@Reply #2 - good point! Honestly though, hardware is only half the battle. You should definitely look into the Hondata FlashPro FK8 Type R first. It is an amazing tool that lets you lower fan trigger temperatures via the ECU! This is way more budget-friendly than doing every cooler at once and gives you total control over thermal logic. Totally fantastic for San Diego track days!

I went through the same thing last summer. Honestly, the best bang for your buck to stop that heat soak is an upgraded intercooler. I put in the Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Honda Civic Type R FK8 Silver and it worked way better than stock. It's a solid fix that holds up well after several laps. Let me know if you need help with the install steps!
