HEL Performance Brake Lines & Cooling Upgrades at JXL Performance

Proudly manufactured in the United Kingdom, HEL Performance has built an impeccable global reputation in the top tiers of motorsport. While they are world renowned for their premium braided brake lines, HEL also manufactures some of the highest quality engine protection hardware on the market, including highly efficient direct fit oil coolers and precision machined oil catch cans. Whether you are building a fast road daily driver or a dedicated endurance race car, HEL provides the critical fluid transfer and thermal management components needed to keep your vehicle running flawlessly.

Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines

Standard factory rubber brake hoses expand outward when subjected to extreme hydraulic pressure and high temperatures. This volumetric expansion creates a terrifyingly soft and spongy brake pedal under heavy braking. HEL completely eliminates this issue by utilizing a premium PTFE inner core tightly wrapped in a stainless steel outer braid. This rigid construction forces all hydraulic pressure directly into the brake calipers, delivering a rock solid, highly predictable brake pedal lap after lap.

Direct Fit Oil Coolers and Baffled Catch Cans

Modern turbocharged engines generate immense thermal load, rapidly degrading engine oil and causing premature engine wear. HEL Performance direct fit oil cooler kits utilize high capacity aluminum cores and thermostatic sandwich plates to maintain optimal oil temperatures during aggressive track sessions.

Furthermore, direct injection engines are highly prone to carbon buildup on the intake valves due to oil vapor recirculating from the PCV system. HEL baffled oil catch cans intercept this harmful vapor before it reaches the intake manifold, keeping your intake tract completely clean and maintaining maximum engine power over the lifespan of the vehicle.

Essential Hardware for All Performance Platforms

Because reliable braking and optimal engine protection are universally required, HEL hardware is a mandatory bolt on upgrade across every single platform we cater to. From reigning in the massive speeds of a B58 powered BMW M140i or an S55 equipped F80 M3, to optimizing the braking on a lightweight Mk7 or Mk8 Ford Fiesta ST, their brake lines are an absolute necessity. Likewise, their direct fit oil coolers and catch cans are essential for protecting the high output EA888.3 engine in the VW Golf R and Audi S3, as well as demanding JDM track weapons like the K20C1 powered Honda Civic Type R FK8 and the turbocharged G16E-GTS Toyota GR Yaris.
