PRL Motorsports Front Mount Billet Intercooler - 2016+ Civic 1.5T (FK7/FC1/FC3)

It’s no secret that Honda’s newer turbo platforms are 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+) 25.6x4x6.3” 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. Removal of the lower factory intake air box damper is recommended for optimal fitment.

Note: There are two total O-rings in the factory charge pipe system. These O-rings may be subject to replacement if torn, dry rotted, or dis-formed from high mileage.  Replacement PRL O-rings are available if you are reusing factory charge pipe (see menu).
