Mishimoto 2017+ Honda Civic Type R Intercooler Kit - Silver Intercooler Red Piping

The 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R is a seriously fast front-wheel-drive machine, but even Honda had to make some compromises for its dual nature as a track car and daily driver. One of those compromises is the stock intercooler, which can get overwhelmed when you're pushing the car hard or on a hot day. This Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit is designed to keep your Type R's charged air cool, putting power back into your engine.

Mishimoto started by significantly increasing the size of the intercooler core, making it more than double the stock dimensions. The 4.7-inch thick core offers a 169-percent increase in volume and a 189-percent bump in external fin surface area, which is crucial for rejecting heat effectively. To handle the increased airflow through this larger core, they've opted for a bar-and-plate construction. This robust design not only improves flow but also helps transfer heat away from the charged air more efficiently. Gone are the plastic end tanks; this kit features sleek cast aluminum end tanks that direct airflow smoothly to and from the piping.

The updates don't stop at the intercooler itself. Mishimoto also overhauled the intercooler piping. The stock piping diameters can restrict boost potential when tuning your K20C1 engine, and the rubber sections are prone to deterioration over time. This kit replaces those restrictive sections with 2.5-inch mandrel-bent aluminum piping, ensuring a smooth path for charged air and improved durability. This comprehensive kit is designed to be a direct fit for your 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R.
