HKS Full Intercooler | Honda Civic Type FK8
The K20C engine, found in the Honda Civic Type R, is a powerhouse, achieving an impressive 320ps with its 2.0L displacement and boost pressure exceeding 150kPa. However, the stock intercooler faces challenges in keeping up with this level of performance, resulting in the engine intake air temperature soaring to nearly 90℃.
Enhanced Cooling Performance: That's where the HKS intercooler, specifically designed for the Honda Civic Type R, comes into play. It boasts a larger 100mm wide core, approximately 200% larger than the stock intercooler's core capacity. This substantial core size upgrade delivers an overwhelming improvement in cooling performance, ensuring that the Civic Type R's engine stays at the optimal temperature even during high-performance driving.
Optimized Airflow: In addition to its impressive core size, the HKS intercooler addresses another crucial aspect that affects performance. The stock intercooler's piping layout features sharp bends, which disrupt airflow and result in unnecessary boost pressure loss. HKS takes a different approach by seamlessly integrating the inlet side tank of the intercooler with the piping. This innovative design not only promotes smooth airflow but also significantly reduces air intake loss, ensuring that the Civic Type R receives the air it needs for peak performance.
Easy Installation: To unlock the full potential of the HKS intercooler in your Honda Civic Type R, you may need to make minor modifications to the fan shroud and rubber parts that come in contact with the core. These adjustments are well worth it, as they enable you to harness the incredible cooling capabilities of the HKS intercooler, allowing your Civic Type R to perform at its best.
In summary, the HKS intercooler is a game-changer for the Honda Civic Type R, offering superior cooling performance and efficient airflow management. With its larger core capacity and innovative design, it ensures that your Civic Type R operates at optimal temperatures, unlocking its full potential for power and performance on the road or track.
