Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit, part number MMINT-CTR-23KSLRD, is a purpose-built forced induction upgrade engineered specifically for the K20C1-powered Honda Civic Type R and Acura Integra Type S platforms. Featuring cast aluminum end tanks, a bar-and-plate aluminum core, and high-flow 2.5-inch aluminum piping, this intercooler kit is built to handle repeated heat-soak sessions without sacrificing power. With a core volume 140% larger than the factory unit, it’s engineered for drivers who push their forced induction engine hard, lap after lap.
This performance induction upgrade delivers gains of up to 10 horsepower and 9 lb-ft of torque while dropping peak intake air temperatures by as much as 57°F compared to the stock intercooler. Supporting builds up to 600 horsepower and a maximum boost pressure of 50 PSI, the Mishimoto intercooler system is designed to keep intake temperatures consistent even during extended, high-load driving. The increased pipe diameters and larger core work together to maximize airflow through the induction system, helping your engine maintain consistent power instead of losing performance as heat builds up on long track days.
Vehicle Applications
This intercooler kit is a specific-fit forced induction system engineered for the 2023-2026 Honda Civic Type R (chassis code FL5) and the 2024-2026 Acura Integra Type S (chassis code DE5), both equipped with the K20C1 engine. The cast pipes are optimized for maximum airflow within the tight FL5 engine bay, and the kit works seamlessly with the factory ducting, requiring no cutting for installation.
