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.
Features
- Newly designed 100mm wide core is approximately 200% of the stock in the core capacity. This large core shows overwhelming cooling performance difference.
- HKS Core Size：695mm x 178mm x 100mm
- Stock Core Size：680mm x 143mm x 64mm
- Minor modification of the fan shroud and rubber part that comes in contact with the core is required
- Factory rubber hoses are replaced with aluminum pipes and silicone joint hoses, and they are secured with reinforced hose bands
- HKS original casting inlet pipe allows smooth layout
- Required Installation Time: 4 hrs. Removal of under panel is required.
Note: NOT CARB Legal - This product is not currently CARB exempt and is not available for purchase in California & CARB States or for use on any vehicle registered with the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
