DAY 7: SPOON FL5 Build – HKS Intercooler, Oil Cooler & SPOON Radiator Installed! #FL5 #TypeR

The SPOON FL5 Build continues, and Day 7 is all about keeping temperatures under control. With more power and performance planned for this FL5 Type R, the cooling system becomes one of the most important upgrades in the build. In this episode, we install a complete set of cooling upgrades including the SPOON radiator and radiator hoses, the HKS intercooler, and the HKS oil cooler. The factory FL5 cooling system is already impressive, but once you start pushing the K20C harder on the street, at the track, or with future modifications, managing engine and oil temperatures becomes critical. These upgrades are designed to improve cooling efficiency, maintain consistent performance, and provide greater reliability under demanding conditions. In this episode you'll see: ✅ Installation of the SPOON Sports radiator ✅ SPOON radiator hose upgrade ✅ HKS intercooler installation ✅ HKS oil cooler installation ✅ Cooling system assembly and fitment ✅ Progress on our complete SPOON FL5 Type R build This project is focused on creating the ultimate SPOON-inspired FL5 Type R, combining genuine SPOON Sports components with carefully selected performance parts from industry-leading brands. Every episode brings us one step closer to seeing this car fully assembled and ready to hit the road and track. The K20C platform responds incredibly well to supporting modifications, and cooling upgrades are often overlooked despite being one of the most important foundations for a reliable performance build. By improving charge air temperatures, engine coolant temperatures, and oil temperatures, we're setting up this FL5 for the next stages of the project. We're documenting every step of the build process so you can follow the journey from a stock FL5 Type R to a fully transformed SPOON-inspired machine. Whether you're a Honda enthusiast, a Type R owner, or simply enjoy watching detailed automotive builds, there's plenty more to come. Previous episodes covered: • SPOON K20C engine preparation • Gearbox assembly • SPOON LSD installation • Ogura twin plate clutch installation • Suspension upgrades • Engine and drivetrain preparation And we're only getting started. Upcoming episodes will feature more assembly work, drivetrain installation, engine bay progress, final fitment, tuning preparations, and eventually the first startup of this incredible build.
