Keep the charged air temperatures down in your turbocharged Civic with the Performance Intercooler compatible with your 2016-2021 Honda Civic from Mishimoto! 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 Mishimoto 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.

Up to 60% Increase in Core Volume and 50% Lower Intake Temps
Compared to the stock intercooler, Mishimoto’s high-efficiency bar-and-plate core offers a 60% increase in core volume and major surface area gains, allowing it to pull heat out of the intake charge more effectively.
Real-world testing shows IAT reductions of up to 50°F, translating into more consistent horsepower and torque — especially during back-to-back pulls or track days where heat soak kills performance.
Durable All-Aluminum Construction with Race-Red Finish
Built from 100% TIG-welded aluminum, this intercooler can handle the demands of tuned Civics running higher boost pressures. The bar-and-plate core design ensures exceptional durability and efficient cooling, while the Race Red powder-coated finish adds a bold visual upgrade to your engine bay and grille.
The end tanks are engineered for smooth internal flow, minimizing turbulence and pressure drop — key to maximizing turbo efficiency.
