Description

PRL Motorsports Intercooler Upgrade for Honda Civic Type R (FK8 2017-2021)

The PRL Motorsports Front Mount Intercooler Upgrade is engineered to enhance the performance of your Honda Civic Type R FK8 by delivering substantial power gains and reducing boost lag. Designed for those seeking a balance between efficiency and performance, this intercooler is a perfect upgrade for both daily drivers and track enthusiasts.

Improved Cooling Efficiency

The stock intercooler on the Civic Type R is adequate for standard driving, but it struggles to maintain optimal intake air temperatures during aggressive driving or in hotter climates. PRL's intercooler upgrade addresses this issue with a more substantial core design that offers significantly improved cooling efficiency. The increased core size allows for more air to pass through, effectively lowering the intake air temperatures and ensuring consistent performance even under high boost conditions.

Significant Power Gains

One of the key benefits of the PRL Motorsports intercooler upgrade is the noticeable power gains it offers. By reducing the intake air temperature, the engine can operate more efficiently, resulting in an increase in horsepower and torque. PRL has designed this intercooler to provide a balance between size and performance, allowing for significant power gains without the increased turbo lag typically associated with larger intercoolers.

Reduced Boost Lag

Unlike some oversized intercoolers that can introduce unwanted boost lag, the PRL Motorsports intercooler is optimized to maintain a medium size that improves airflow without compromising response time. This means you get quicker throttle response and better overall drivability, making it ideal for both street and track use. The reduction in boost lag allows for a more responsive driving experience, making the vehicle feel more agile and engaging.

Durability and Quality Construction

PRL Motorsports has constructed this intercooler from high-quality billet aluminum, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of high-performance driving. The intercooler features a bar-and-plate design, known for its durability and superior cooling performance compared to tube-and-fin designs. This construction method not only enhances the intercooler's strength but also maximizes heat dissipation, ensuring consistent performance over time.

Easy Installation

This intercooler upgrade is designed as a direct replacement for the factory intercooler, requiring no modifications for installation. It includes all necessary hardware and instructions, making it a straightforward upgrade that can be completed with basic hand tools. The precision engineering ensures a perfect fit, allowing you to take full advantage of the improved cooling capacity with minimal downtime.
