Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit, part number MMINT-CIV-22KBKWBK, is a complete air-to-air forced induction upgrade purpose-built for the turbocharged 1.5-liter Honda Civic platform and its L15B7/L15CA-powered siblings. Built around a bar-and-plate core with cast aluminum end tanks and high-flow aluminum piping, this kit is designed to move more air, run cooler, and support serious forced induction builds up to 572 horsepower and 100 PSI of boost pressure.
As a dedicated performance induction system, this kit delivers gains of up to 8.1 horsepower and 8.1 lb-ft of torque over the stock intercooler by increasing core volume by 146% for greater cooling capacity. The high-flow aluminum piping replaces the restrictive factory hot-side pipe with a design that boosts flow area by 103% and a cold-side pipe that adds 75% more flow, while removing the OEM resonator entirely for a sharper, more aggressive induction sound under boost. In testing, average outlet air temperatures dropped 18.1°F compared to stock, helping the forced induction system maintain consistent power and resist heat soak during hard driving, spirited back-road runs, or repeated track laps. Welded aluminum construction, cast end tanks, and wire-reinforced, 5-layer DuraCore™ silicone couplers are built to handle the heat and pressure that come with a serious induction force upgrade, and a pre-drilled 1/8-inch NPT sensor port on the cold-side pipe leaves room to add auxiliary sensors or gauges as your build evolves.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto intercooler kit is a specific-fit forced induction system engineered for the Honda Civic EX, EX-L, Sport Touring, and Touring trims from 2022–2024, along with the Honda Civic Si covering 2022–2026. It also fits the Acura Integra A-Spec and Integra Base from 2023–2026, plus the Honda CR-V EX, EX-L, and LX trims from 2023–2026. Coverage centers on vehicles equipped with the L15B7/L15CA engine on the FE1 chassis platform.
