{"product_id":"intercooler-upgrade-kit-with-billet-aluminum-end-tanks","title":"Intercooler Upgrade Kit with Billet Aluminum End Tanks","description":"The PRL Motorsports Intercooler Upgrade Kit directly addresses the heat-soak susceptibility of the Honda 1.5L turbo Civic engine, a common issue that can compromise performance and increase the risk of detonation. This upgrade features a robust 550+ horsepower rated bar-and-plate core, constructed with machined billet aluminum end tanks for maximum efficiency and durability.\n\nA minor note for optimal fitment is the recommendation to remove the lower factory intake air box damper. Crucially, this intercooler upgrade DOES NOT REQUIRE TUNING, making it a straightforward performance enhancement.\n\nThis intercooler provides tangible performance benefits, including an estimated 9 horsepower and 3 ft\/lb of torque gain as a simple bolt-on modification. More significantly, it achieves a substantial drop in charge air temperatures, with over a 50°F decrease at peak and an average of 36°F reduction. This leads to increased efficiency, more consistent power delivery, and enhanced engine safety, especially during spirited driving or when running higher power outputs.\n\nIncluded in the box is the intercooler assembly with billet end tanks, air guides with stainless hardware, and billet aluminum factory charge pipe adapters. The kit comes with a PRL stencil for a personalized touch.","brand":"PRL Motorsports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52663342858552,"sku":"PRL-FMIC-10GEN","price":594.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687528737.jpg?v=1784326117","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/intercooler-upgrade-kit-with-billet-aluminum-end-tanks","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
