HKS Intercooler Kit - 17-21 Civic Type R (FK8)

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℃. The 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. The HKS intercooler integrates the inlet side tank of the intercooler and pipe to realize a smooth air flow and reduce air intake loss.

The HKS Intercooler Piping Kit stabilizes and improves boost pressure and response by replacing the factory rubber intercooler hoses with aluminum pipes that are not prone to expansion or cracking. Replacing the rubber inlet & outlet hoses with aluminum hoses restrains its expansion to improve the throttle response and smoothly increase the boost pressure. Also, aluminum hoses can be securely connected even under a high pressure.
