HKS Intercooler Kit for 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R (FK8)
Unlock the full potential of your 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R (FK8) with the HKS Intercooler Kit—a precision-engineered upgrade designed to dramatically improve cooling efficiency, reduce intake air temperatures, and enhance overall performance. The K20C1 engine produces an impressive 320 horsepower from just 2.0 liters of displacement, but the factory intercooler struggles to keep up, with intake air temperatures often soaring past 90°C under boost. HKS developed this intercooler through years of R&D to deliver unmatched cooling capability for the world’s fastest front-wheel-drive platform.
At the heart of the HKS kit is a newly developed 100mm-wide core—roughly double the volume of the factory unit. Measuring 695mm x 178mm x 100mm (compared to the stock 680mm x 143mm x 64mm core), the HKS core ensures significantly lower charge air temperatures and more consistent power delivery during spirited driving or track sessions. The redesigned aluminum side tanks and smooth piping replace the restrictive OEM plastic units, improving airflow and reducing boost pressure loss. The result is a proven gain of up to 11 horsepower and 6 lb-ft of torque over stock, even at factory boost levels.
Installation is straightforward, requiring only minor trimming of a rubber piece and slight modification to the fan shroud where it contacts the new core. Once installed, the HKS Intercooler not only boosts performance but also enhances reliability by preventing heat soak and ensuring consistent turbo efficiency. This intercooler is the perfect blend of engineering precision, race-proven design, and OEM-quality fitment—an essential upgrade for any FK8 enthusiast pushing their Civic Type R to the limit.
