Skunk2 16-21 Honda Civic 1.5T Intercooler (I/C Only - Fits OEM Piping)

If you're looking to get more out of your turbocharged 2016-2021 Honda Civic 1.5T, especially if you've started making modifications, an upgraded intercooler is a smart move. This unit from Skunk2 Racing is designed to replace your factory intercooler, helping to cool the air charge coming from the turbo before it enters the engine. Cooler air is denser air, and denser air means more oxygen for combustion, which can lead to improved power and throttle response, particularly when you're pushing the car hard.

This intercooler is built with a high-density fin core, which means it has more surface area to dissipate heat effectively. The end tanks are also well-constructed to handle the boost pressure. A key benefit here is that it's designed to work with your Civic's factory intercooler piping. This often simplifies the installation process, as you won't need to source or modify new pipework. It's a direct replacement for the stock unit, making it a straightforward upgrade for many enthusiasts looking to enhance their engine's performance and reliability under load.

Keep in mind that this intercooler is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. It's a solid option for those looking to improve their turbocharged Civic's performance, especially when paired with other engine modifications. Ensure you check local emissions regulations before purchasing.
