Unlock the true potential of your Honda Civic Type R (FK8) with the HKS 13001-AH004 Intercooler Kit. This performance-engineered intercooler is a crucial upgrade for any FK8 owner seeking to maximize power, especially under demanding conditions like track driving or aggressive street use.
Why an Upgraded Intercooler?
The factory intercooler can become a significant bottleneck when pushing the FK8's turbocharged K20C1 engine. As boost pressure and engine RPM increase, the intake air temperature rises, leading to power loss due to heat soak. The HKS Intercooler directly addresses this by providing superior cooling efficiency.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Massive Cooling Capacity: Featuring an enlarged core size of 695mm x 178mm x 100mm, this intercooler offers a substantial increase in cooling surface area compared to the stock unit. This significantly reduces intake air temperatures, leading to consistent power delivery and reduced risk of heat-related power loss.
- Optimized Flow Design: The intercooler incorporates a carefully designed internal fin structure and tank shape to minimize pressure loss while maximizing cooling efficiency. This ensures that the turbocharger's boost is effectively utilized, translating into quicker throttle response and more usable power.
- Lightweight Construction: Despite its larger size, the HKS intercooler is engineered to be lightweight, minimizing any negative impact on the vehicle's front-end weight distribution.
- Durable & Reliable: Constructed from high-quality aluminium, this intercooler is built to withstand the rigors of high-performance driving and extreme temperatures, ensuring long-term durability and consistent performance.
- Direct Bolt-On Installation: The HKS 13001-AH004 intercooler is designed for a direct bolt-on fit, requiring no significant modifications to your FK8. This makes installation straightforward for experienced enthusiasts or professional workshops.
- Enhanced Performance Potential: By maintaining lower intake air temperatures, this intercooler allows your engine to produce more consistent and higher power outputs, especially beneficial during prolonged periods of aggressive driving. This helps prevent the ECU from pulling timing due to high IATs.
- Signature HKS Quality: You can trust that this intercooler kit is a high-quality product designed to perform under pressure.
