{"product_id":"fmic-front-mount-intercooler-kit-1","title":"FMIC Front Mount Intercooler Kit","description":"The 27WON FMIC kit is engineered to significantly improve airflow and thermal efficiency for the 2016+ Honda Civic 1.5T and 2017+ Civic SI models. Recognizing the OEM intercooler as a bottleneck for power gains beyond 200 horsepower, this kit utilizes a larger core with increased frontal area and thickness, resulting in a 120% total core volume increase. The design incorporates aluminum cast end tanks with integrated air-foils to optimize flow distribution across the entire core, enhancing cooling efficiency. This leads to a reduction in intake air charge temperature, crucial for consistent performance during spirited driving and preventing heat soak that affects the stock system.\n\nThe kit includes meticulously designed piping: a 2.25-inch \"hotside\" pipe to promote quick response and a 2.75-inch \"coldside\" pipe to create a larger air \"plenum\" before the throttle body, reducing lag. These pipes are constructed from single seamless units to minimize potential leak points. The silicone couplers are made from 4-ply reinforced silicone with integrated wire reinforcement for increased strength and flexibility. For added functionality, a 1\/8-27 NPT port is integrated into the coldside pipe for methanol auxiliary cooling or fueling. The kit comes complete with polished stainless steel T-bolt clamps.\n\nExtensive testing, including dyno runs on a 2018 SI sedan, showed significant gains. A \"drop-in\" installation of the 27WON Intercooler System alone provided 20whp \u0026amp; 25wtq. With optimized tuning, an additional 15whp was achieved, for a total of 35whp \u0026amp; 25wtq, with potential for more low-end torque on a built engine. The pressure drop across the core was reduced from approximately 1.60psi to 0.70psi, aiding turbo spool time. Installation is rated at a 2\/5 difficulty with an estimated 3-hour install time, and full-color digital installation instructions are provided.\n\nCompatibility: This kit is designed for the 2016+ Honda Civic with the 1.5L turbo engine (USDM and International, including sedan, coupe, and hatch models) and the 2017+ Honda Civic SI (FC1 and FC3). Note that the 27WON Cold-pipe may contact the underside of Mishimoto intake users. The kit includes a Limited Lifetime Warranty.","brand":"Won27","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52664136499512,"sku":"L15-6-141-10","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687541984.jpg?v=1784333859","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/fmic-front-mount-intercooler-kit-1","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
