The HKS intercooler for the Honda Civic Type-R uses a larger size intercooler to maintain cooling performance. The newly designed 100mm wide core allows approximately 200% more area when compared to the stock core capacity.
Please note, there are two versions available: 13001-AH004 Intercooler Kit Includes Piping 13001-AH005 Core Only Piping kit 13002-AH001 is available to purchase separately.
The K20C engine achieves 320ps with 2.0L displacement, and the boost pressure exceeds 150kPa. Since the stock intercooler’s capacity is insufficient, the engine intake air temperature rises to nearly 90℃. HKS intercooler is using a larger size intercooler to maintain cooling performance.
The stock intercooler piping layout has a sharp bend so the intake air does not flow smoothly and causes the boost pressure loss. HKS intercooler integrates the inlet side tank of the intercooler and pipe to realize a smooth air flow and reduce air intake loss.
Newly designed 100mm wide core is approximately 200% of the stock in the core capacity. This large core shows overwhelming cooling performance difference. Core Size; HKS: 695mm x 178mm x 100mm, Stock: 680mm x 143mm x 64mm
Minor modification of the fan shroud and rubber part that comes in contact with the core is required.
