Radium Engineering Catch Cans and Coolant Tank for FL5

[Bobbymcbobby]

Hi ya'll,

Radium Engineering was gracious enough to test some fitments for the PCV and CCV catch cans on my Type R, I know that people have done the PCV catch can but wanted to let everyone know that the CCV catch can also fits, but with some different routing. And of course the coolant tank fits. The instructions from what I see on their website is up for the FL5!

And here's how it looks when I picked up my car. Must say, crazy good quality

Has anyone had issues with the bottom banjo fitting leaking?

I have not had the bottom banjo fitting leak, but a have had the seal in between case of the coolant tank leak. i would suggest contacting Radium as they were able to help me out

What was the fix?

Well since I am from where radium is, what has helped for me was a replacement gasket

So after replacing the gasket, which I assume is just the same gasket they ship with, you no longer have a leak?

Keep a check on the coolant level. Looks overfilled to me. I have to keep my level near the bottom of the sight tube when cold. When the coolant expands it gets to the halfway 3/4 mark. It'll likely sort itself out via the puke tube on its own though.

lol it’s been quite a while since getting this. Radium had fitted my car to make sure the fk8 things were compatible before putting the products on their site for the fl5. During track day it did puke some out but seems like at some points there is an air bubble so it’s not overfilled although it seems like it at times

Yes, no longer leaking from the gasket. I also wouldn’t call it a leak, it just seems like the coolant would soak through the gasket. At least that was the case for me. I’d speak to them
