Excessive heat-soak increases the risk of detonation and causes major power-loss due to high charge air and cylinder temperatures. These issues become even more prevalent with spirited driving and\/or increased power outputs. The PRL Motorsports intercooler upgrade decreases charge air temperatures while increasing potential airflow with its dense 28.35 x 4.3 x 7.25\" 600+ horsepower rated bar-and-plate core. Our intercooler core increases surface area by 31% and internal flow to allow optimal cooling and airflow. Billet machined aluminum end tanks maximize efficiency while looking as smooth as they flow! This intercooler utilizes factory mounting spots with our billet machined end tanks as well as all factory air ducts\/shrouds. We extended the intercooler fins to take up the entire width of the front bumper's opening to increase allow for adequate cooling to\/through the intercooler into the radiator. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNO ECU CALIBRATION REQUIRED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCURRENT DESIGN RETAINS FACTORY INTERCOOLER BOLTS \u0026amp; HARDWARE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eINTERCOOLER TORQUE SPEC: 18 ft\/lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Honda Part Number 19710-66V-A01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance Gains:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMajor mid-range power gains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased efficiency \u0026amp; consistency in power delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased engine safety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKit Includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Intercooler Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Cardboard Stencil w\/ “PRL” Logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Fitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2023+ Honda Civic Type-R FL5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Test Data:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prlmotorsports.com\/blogs\/news\/a-first-look-at-our-2023-honda-civic-type-r-fl5-intercooler-upgrade\" title=\"A First Look at Our 2023+ Honda Civic Type-R FL5 Intercooler Upgrade\"\u003eBLOG LINK\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prlmotorsports.com\/blogs\/news\/2023-honda-civic-type-r-fl5-intercooler-upgrade-testing-data\" title=\"2023+ Honda Civic Type-R FL5 Intercooler Upgrade Testing Data\"\u003eBLOG LINK\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you plan to utilize the provided stencil to represent PRL on your intercooler:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean and make sure your intercooler is dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace the cardboard stencil onto the front of the intercooler (Make sure the intercooler is not upside down, the PRL logo is on the driver's side end tank).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is recommended to tape down the stencil to have a sharp logo and to avoid moving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMask off or cover the end tanks to avoid overspray.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a high temp engine enamel style spray paint (we recommend Duplicolor DE1635 Ford SemiGloss Black, any color can be used).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple coats may be needed to have full coverage, this varies per color.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow to dry 30-60 minutes before installing the intercooler.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf any mistakes are made such as runs\/overspray acetone or paint thinner can be used to remove any unwanted paint or to remove the stencil entirely, though this will take some time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep the stencil handy and in a safe spot without bending if you would like to refresh your intercooler after years of road debris blasting it!
