It’s no secret that Honda’s 1.5L turbo Civic is extremely susceptible to heat-soak, especially when retaining the factory intercooler. Excessive heat-soak increases the risk of detonation and causes major power-loss due to high charge air and cylinder temperatures. These issues become even more prevalent with spirited driving and/or increased power outputs. The PRL Motorsports intercooler upgrade decreases charge air temperatures while increasing potential airflow with its dense 550+ horsepower rated (though we have pushed 600+) 26x4.5x5.9” bar-and-plate bar-and-plate core and machined billet aluminum end tanks! This intercooler utilizes factory mounting spots with our embossed end tanks. Kits will come with all hardware needed for a seamless install.

Performance Gains:

• Drastically reduced charge air temperatures
  • Testing showed up to a decrease of 108 degrees (F) when comparing to the factory intercooler
• Increased efficiency & consistency in power delivery
  •  Testing showed up to a 40% increase in cooling efficiency when comparing to the factory intercooler
  •  Testing showed up to 9 horsepower gains on a stock vehicle
• Increased engine safety
