PRL Intercooler 2016-2021 Honda Civic 1.5T (10th Gen FC1 FC3) BLACK

PRL Intercooler Upgrade for 2016-2021 Honda Civic 1.5T (10th Gen Civic)
Direct-Fit Bar-and-Plate Core w/ Billet End Tanks – PRL Motorsports

The 2016-2021 Honda Civic with the 1.5L turbo engine—especially in the EX, Sport, and Si trims—struggles when the heat builds up. The factory intercooler just doesn’t cut it. Heat soak sets in fast, robbing power and consistency during hard driving or repeated pulls. The PRL Motorsports intercooler is the go-to solution for owners who want colder intake temps, more reliable power, and stronger performance without compromise.

This upgraded intercooler is built around a dense bar-and-plate core, sized at 25.5" x 4" x 6.3", and rated for 550+ horsepower (we’ve seen them support up to 600HP). The result? A massive improvement in heat exchange and airflow. You’ll see an average of 36°F lower intake temps, with drops exceeding 50°F at peak, helping you run harder, longer—without heat soak holding you back. That drop in charge temps means a more efficient combustion process, improved throttle response, and better safety under load.

For stock or modified setups, this is one of the most effective cooling upgrades you can bolt on. Expect real-world gains of +9hp and +3 ft/lb torque, just by swapping this in. Even better, the PRL intercooler uses factory mounting points, comes with all hardware needed for installation, and includes billet aluminum charge pipe adapters and air guides for a seamless install.

• (1) PRL Intercooler Assembly w/ Machined Billet End Tanks
