Product Information
This kit pairs a silver all-aluminum bar-and-plate intercooler with wrinkle red mandrel-bent aluminum charge pipes for the 1.5L turbo Civic and Civic Si. The intercooler has 102% more volume and 97% more fin surface area than the factory tube-and-fin unit, dropping outlet air temperature by 20°F on the stock tune and up to 42°F with a performance tune. The hot side and cold side pipes grow from 42 mm to 55 mm with gentler bends and 5-layer fiber-embedded silicone couplers, and the kit added up to 4 whp and 8 lb-ft stock, or 11 whp and 9 lb-ft with a tune.
