Product Description

The Mishimoto MMINT-CIV-16KBKWRD Intercooler Kit is a direct-fit performance upgrade designed for 2016-2021 Honda Civic models equipped with the 1.5 L L15B7 turbo engine, including the 2017-2020 Civic Si. This comprehensive kit combines an all-aluminum bar-and-plate intercooler core with mandrel-bent intercooler piping finished in standout red to improve both performance and engine bay aesthetics. The intercooler core is more than 100 % larger in volume with nearly double the fin surface area compared to the stock unit, producing significantly lower outlet air temperatures and helping reduce heat soak for more consistent power delivery.

This kit also replaces the stock plastic and rubber piping with mandrel-bent aluminum tubes and 5-layer, fiber-embedded silicone couplers, increasing piping size by ~30 % for smoother airflow and reduced pressure drop. Installation fits into the OEM intercooler location without cutting or modification, and the design maintains compatibility with stock components while supporting potential tuning gains of up to ~11 hp and ~9 ft-lbs of torque when paired with ECU and intake upgrades. Backed by Mishimoto's lifetime limited warranty, this intercooler kit is ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved thermal performance and boost stability on both stock and modified turbocharged Civic applications.
