Keep the charged air temperatures down in your turbocharged Civic with the Performance Intercooler from Mishimoto compatible with your 2016-2021 Honda Civic! In the age of the turbocharger, Honda has finally joined the ranks of forced induction with equipping the L15B7 in their tenth generation of the Civic. Where the Earth Dreams technology might be advanced, it still suffers from an age-old enemy – heat. The stock intercooler utilizes a tube-and-fin construction coupled with plastic end tanks, giving high temperatures a perfect breeding ground. Our intercooler is designed with the Honda enthusiast in mind, and to evict high charged air temperatures that set up shop in the stock intercooler. The all-aluminum, bar-and-plate construction is specifically designed to shrug off heat generated from compressing air into the intake manifold. Our intercooler also has increased volume by 102% and fin surface area by 97%, which helps drop outlet air temperatures by 20°F over the stock intercooler, and up to 42°F once a performance tune is added. The benefits of our upgraded design don’t stop with the temperature drop. Our direct fit intercooler adds up to 4 whp and 8 ft-lbs of torque when combined with the Performance Intercooler Piping, with the potential to boost that power gain to 11 whp and 9 ft-lbs of torque with a tune. The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler is available in Silver or Black and includes the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.

Durable, Lightweight Construction
Built for performance and longevity, the MMINT-CIV-16BK intercooler core and end tanks are constructed from high-grade aluminum and TIG-welded for maximum durability. The sleek black powder-coated finish not only looks great behind the Civic’s grille but also provides additional protection against corrosion and debris.
This intercooler is engineered to handle high boost levels, making it ideal for both factory and high-performance turbo setups.
Direct-Fit Installation — No Cutting Required
Mishimoto designed this intercooler to be a true bolt-on upgrade for the 2016+ Honda Civic Si. It fits perfectly with factory charge pipes and mounting locations, so installation is straightforward — no cutting, trimming, or special fabrication required.
It’s compatible with both Si Coupe and Sedan models, and installation typically takes only a few hours with basic tools.
Improved Turbo Efficiency and Driveability
By reducing intake temperatures, the MMINT-CIV-16BK allows your turbo to work more efficiently, resulting in:
-
⚡ Faster spool-up and reduced turbo lag
-
🧊 Consistent performance during back-to-back runs
-
🔧 Lower stress on the turbocharger

For tuned Civics, these gains become even more noticeable — improving both peak power and the consistency of power delivery.
Perfect for Stock or Tuned Setups

If you’re running a Hondata or KTuner setup, this intercooler ensures your Si stays cool, consistent, and powerful — even on hot track days.
