Wagner Tuning 2022+ Honda Civic Type R (FL5) Competition Intercooler Kit

The core of this intercooler kit features a 70mm thick, high-performance bar-and-plate design. This substantial size allows for a much larger surface area and internal volume compared to the factory unit, which is crucial for cooling the boosted air charge effectively. Wagner Tuning uses this specific bar-and-plate construction because it offers a great balance of cooling efficiency and airflow, making it a popular choice for performance applications where consistent power delivery is key.

This kit is built specifically for the 2022 and newer Honda Civic Type R, codenamed FL5. It replaces the stock intercooler with a larger, more capable unit designed to handle increased boost pressures and temperatures. The kit includes all the necessary components for installation, such as custom-fit aluminum end tanks and high-quality silicone hoses, ensuring a direct fit without major modifications. By reducing the intake air temperature, this intercooler helps the engine produce more consistent power, especially during prolonged high-load driving or track use, and can also help prevent heat soak.

Installation involves removing the factory intercooler and mounting this larger unit in its place. The included silicone hoses connect the new intercooler to the factory charge pipes, and the custom end tanks are designed to integrate smoothly with the vehicle's existing plumbing. While this kit is designed for a direct fit, it's always a good idea to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details and any required tools. This intercooler is a solid option for Type R owners looking to improve their car's performance and reliability under demanding conditions.
