.

Good job Dustin! Your driving skills are on point now. Question, do the fake vents on the front fenders open up to aid air flow for cooling?

When I comes to cooling the acuity reverse coolant hoses is a good mod to have

I saw your trip to Japan and there's no word on your nissan Staga 260 with the RB26 what you sold it that's a legend right there

Look forward to buying a legends shirt 🔥 car looking sick Dut 👌🏼

Dude I fucking loved watching this. I honestly got chills when them drift boys made their run. I was curious, did you experience or have to work around any understeer in the Type R with it being front wheel drive? also what music did you use for the intro? can't wait for part 2

Dude the tandem pov was insane so cool to see.

Dustin u just made me figure out some car life goals

For the cooling, just add some thick hood hinge spacers. Ol' skool rice FTW. LOL🤣

Love the content! I want more of this!!!

Yes another drift build would be sick

Loving the type r content 🔥 keep it up dut🤘🏻🦍

Dut can't wait to see this build . New wheels look 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love when grants around in everyone's videos that dudes energy is sick lol

Some nice suspension mods, intercooler, down pipe, bov he should be rocking some nice numbers

Everyone has drifting content I actually really enjoy you doing tune attack builds and vids

God damn the drift scene is the best 🔥

Don't get rid of the turbo and DP heat shields if you can help it. they really do help a lot, you can squeeze the turbo blankets under them. Don't get a big intercooler, it will block air getting through the engine bay and actually make temps worse for tracking it. The HKS one is a good size intercooler still allowing air to pass around it and is rated for up to 600hp if I remember, its plenty for the car unless you plan to make a 1000hp k20, idk at that point. Another big upgrade is a vented hood to help exhaust the engine heat, just be careful with rain and daily driving with a vented hood, water will get though the engine cover and mess with stuff. Grill opens her up and also the blanket for the turbo inlet is ok, but doesn't really help with cooling in terms of releasing the heat from the charge pipe, so your cooldown lap, the temps can drop slower, the gold reflective tape is what seems to have the success, even though I personally don't like it.

Yessss do a drift build, Tommy’s golf is siiiick

Thanks for the quick shoutout!!! Super nice to meet you this weekend and see your success at LRP with a stockish CTR.... I totally forgot to add that my car has an oil cooler and an intercooler as well besides the hood vents radiators and blankets galore.

Yes please build a drift car!! 🤘🏻 and have you been on the Ortega highway yet? It’s not anything crazy like a togue but it’s kinda fun to drive.

Love the gears and gasoline boys. Their road trips to Alaska was awesome.

Change the grille out as well for even more cooling. Maybe even a new front bumper with more airflow. Or modify the stock bumper and cut out the fake vents for real ones. Hood with a lot of front ventilation to let the heat out. Turbo blanket and heat wrap for DP and front pipe.

Get a hood with vents that will help with the overheating problem and add a radiator and oil cooler

You did great POVs. Thx. I’m really enjoy your videos. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

C&R (or PWR, they're the same company) and a vented hood should resolve most of your over heating at stock power. Woot woot!

Drift build for sure. Great video

Always enjoy the videos but please figure out that mic, every time you turn the camera I have to crank the volume lol

The turbo manifold is attached to the head 2 inches from the turbo and then the inlet pipe runs directly on top of the turbo lol great design for no turbo lag but bad for heat soak. I did Prl intercooler and titanium inlet pipe and a turbo blanket and I haven’t had a issue at all and I only beat the shit out of mine when I drive it. I live in East Tennessee so I’ve been on the dragon with it a bunch and never had a issue.

YES! A big fat YES! Build a drift car!

Can you fit a 2020 Grill apparently the larger grill reduces temps by as much as 18degrees? "One change you might notice on the 2020 if you're keen-eyed is a slightly larger front grille opening. This addresses one of the few issues we had with the Type R-on a very hot track day, we found that the car could overheat when driven aggressively. Honda engineers said the reshaped grille reduced coolant temperatures by 18 degrees on average in "high-demand" conditions."

What really helps is an aftermarket hood

Yo Dustin, do you like the side moldings on your fk8? Mine doesnt have them nor do I see them. Thoughts?

what sticker is on your back left window?

in the FK8 there is a process to fully turn the TC off, its really bizarre. I had to google it and it still took me a few tries.

Turning the defrost on high with the heat cranked should help the overheating issue temporarily.

Bro ur videos make me so excited about doing up my integra type r ! Easily most favourite youtuber, also do u have plans to go back to japan any time soon?

Is uk fuel a higher ron than America? Must surly cause problems when you map them

There is a Js Racing hood that has a ton of ventilation.

Starting to be one of my favorite channels

What’s the song during the drifting scene?

I think you forgot to put it in to +R for your last lap lol, welcome back to the FK8 club!!

What about a lower temp thermostat?

fk8 is one of the best handling cars on the road, probably one of the most underrated track cars for sure.

Spoon thermostat, J’s Racing grille, Koyo rad!

Go drift dustin 👌🏼🙌🏻🔥

Please do another drift build!

It’s so crazy seeing you in my state 😭😭😭 love the videos bro 🤟🏽🤟🏽

Those drifts were dope af

What endless pads did you put on? How’s the pad holding up on track?

Drifting footy with Grant was fire!

how much is the TYPE R in the US? here in the PH its around $60,000 second hand

Yes, more drift builds

I would LOVE to see a drift car build and watch you run it. The race cars are cool and all but it would be awesome to see you switch it up

You need more airflow! J's grill, vented hood, pwr radiator race spec, maybe try the acuity reverse flow? I don't know how those hoses exactly perform, but I heard some good news. But overall, airflow is the biggest problem with our fk8.

100% you should do a drift build 💯🔥

I also noticed you didn't have it on R mode 1st and last session and you have to hold down the traction control button 10 seconds .

I’m considering buy a type R today..what’s the usual price for a 17” 38k miles..
