Cool down the charged air in your turbocharged 2016+ Honda Civic with Mishimoto's high - performance intercooler kit! In the turbo era, Honda's tenth - gen Civic with the L15B7 engine faces a common foe: heat. The stock intercooler, with its tube - and - fin design and plastic end tanks, is a hotbed for high temperatures. Our all - aluminum, bar - and - plate intercooler is built for Honda fans. It gets rid of the high charged air temperatures that plague the stock unit. With a 102% increase in volume and a 97% increase in fin surface area, it can drop outlet air temperatures by 20°F compared to the stock intercooler, and up to 42°F with a performance tune. The benefits don't stop at the intercooler. Our direct - fit kit overhauls the stock piping. We replaced the plastic and rubber with mandrel - bent aluminum and 5 - layer, fiber - embedded silicone couplers. The piping size increases from 42mm to 55mm (a 30% increase), and we've reduced the bend angles for better airflow. This kit adds up to 4 hp and 8 ft - lbs of torque on stock tuning, and can boost that to 11 hp and 9 ft - lbs with a tune. This part fits multiple 2016 - 2021 Honda Civic models including EX, EX - L, LX, Touring and more, as well as 2017 - 2021 Civic Sport, Sport Touring, Type R and the 2021 Type R Limited Edition.

Using your Mishimoto intercooler kit is a breeze. First, make sure your car's engine is completely cooled down. Remove the stock intercooler and its piping carefully. Then, install the new intercooler from our kit in the same position as the old one. Connect the mandrel - bent aluminum piping with the 5 - layer, fiber - embedded silicone couplers, making sure all connections are tight. When you're done, start your engine and check for any air leaks. For maintenance, regularly inspect the intercooler and piping for any signs of damage or wear. Clean the intercooler with a gentle automotive cleaner and a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. If you notice any cracks in the piping or couplers, replace them right away. Also, keep in mind that using a performance tune can enhance the kit's performance, but always follow the tune's instructions. This will help keep your intercooler kit in top shape and your Honda Civic running great.
