FITS: 

• 11th Gen Honda Civic Type-R
• 5th Gen Acura Integra Type-S

The 11th generation Honda Civic Type-R FL5, a formidable performance machine, demands a level of cooling efficiency that often surpasses the capabilities of its stock intercooler. HKS Japan, renowned for its commitment to Honda and its dedication to crafting high-quality performance upgrades, has developed a solution that addresses this need: the HKS Intercooler Kit. This comprehensive upgrade not only enhances cooling performance but also elevates the overall driving experience of the FL5.

Enhanced Cooling Performance

The HKS Intercooler Kit boasts a significantly enlarged core area, surpassing the stock unit by 22.4%. This increase in surface area maximizes the intercooler's exposure to airflow, resulting in more efficient heat dissipation. The expanded core capacity is capable of handling higher boost levels and accommodates larger turbochargers, making it ideal for those seeking to push the limits of their FL5's performance.

Seamless Integration and Improved Flow

Designed for compatibility with the genuine piping system, the HKS Intercooler Kit ensures a hassle-free installation process. The included piping kit features enlarged and smoother pipes, enabling it to handle the increased airflow generated by the upgraded intercooler. By replacing the stock hose with an aluminum pipe, the HKS kit eliminates the risk of expansion and reduces pressure loss, resulting in more efficient intake flow and optimal performance.

Precision and Aesthetics

The HKS Intercooler Kit is not only functional but also visually appealing. The bent pipe features a mirror-finish buff, while the cast pipe core proudly displays the HKS logo. These attention-to-detail elements showcase the craftsmanship and commitment to quality that HKS is known for.

Upgrade Options

The HKS Intercooler Kit is available in two configurations: a single core item and a full kit. The single core item includes the intercooler core and a masking sheet for logo spray. The full kit, on the other hand, combines the single core with the piping kit, which includes aluminum bent pipes, a casting pipe, silicone hoses, brackets, hose bands, and special bolts and nuts.

Important Considerations

It's essential to note that installing the intercooler assembly requires modifications to the air guide inside the bumper and relocation of the outside temperature sensor. Additionally, installing the piping kit involves cutting the bracket on the vehicle body. These modifications are necessary to ensure proper fitment and optimal performance.

By choosing the HKS Intercooler Kit, owners of the 2023 Honda Civic Type-R FL5 can unlock the full potential of their vehicle. The enhanced cooling performance, seamless integration, and superior craftsmanship offered by HKS make this upgrade a valuable investment for those seeking to elevate their driving experience.
