SpeedFactory Racing Performance Cooling Systems & Radiators
Honda & Acura Racing Radiators, Tucked Radiators and Cooling Components
SpeedFactory Racing offers specialized cooling system components for Honda and Acura performance builds, including turbocharged street cars, engine swaps, track vehicles, and dedicated drag racing applications.
Our product lineup includes aluminum tucked radiators, universal aluminum race radiators, -16AN radiator hose kits, billet thermostat housings, coolant fill pots, and specialty cooling hardware.
SpeedFactory Racing Tucked Radiators
A tucked radiator is designed to provide additional space within a crowded engine bay. This can be particularly useful for Honda and Acura builds with custom turbo manifolds, intercooler piping, or other performance modifications.
The SpeedFactory Racing Aluminum Tucked Radiator provides a compact cooling system solution for supported applications where engine bay space is limited.
When selecting a tucked radiator, consider mounting position, available airflow, cooling requirements, hose routing, and compatibility with the vehicle's engine and chassis.
Universal Aluminum Race Radiators
SpeedFactory Racing also offers a Universal Aluminum Race Radiator for custom motorsports cooling system installations.
Universal race radiators can provide flexibility when building a custom engine bay or purpose-built racing vehicle where conventional radiator placement is impractical.
Proper radiator selection depends on installation space, coolant capacity, airflow, heat rejection requirements, and how the vehicle will be operated.
A compact radiator is not automatically suitable for every horsepower level or driving condition. Cooling performance depends on the complete system.
-16AN Radiator Hose & Fitting Kits
SpeedFactory Racing offers -16AN radiator hose and fitting kits for supported Honda and Acura engine platforms.
Available configurations include universal race radiator kits for B-Series, D-Series, F-Series, H-Series, K-Series, and J-Series applications, along with tucked radiator hose kits for selected engine platforms.
These kits provide components for connecting compatible radiators and engine cooling systems.
Before ordering, verify the radiator design, engine application, hose routing, fitting sizes, and installation clearances.
Billet Thermostat Housings & Coolant Fill Components
SpeedFactory Racing offers billet and cast thermostat housings for selected Honda engine applications, including B-Series and D-Series configurations.
Products include billet B/D-Series thermostat housings and cast -16AN thermostat housings for compatible cooling system installations.
Our lineup also includes coolant fill pots and upper coolant fill necks designed to support custom radiator and cooling system configurations.
Correct coolant fill and air-bleeding arrangements are important, particularly in custom cooling systems where radiator placement differs from the original factory configuration.
Radiator Caps & Cooling System Pressure
SpeedFactory Racing offers performance radiator caps, including 1.3-bar Type A and Type B configurations.
A radiator cap helps regulate cooling system pressure and must be compatible with the radiator or filler neck being used.
Higher system pressure can increase coolant boiling resistance, but the complete cooling system must be designed and rated appropriately.
Always verify cap fitment, system pressure requirements, and component compatibility before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions About Honda Performance Cooling Systems
What is a tucked radiator for a Honda or Acura?
A tucked radiator is a compact radiator arrangement intended to create additional space in the engine bay. This can help accommodate turbocharger systems, custom piping, and other performance components when properly designed and installed.
Is a tucked radiator better than a full-size radiator?
Not necessarily. A tucked radiator may offer packaging advantages, while a larger radiator may provide more cooling capacity under certain conditions. The best choice depends on the engine, vehicle use, airflow, and cooling requirements.
What is a -16AN radiator hose kit?
A -16AN radiator hose kit uses compatible AN-style hose and fitting connections for custom cooling system plumbing. Fitment depends on the radiator, engine, hose configuration, and connection design.
Why is a coolant fill pot used in a custom cooling system?
A properly positioned coolant fill pot can provide a filling point and help manage air removal in cooling systems where the radiator or other components are positioned differently from the factory design.
What should I consider when choosing a radiator for a turbocharged Honda?
Consider engine heat output, vehicle use, radiator dimensions, available airflow, fan arrangement, coolant routing, mounting clearance, and overall system design.
