Product Description

The HKS 13001-AH005 R-Type Intercooler Kit Core is a high-performance front-mount intercooler upgrade engineered specifically for the 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R (FK8) equipped with the K20C 2.0 L turbo engine. Compared to the stock unit, this intercooler core offers a significantly larger core volume - approximately twice the capacity - leading to greater cooling efficiency, which helps lower intake air temperatures under heavy boost and spirited driving conditions.

Featuring optimized airflow design and integrated inlet/outlet tanks, this intercooler improves airflow and reduces boost pressure loss that typically occurs with the OEM cooler's sharper piping bends. Installation requires only minor trimming of the fan shroud or adjacent rubber parts, but additional piping or support kits may be necessary depending on your existing setup. This core is ideal for drivers seeking better thermal management and more consistent performance on street or track use.
