Performance Intercooler Kit

The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit is meticulously engineered to maximize the potential of the 2022+ Honda Civic 1.5T / Si. It addresses the limitations of the stock intercooler, which can lead to reduced performance and ECU-induced timing pulls under demanding conditions. This comprehensive kit delivers tangible improvements in horsepower and torque, alongside significant reductions in intake air temperatures, ensuring consistent performance even during aggressive driving or track use. Constructed with durable cast aluminum end tanks and a robust bar-and-plate core, this intercooler is rated to support builds of up to 572 horsepower. It provides a 146% increase in core volume over the stock unit, enhancing heat dissipation capabilities. The kit includes high-flow aluminum piping designed to replace restrictive factory components, featuring a 103% flow increase on the hot side and a 75% increase on the cold side. This optimization minimizes pressure loss and maximizes airflow. Additionally, the removal of the OEM resonator contributes to a sharper, more aggressive induction sound under boost. Extensive testing, including dyno runs and heat-soak simulations, demonstrated an average outlet temperature reduction of 18.1°F compared to stock. This cooler air density allows the engine to maintain peak performance for longer durations and prevents the ECU from pulling timing. Flow bench testing confirmed a 32.4% airflow increase and a 20.7% reduction in pressure drop across the intercooler alone. When paired with Mishimoto's optional piping kit, the total average pressure drop is reduced by 25.7%, showcasing the system's efficiency. The cold-side pipe is equipped with a pre-drilled 1/8-inch NPT sensor port, offering flexibility for the installation of auxiliary sensors or gauges. The kit utilizes wire-reinforced, 5-layer DuraCore™ silicone couplers designed to withstand extreme heat and boost pressure. CNC-machined adapters and color-coded anodized finishes simplify installation and enhance engine bay aesthetics. The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and performance. This kit is specifically designed for the 2022+ Honda Civic 1.5T and Si models.
