Description
The HKS R Type intercooler replaces the factory intercooler on the Honda Civic Type R FL5. This part number supplies the core-only configuration, rather than the complete core-and-piping package.
Design and operation
The 695 × 178 × 100 mm core is larger than the published factory dimensions of 639 × 158 × 64 mm. Frontal area increases by approximately 22.4%, while the greater depth provides an additional dimensional difference. Cast aluminum end tanks replace the factory resin tanks. The core is designed to work with factory intercooler piping.

Installation and selection
Core installation requires modification of the air guide inside the bumper and relocation of the outside-air temperature sensor. Modification of the bumper reinforcement is not required for the core installation. Lower charge-air temperature can help manage repeated-load thermal demands, but actual results depend on airflow, ambient conditions and the complete engine configuration.
