Enhance your Honda Civic’s turbocharged performance with the Mishimoto 2016+ Honda Civic 1.5T / 2017+ Civic Si Black Intercooler Kit. Designed specifically for the tenth-generation Civic, this upgrade addresses the common issue of high charged air temperatures caused by the stock intercooler’s tube-and-fin design with plastic end tanks. Constructed entirely from aluminum with a bar-and-plate configuration, this intercooler efficiently dissipates heat generated during compression, helping maintain optimal intake temperatures for improved engine response and power output. The increased core volume by 102% and fin surface area by 97% significantly boost heat exchange capacity, resulting in a 20°F reduction in outlet air temperature under stock tuning and up to 42°F with a performance tune. These improvements translate to more consistent performance and better throttle response during spirited driving or racing conditions. The kit also features a direct-fit piping upgrade that replaces the stock plastic and rubber components with mandrel-bent aluminum pipes and 5-layer, fiber-embedded silicone couplers. The hot and cold side pipes are enlarged from 42mm to 55mm, representing a 30% increase in diameter, which reduces airflow restriction and enhances overall flow efficiency. Additionally, the piping is designed with reduced bend angles for a more direct airflow path, further improving throttle responsiveness and reducing pressure drop. When installed, this intercooler kit can add up to 4 horsepower and 8 ft-lbs of torque on stock tuning, with potential gains of up to 11 hp and 9 ft-lbs of torque when paired with a tune. The kit is compliant with EPA standards, CARB approved under EO number D-759-12, and comes with two boxes for ease of installation. Built for enthusiasts seeking reliable, high-performance cooling, the Mishimoto intercooler kit offers a durable, efficient solution for the modern turbocharged Honda Civic.
