Mishimoto Performance Intercooler – Honda Civic 1.5T/Si (2022+)

Description

The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler, part number MMINT-CIV-22BK, is a purpose-built bar-and-plate intercooler engineered specifically for the turbocharged 1.5T engine found in the Honda Civic and related Acura Integra platforms. With cast aluminum end tanks, a welded aluminum core, and CNC-machined adapters color-coded in anodized red and blue, this is not a generic universal cooler — it’s a direct-fit upgrade designed around the factory L15B7/L15CA engine and FE1 chassis.

This forced induction upgrade delivers a 146% increase in core volume over the stock intercooler, giving your engine substantially more cooling capacity as your build progresses. When paired with performance pipes, the intercooler is rated for gains of up to 8.1 horsepower and 8.1 lb-ft of torque; with stock piping still installed, expect up to 7.2 horsepower and 8.6 lb-ft. Beyond peak numbers, average outlet temperatures drop 18.1°F compared to stock, which helps the induction system maintain consistent power and resist heat soak during hard driving or repeated track sessions. Built to support builds up to 572 HP, with a maximum recommended horsepower rating of 570 and a maximum recommended boost pressure of 100 PSI, this performance induction upgrade is designed to keep pace as your Civic’s power grows.

Vehicle Applications

This intercooler is a specific fit for the 2022–2024 Honda Civic EX, EX-L, Sport Touring, and Touring, the 2022–2026 Honda Civic Si, and the 2023–2026 Honda CR-V EX, EX-L, and LX, all equipped with the 1.5L L4 (L15B7/L15CA) engine. It also fits the 2023–2026 Acura Integra A-Spec and Integra Base. Installation is plug-and-play, requires no cutting, and the CNC-machined adapters ensure full compatibility with factory piping and stock ducting.
