    Important Notes:

    • No ECU calibration required
    • Current design retains factory intercooler bolts and hardware
    • Intercooler torque specification: 18 ft/lbs
    • OEM Honda Part Number 19710-5BF-A01

    Technical Notes:

    It is well known that Honda's turbo Civics are highly susceptible to heat soak, especially when retaining the factory intercooler. Excessive heat absorption increases the risk of detonation and causes significant power loss due to high intake air and cylinder temperatures. These issues become even more prevalent with spirited driving or increased power output. The PRL Motorsports Intercooler Upgrade lowers intake temperatures while increasing potential air flow with a high-density 26.5" x 3.5" x 7.25" bar-and-plate core rated for 550+ horsepower. Our intercooler core increases surface area by 85% and internal flow by 83%, allowing for optimal cooling and air flow. The billet aluminum end tanks maximize efficiency while maintaining a smooth, flowing appearance! This intercooler utilizes the factory mounting points with our billet machined end tanks and all factory air ducts/shrouds, requiring no cutting, drilling, or trimming to maintain consistency with most of the PRL product line.


    Performance Improvements:

    • Increased turbocharger spool
    • 3 HP & 11 ft/lbs torque increase just by bolting it on
    • Significant mid-range power gains
    • Post-charge air temperatures reduced by 50+ degrees F at peak
    • Post-charge air temperatures reduced by 32 degrees on average
    • Increased efficiency and consistent power delivery
    • Improved engine safety

    Kit Contents:

    • (1) Intercooler Assembly
    • (1) Cardboard stencil with "PRL" logo
    • (2) BUNA O-rings

      Before Placing an Order

      Regarding Import Consumption Tax
      At Shaftoya Shopping Site, we pay the import consumption tax incurred at the time of import on your behalf, so there will be no additional charges beyond the total amount paid at checkout.

      Confirmation of Compatibility
      Our product database is based on North American vehicles (USDM), so please check the compatibility with your Japanese vehicle (JDM) before ordering. (If you are unsure if the listed product fits your vehicle, please feel free to contact us. Our support team will check for you.)
      If you order without confirming compatibility, we cannot accept returns due to incompatibility.
      Please note that even if a product is sorted by selecting the year, make, and model on our homepage tabs, it does not necessarily mean it will fit the Japanese model vehicle without modification.
      All products have been translated into Japanese using translation software. As there may be confusing expressions, please contact us before ordering if you have any questions.

      Regarding Shipping
      Shipping costs are paid at the time of payment. Estimates for shipping costs are calculated automatically when you enter your shipping address on the checkout page. For large items such as body parts, the actual shipping cost may occasionally differ significantly from the automatically calculated amount. In such cases, we will contact you individually via email.

      All products are generally shipped internationally from our US warehouse. Unlike domestic shipping in Japan, international shipping takes about 7 to 14 days, so please allow plenty of time for your order. If you are in a hurry, please contact us in advance to confirm the delivery date. Note that all products are transported by air; they are not shipped by sea.

      Regarding Japanese Vehicle Inspection (Shaken) Compatibility
      The products we handle are generally designed and manufactured outside of Japan. Please note that they are not compliant with the "Japanese Vehicle Inspection System," and we cannot provide strength calculation documents or similar paperwork for the Japanese inspection system. Therefore, all parts are sold for the purpose of "use on circuits, private property, or off-road," and installation and use are at your own risk.

      Regarding Warranty
      Please check the contents immediately upon arrival. As all products are shipped internationally from outside Japan, there may be delivery damage to the packaging or the product. We will only handle returns, refunds, or replacements for products with delivery damage, defective products, or incorrect items if you contact us within 7 days of receipt. Please understand that for products sold through us, warranty support will be provided "only through us." We do not provide support through other companies or distributors located within Japan.
