Description

The HKS Oil Cooler Kit Black is a comprehensive, vehicle-specific cooling solution engineered to protect the FA24 engine during extreme driving conditions like circuit use, high-performance street driving, or forced induction applications. Designed to suppress dangerous oil temperature spikes that exceed 130°C on track, this kit enables sustained performance and enhances engine longevity. It integrates a 12-stage core, a unique low-profile oil filter housing, and an adjustable ducting system, all finished in a stealthy black aesthetic for a purpose-built, OEM+ appearance.

Product Highlights

🌡️ Essential Thermal Management for Sustained Performance
The FA24 engine experiences significant oil temperature rise under hard use. This kit directly addresses that weakness by adding a dedicated 12-stage oil cooler core, stabilizing oil temperatures and allowing for continuous circuit laps or aggressive driving without the risk of thermal degradation and power loss.

🛡️ Advanced, Vehicle-Specific Integration
This is not a universal kit. Every component is designed specifically for the GR86/BRZ platform:

• Low-Profile Machined Aluminum Oil Filter Housing: A unique HKS design that lowers the filter position by 22mm compared to standard adapters. This prevents interference with the A/C line and keeps the filter from protruding awkwardly into the engine bay.

• Integrated Thermostat: Prevents overcooling during daily driving by bypassing the cooler until optimal oil temperature is reached, ensuring proper viscosity and engine warm-up.

• Adjustable Front Duct with Flap: Features an adjustable opening to fit precisely within the bumper openings of both the GR86 and BRZ, and to accommodate installation alongside HKS supercharger or turbo kit intercoolers.

💨 Optimized Aerothermal Efficiency
The kit includes press-molded louvers for the inner fender liner. These louvers serve a dual purpose: they efficiently exhaust hot air from the wheel well after it passes through the cooler core, and they act as a protective shield against road debris and stones, safeguarding the core.

✨ Complete System with Refined Details

• Premium Plumbing: Utilizes lightweight mesh-style hoses with black/titanium silver fittings for a durable, high-performance look.

• Dedicated Washer Tank: Includes a compact aluminum washer reservoir that relocates next to the battery, simplifying refills and freeing up space for the cooler plumbing.

• Stealth Aesthetic: The core, fittings, and ducting are presented in a cohesive black finish for a clean, integrated appearance.

Performance Philosophy

• Goal: To provide critical engine protection and consistent performance by solving the FA24’s oil temperature vulnerability. The focus is on reliability, integration, and track-readiness, ensuring the engine operates within a safe thermal window during extreme use.

• Focus: A mandatory supporting modification for circuit drivers, forced induction builds, and spirited enthusiasts. It is considered essential preventative maintenance for pushing the car’s limits, transforming it from a fair-weather performer into a resilient and repeatable track tool.

Installation & Usage Notes

• 🔧 Professional Installation Required
  Installation requires relocating the washer tank, mounting the core and ducting, fitting the inner fender louvers, and plumbing the oil system. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure proper bleeding of the oil system and correct fitment of all components.

• ⚙️ Designed for Synergy with HKS Performance Kits
  The adjustable duct and compact core placement are specifically engineered to be compatible with the front-mount intercoolers used in the HKS GT2 Supercharger Pro Kit and Bolt-On Turbo Kit.

• 🛢️ Use with High-Temperature Oil
  HKS recommends using high-viscosity oil (40 weight or higher) in conjunction with this cooler for optimal protection in high-stress conditions.
