Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit (MMINT-CIV-22KSLWBK) is a complete, purpose-built forced induction upgrade for the 2022+ Honda Civic 1.5T platform, pairing a cast-end-tank bar-and-plate core with high-flow aluminum piping to replace the restrictive factory setup. This isn’t a generic induction system swap — it’s engineered specifically around the L15B7/L15CA engine, delivering measurable gains of up to 8.1 horsepower and 8.1 lb-ft of torque over stock.
As a dedicated forced induction upgrade, this kit tackles the two biggest limitations of the factory induction system: restrictive piping and undersized core volume. The hot-side pipe increases flow area by 103% and the cold-side by 75%, while a 146% larger core volume drops average outlet temperatures by 18.1°F compared to stock, reducing heat soak and helping the engine hold consistent power during hard driving. Removing the OEM resonator also sharpens induction sound under boost. Built for serious performance induction demands, the kit is rated to support builds up to 572 HP, giving Civic, Integra, and CR-V 1.5T owners real headroom as their build evolves — with wire-reinforced, 5-layer DuraCore™ silicone couplers and welded aluminum construction standing up to sustained boost pressure.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto intercooler kit is a specific-fit forced induction system engineered for the 1.5L turbocharged L15B7/L15CA engine (FE1 chassis) found across several Honda and Acura models. Coverage includes the 2022–2024 Honda Civic EX, EX-L, Sport Touring, and Touring, plus the 2022–2026 Honda Civic Si. It also fits the 2023–2026 Acura Integra A-Spec and Base, and the 2023–2026 Honda CR-V EX, EX-L, and LX.
