HKS created an intercooler core to improve the Honda Civic Type R stock intercooler. The stock intercooler’s capacity is not sufficient and the engine intake air temperature rises to nearly 90 degrees celsius / 194 degrees fahrenheit. HKS increased the capacity by roughly 200% to significantly improve the cooling performance. The stock intercooler layout has a sharp bend so the intake air does not flow smoothly and causes the boost pressure loss. The HKS intercooler integrates the inlet side tank of the intercooler and pipe to realize a smooth air flow and reduce air intake loss.
