PRIOR TO ORDERING: Please email us if you are pairing with a V1 charge piping, prior to ordering.

It’s no secret that Honda’s 1.5L turbo Civic is extremely susceptible to heat-soak, especially when retaining the factory intercooler. Excessive heat-soak increases the risk of detonation and causes major power-loss due to high charge air and cylinder temperatures. These issues become even more prevalent with spirited driving and/or increased power outputs. The PRL Motorsports intercooler upgrade decreases charge air temperatures while increasing potential airflow with its dense 550+ hp-rated (though we have pushed 600+) 25.6x4x6.3” bar-and-plate bar-and-plate core and machined billet aluminum end tanks!

This intercooler utilizes factory mounting spots with our embossed end tanks.

Kit Includes:

• (1) Intercooler Assembly w/ Billet End Tanks
• (2) Air Guides w/ Stainless Hardware
• (2) Billet Aluminum Factory Charge Pipe Adapters
• (1) Cardboard Stencil w/ “PRL” Logo  

Performance Gains:

• 9 horsepower & 3 ft/lb torque gains by simply bolting on
• 50+ F degree drop in post charge air temperature at peak
• Average of 36 F degree drop in post charge air temperature
• Increased efficiency & consistency in power delivery
• Increased engine safety

Installation notes: Removal of the lower factory intake air box damper is recommended for optimal fitment.  It fits factory charge piping or can be paired with our charge pipe upgrade kit for optimal performance.   

NOTE: THERE ARE (2) TOTAL O-RINGS IN THE FACTORY CHARGE PIPE SYSTEM. O-RINGS MAY BE SUBJECT TO REPLACEMENT IF TORN, DRY-ROTTED, DISFORMED OR HIGH MILEAGE 

Stencil instructions: If you plan to utilize the provided stencil to represent PRL on your intercooler:

1. Clean and make sure your intercooler is dry.
2. Place the cardboard stencil onto the front of the intercooler (Make sure the intercooler is not upside down, the PRL logo is on the driver's side end tank).
3. It is recommended to tape down the stencil to have a sharp logo and to avoid moving.
4. Mask off or cover the end tanks to avoid overspray.
5. Apply a high temp engine enamel style spray paint (we recommend Duplicolor DE1635 Ford Semi-Gloss Black, any color can be used).
6. Multiple coats may be needed to have full coverage, this varies per color.
7. Allow to dry 30-60 minutes before installing the intercooler.
8. If any mistakes are made, such as runs/overspray, acetone or paint thinner can be used to remove any unwanted paint or to remove the stencil entirely, though this will take some time.
9. Keep the stencil handy and in a safe spot without bending if you would like to refresh your intercooler after years of road debris blasting it!
