Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler (MMINT-CIV-22SL) is purpose-built for the 2022+ Honda Civic 1.5T/Si platform, pairing a bar-and-plate core with cast aluminum end tanks engineered around the L15B7/L15CA turbocharged engine. This specific-fit forced induction upgrade delivers measurable gains of up to 8.1 horsepower and 8.1 lb-ft of torque when paired with performance pipes, or up to 7.2 horsepower and 8.6 lb-ft with the factory piping still in place.
Beyond peak power numbers, this performance induction upgrade delivers a 146% increase in core volume over the stock intercooler, giving the induction system more capacity to manage heat as boost pressure builds. Average outlet temperatures drop by 18.1°F compared to stock, helping the forced induction system maintain consistent power and resist heat soak during hard driving or repeated pulls. Welded aluminum construction and cast aluminum end tanks give the core the durability to handle rigorous use, while the added volume keeps cooling capacity ahead of your Civic 1.5T build as modifications progress; Mishimoto engineered this unit to support builds up to 572 horsepower.
