If you've been pushing your Honda Turbo Civic hard, you probably know that heat-soak can be a real pain, especially if you're sticking with the stock intercooler. When that engine gets too hot, it can lead to detonation and a noticeable drop in power. This is especially true if you like to drive spiritedly or have cranked up the power. That's where the PRL Motorsports intercooler upgrade comes into play.

This upgrade is designed to tackle those high charge air and cylinder temperatures, making sure your ride stays cool under pressure. With its impressive dimensions of 28.35 x 4.3 x 7.25 inches and a maximum rating of over 600 horsepower, this intercooler is built like a tank. The bar-and-plate core increases the surface area by a solid 31%, which means better airflow and optimal cooling. You’ll definitely feel the difference when you hit the gas.

One of the best features is the billet machined aluminum end tanks. Not only do they look slick, but they also maximize efficiency. Plus, installation is a breeze since it uses the factory mounting spots along with all the stock air ducts and shrouds. We even extended the intercooler fins to fill the entire width of the front bumper opening, ensuring that you get all the airflow you need to keep things cool.
