Mishimoto MMINT-CTR-23KBKBK Performance Intercooler Kit Black Core Black Pipes

The Mishimoto MMINT-CTR-23KBKBK is a complete bolt-on performance intercooler kit engineered specifically for the 2023+ Honda Civic Type R (FL5 platform). Designed to eliminate heat soak and maximize power output from the turbocharged K20C1 engine, this kit delivers measurable gains of up to 10 horsepower and 9 lb-ft of torque while supporting builds up to 600 HP.

At the heart of the kit is a bar-and-plate aluminum intercooler core finished in black, featuring a 140% larger core volume compared to the factory unit. Combined with cast aluminum end tanks optimized for high-flow performance, the system drives peak intake air temperature reductions of up to 57°F over stock — keeping your engine performing consistently on track and during spirited street driving.

Key Features:

• 140% Larger Core Volume — Dramatically increased heat exchanger capacity over the restrictive OEM intercooler
• Cast Aluminum End Tanks — Optimized internal flow paths reduce pressure drop and eliminate bottlenecks
• CNC Mandrel-Bent Aluminum Piping — Increased pipe diameters and smooth bends improve airflow and support higher boost levels; finished in black powder coat
• Up to 57°F Intake Temperature Drop — Maintains power and reliability during repeated heat-soak sessions
• Direct Bolt-On Fit — Uses factory mounting points with no cutting, welding, or permanent modifications required
• Compatible with Stock Ducting — Works seamlessly with OEM airflow ducting and most aftermarket intake systems
• Black Core / Black Pipes Finish — Aggressive, blacked-out appearance for a clean engine bay look
• Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty — Backed by Mishimoto's industry-leading warranty for long-term peace of mind

The kit includes all necessary pipes, couplers, clamps, and hardware for a complete installation. Note: Recommended torque for all t-bolt and constant tension t-bolt clamps is 27 in-lbs (3 N·m); do not exceed 35 in-lbs (4 N·m). Installation typically takes 2–3 hours with basic hand tools. Professional installation is recommended for optimal fitment and warranty coverage.
