HKS Intercooler Kit | 23+ Civic Type R FL5, 23+ Integra Type S DE5

Intercooler Core

• A huge 22.4% increase in core’s area leads to immense improvement in cooling.
• The OEM core does not provide sufficient cooling capacity when boosting up, with increased core capacity it will be compatible with everything from boosting up to turbo upgrade.
• The core is designed to be also installed with OEM piping

Piping Kit

• Upon enlarging the pipe diameter and smoothing out the inner design in comparison to OEM we are able to increase power output.
• The OEM hose is prone to expand under high boost, but aluminum pipe has completely solved the issue of pressure loss due to hose expansion.
• The aluminum pipe is given a mirror buff finish, and the cast pipe and core feature the HKS logo, which gives a fantastic dress-up look.
