Bar and Plate Front Mount Intercooler

The Rev 9 ICK-072-BLACK is a front mount intercooler upgrade kit designed to enhance performance for the 2016+ Honda Civic 1.5L Turbo motor, including Si models. This intercooler features a robust bar and plate core constructed from 100% aluminum with tig-welded end tanks, offering a significant upgrade over the factory unit. It provides 50% more airflow volume and a lower pressure drop compared to the OEM intercooler, facilitating cooler and denser air intake for increased power and torque. The kit includes all necessary components shown in the product photos. While the intercooler is larger than the stock unit, minor trimming of the plastic shrouding may be required during installation. The unit retains OEM active grille shutters. Key specifications include a core length of 28 inches, core height of 5 inches (low side) and 6.75 inches (high side), and a core thickness of 3.5 inches. The inlet/outlet size is OEM 2-bolt type, with an end-to-end length of 35 inches and a working pressure of 35-40 PSI. The construction involves machine cutting and stamping, followed by hand welding. This intercooler is specifically designed for the Honda Civic with the 1.5L Turbo engine from 2016 onwards. One user reported that post-intercooler temperatures remained below 85 degrees Fahrenheit during aggressive testing in 65-degree ambient temperatures, expressing satisfaction with the results for the price.
