R TYPE INTERCOOLER & PIPING KIT for CIVIC TYPE-R FL5
■ Features
Intercooler
- The core area has been increased by 22.4% compared to the original, expanding the area exposed to the wind while driving and improving cooling performance.
- By increasing the core capacity, it can handle everything from boost up to turbo replacement.
- This layout allows installation even with genuine piping.
Piping Kit
- Compared to the stock piping, the pipe diameter is enlarged and the shape is smoother, making it possible to handle high output.
- By replacing the genuine hose with an aluminum pipe, expansion is suppressed and pressure loss caused by the expansion of the hose inside the intake pipe is eliminated.
- The bent pipe is mirror-finished with a buffed finish, and the cast pipe core features the HKS logo, which adds a touch of style to your car.
