HKS Intercooler Kit w/o Piping Civic FK7 (L15C)

The core of this HKS intercooler kit features a dense, 62mm thick fin design, which is crucial for efficiently dissipating heat from the compressed intake air charge. This specific design choice is key to maintaining cooler air temperatures entering your Civic FK7's L15C engine, especially when you're pushing the turbocharger harder. By reducing the temperature of the air, you increase its density, allowing the engine to burn more fuel and produce more power, all while reducing the risk of detonation.

This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory intercooler, but it does not include the necessary piping. You'll need to source or fabricate your own intercooler piping to complete the installation. The well-built core is constructed with durable materials to withstand the rigors of daily driving and spirited use. Its substantial size and internal fin structure are engineered to handle increased boost pressures and higher heat loads compared to the stock unit, making it a solid choice for those looking to enhance their turbocharged vehicle's performance and reliability.

Because this kit does not come with piping, it offers flexibility for custom setups or for those who already have compatible piping solutions. It's important to note that this intercooler is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Ensure you have the correct piping and are aware of local emissions regulations before purchasing.
