Varis Arising-I Cooling Bonnet Hood for FK8 Honda Civic Type R

In circuit driving, the FK8 typically faces severe heat damage under normal conditions. Simply enlarging the radiator or adding a design-oriented ducted bonnet fails to lower the water temperature effectively. Consequently, VARIS initiated the development of a cooling bonnet using their accumulated expertise to enhance cooling efficiency. In tests on the track, this cooling bonnet achieved a reduction in water temperature by 5°C compared to the standard setup. Recognizing potential for further improvements, VARIS also began developing a new bumper. The simultaneous installation of both the Varis Front Bumper and the bonnet resulted in a substantial decrease in water temperature, ranging from 10 to 15°C.

Engineering

An ideally shaped outlet duct is strategically positioned to enhance heat dissipation from the radiator core. Air enters via the NACA ducts on both sides and is expelled through the outlet duct at the base of the A-pillar, facilitating the removal of hot air from the engine compartment and improving cooling efficiency. The installation of the duct has also led to a redesign of the inner rib layout, which has increased its strength.

Features

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only.
