HKS intercooler and piping kit (Honda Civic 2022+ 2.0 Type R FL5)

After extensive research, HKS noticed that the stock intercooler in the Civic Type-R was simply insufficient to handle the pressure generated by the K20C turbocharged engine. This was leading to engine intake temperatures rising to nearly 90°C.

The newly designed HKS Civic Type-R intercooler core is 100mm wide and has a capacity roughly 200% greater than the stock intercooler. This large core has shown an overwhelming increase in cooling performance.

They also saw that the stock intercooler piping layout had a sharp bend, so the intake air did not flow smoothly and lead to boost pressure loss. They've answered this by integrating a superior piping design to realize smooth air flow and reduce this loss.

Features

- Greatly increased coolant capacity
- Smoother piping on the ends to reduce pressure loss
- Overwhelming increase in cooling performance


Replacing the stock rubber intercooler inlet and outlet hoses with aluminium piping eliminates pipe expansion that can be associated with the stock factory piping, allowing greater boost levels to be run and improving throttle response. The factory rubber hoses are replaced with aluminium pipes and silicone hoses and secured with reinforced hose bands.
