Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit (MMINT-CTR-23KBKBK) is a direct-fit upgrade engineered for the K20C1-powered FL5 Honda Civic Type R and DE5 Acura Integra Type S, replacing the factory air-to-air intercooler with a bar-and-plate core that delivers 140% more core volume than stock. Cast aluminum end tanks, mandrel-bent and cast aluminum piping, and a full set of silicone couplers combine to drop peak intake air temperatures by up to 57°F compared to stock while unlocking gains of up to 10 horsepower and 9 lb-ft of torque.
As a forced induction upgrade for a turbocharged induction system, this Mishimoto intercooler is built to keep intake temperatures consistent through repeated heat-soak sessions, not just a single pull. Increased 2.5-inch inlet and outlet piping diameters improve airflow through the induction system, and the kit is rated to support forced induction builds making up to 600 horsepower, giving Civic Type R and Integra Type S owners real headroom as they push their performance induction setups further. Installation is straightforward: the kit works with the factory ducting, requires no cutting, and the cast pipes are shaped specifically to clear the tight FL5 engine bay.
