Product Description

The Mishimoto MMINT-CIV-16KSLWRD Intercooler Kit is a comprehensive performance upgrade engineered for 2016-2021 Honda Civic 1.5T models with the L15B7 turbo engine and 2017-2020 Civic Si turbo vehicles. This kit combines a high-capacity silver bar-and-plate intercooler core with wrinkle-red mandrel-bent aluminum piping to improve charge-air cooling, airflow, and boost stability over the stock setup. The core's significantly larger volume and increased fin surface area help reduce intake air temperatures and limit heat soak, enhancing consistency in power delivery during spirited driving or prolonged throttle use.

Included wrinkle-red mandrel-bent pipes replace the restrictive stock components with reinforced aluminum tubes and five-layer silicone couplers that resist heat, boost pressure, and engine movement. Designed for a direct-fit installation in the OEM intercooler location without cutting or trimming, this kit maintains stock mounting points and integrates seamlessly with the factory plumbing. Backed by Mishimoto's lifetime limited warranty, the MMINT-CIV-16KSLWRD is a strong choice for turbo Civic owners seeking a reliable, thermally efficient upgrade that also adds a customized visual accent under the hood.
