COBB 2023 Honda Civic Type R FL5 Intercooler

COBB Tuning Intercooler Kit (Silver) for Honda Civic Type-R FL5 and Acura Integra Type-S DE5

The COBB Tuning Intercooler Kit in silver is a complete front-mount intercooler upgrade designed to improve cooling efficiency, reduce heat soak, and maintain consistent power delivery on the turbocharged K20C1 platform. While the factory intercooler performs adequately at stock output, it becomes a limiting factor during aggressive driving, track use, or when paired with performance tuning. COBB engineered this kit to provide a substantial increase in cooling capacity while maintaining excellent fitment and long-term reliability.

This system is ideal for drivers seeking dependable thermal control without sacrificing drivability or compatibility with factory and performance calibrations.

High-Capacity Intercooler Core

At the center of this kit is a high-quality intercooler core measuring 26.2 inches by 7 inches by 4.25 inches. This core offers more than double the volume of the factory intercooler, significantly increasing surface area for heat dissipation. The larger core allows compressed intake air to cool more effectively before entering the engine, helping maintain denser air charge and more stable power output during repeated acceleration or sustained high-load driving.

The increased thermal capacity helps delay heat saturation and supports consistent performance during demanding conditions.

Cast Aluminum End Tanks with Optimized Airflow

The intercooler core is paired with cast aluminum end tanks designed specifically to distribute airflow evenly across the entire core. These end tanks reduce turbulence and pressure loss as air enters and exits the intercooler, improving overall efficiency and boost response. The cast construction provides excellent strength and durability while maintaining smooth internal airflow characteristics.

Upgraded Charge Piping System

This intercooler kit includes 2.5-inch mandrel-bent aluminum charge piping on both the hot and cold sides. The smooth bends and consistent diameter reduce airflow restriction and promote stable boost delivery. High-quality silicone couplers and constant-tension clamps are included to ensure secure, leak-free connections under elevated boost pressures.

Improved Thermal Performance and Engine Protection

By lowering intake air temperatures and improving airflow efficiency, the COBB Tuning Intercooler Kit helps protect the engine from heat-related power loss and inconsistent performance. Cooler charge air reduces the likelihood of detonation and allows the engine to operate more efficiently, especially during spirited driving or repeated pulls. The result is improved throttle response, stronger mid-range performance, and greater consistency from run to run.

Direct-Fit Installation and Tuning Compatibility

This kit is designed to install in the factory intercooler location with no permanent modifications required on the Honda Civic Type-R FL5. For the Acura Integra Type-S DE5, minor adjustments may be required for proper fitment. The system is compatible with factory ECU calibration as well as COBB Off-The-Shelf tuning maps, making it a flexible upgrade for both stock and tuned vehicles.

No cutting or trimming of the chassis is required, and all necessary hardware is included.

Vehicle Fitment

This intercooler kit is designed for the following applications:

• 2023 and newer Honda Civic Type-R FL5
