Mishimoto MMINT-CTR-23KBKRD Performance Intercooler Kit Black Core with Red Pipes

The Mishimoto MMINT-CTR-23KBKRD is a complete bolt-on performance intercooler kit engineered specifically for the 2023+ Honda Civic Type R FL5 platform. Featuring a black anodized intercooler core paired with red powder-coated aluminum pipes, this kit delivers serious thermal management gains while adding an aggressive, purposeful look under the hood.

Designed to overcome the heat-soak limitations of the restrictive factory intercooling system, this kit supports builds up to 600 HP and reduces peak intake air temperatures by up to 57°F compared to stock—keeping the K20C1 turbocharged engine producing consistent power lap after lap. The core volume is 140% larger than OEM, dramatically increasing heat exchanger capacity without sacrificing fitment.

Key Features:

• 140% Larger Core Volume — Massively increased heat exchanger surface area eliminates heat soak under sustained high-performance driving
• Cast Aluminum End Tanks — Optimized internal flow paths reduce pressure drop and improve charged air delivery to the engine
• Mandrel-Bent Aluminum Piping — Increased pipe diameters support high-boost applications while smooth bends minimize airflow restriction
• Red Powder-Coated Pipes — Durable finish resists corrosion and heat cycling for long-term reliability
• Up to 57°F Intake Temperature Reduction — Proven dyno-tested gains of up to 10 HP and 9 lb-ft of torque over stock
• Supports Builds Up to 600 HP — Future-proof design is compatible with tuned and modified K20C1 setups
• No Cutting Required — Works seamlessly with factory ducting and uses OEM mounting points for a clean, reversible installation
• Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty — Backed by Mishimoto's industry-leading warranty for long-term peace of mind
