2022–Present Subaru BRZ & Toyota GR86 FA24
15004-AT014-Promo
Overview:
The HKS S-Type Oil Cooler Kit is a precision-engineered solution designed to maintain optimal oil temperatures for the 2022 and newer Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 equipped with the FA24 engine. Tailored for enthusiasts who push their vehicles on the track or spirited drives, this kit effectively prevents excessive oil heat buildup, ensuring consistent engine performance and longevity under demanding conditions. By controlling oil temperature, it helps avoid the risks associated with overheated or overly viscous oil, such as increased engine friction and wear.
This comprehensive kit is ideal for drivers seeking reliable thermal management without compromising the vehicle’s factory aesthetics or front bumper airflow. It integrates seamlessly with the stock setup while providing enhanced cooling capacity for circuit use and high-performance applications.
Key Features:
The HKS S-Type Oil Cooler Kit offers advanced features engineered for effective oil temperature control and durability:
- Prevents oil temperatures from exceeding 130°C during intense circuit driving, verified through testing on the Fuji Speedway short course.
- Includes a 12-row aluminum oil cooler core mounted discreetly inside the front bumper, positioned in front of the left wheel for optimal airflow without obstructing stock bumper louvers.
- Equipped with a built-in thermostat to prevent overcooling, maintaining ideal oil viscosity and reducing engine drag caused by overly thick oil.
- Comes with a new washer tank to replace the factory unit, allowing relocation to clear space for the oil cooler installation.
- Adjustable intake vent enables fine-tuning of airflow to the cooler for varying driving conditions.
- Compatible with naturally aspirated engines and designed to work alongside front-mounted intercoolers such as the GT2 Supercharger or Bolt-on Turbo Kit (under development).
- Maintains radiator operation efficiency without interference, ensuring balanced engine cooling.
Construction & Design:
The kit features a robust machined aluminum attachment and a high-efficiency 12-row oil cooler core crafted for durability and superior heat dissipation. The cooler’s placement inside the bumper leverages natural airflow while preserving the vehicle’s factory styling and aerodynamic performance. The inclusion of a thermostat within the assembly reflects HKS’s commitment to precision engineering, ensuring oil temperature is regulated to optimal levels without risking overcooling.
All piping, lines, and ducting components are designed for seamless integration and long-lasting reliability, using materials resistant to heat and pressure typical of high-performance driving environments.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation requires replacing the stock washer tank with the one provided in the kit to accommodate the oil cooler assembly. The kit is specifically engineered for the 2022 and newer Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 models equipped with the FA24 engine, ensuring a perfect fit and straightforward installation process. The adjustable intake vent allows installers to optimize airflow based on individual vehicle setups and driving needs.
