2016+ Honda Civic 1.5T Intercooler & Charge Pipe Combo Upgrade by PRL Motorsports
It’s no secret that Honda’s 1.5L turbo Civic is extremely susceptible to heat-soak, especially when retaining the factory intercooler. Excessive heat-soak increases the risk of detonation and causes major power-loss due to high charge air and cylinder temperatures. These issues become even more prevalent with spirited driving and/or increased power outputs.
The PRL Motorsports intercooler upgrade decreases charge air temperatures while increasing potential airflow with its dense 550+ horsepower rated (though we have pushed 600+) 25.6x4x6.3” bar-and-plate bar-and-plate core and machined billet aluminum end tanks!
Our upgraded charge pipe kit utilizes smooth flowing, larger inner diameter hot (1.50" factory compared to 2.00") and cold-side (1.5" factory compared to 2.5") for increased airflow and factory diameter hot-side outlet to aid in turbocharger spool. 4-ply silicone couplers are used throughout our design for a couple of reasons:
- Heat-soak reduction: Silicone hose offers extremely low thermal heat transfer properties, especially in comparison to steel or aluminum.
- Strength and rigidity: The rubber hoses used from the factory are known to experience expansion, which worsens as boost is increased. In time, the rubber construct weakens, causing increased likeliness of a boost leak. Also, we have managed to melt the factory rubber hose a handful of times during our track adventures on our shop car. Our high-temp, 4-ply silicone with handle the high temperatures of the turbocharger much better than the factory rubber hose(s).
- Smooth airflow: Custom molded silicone allows us to offer much higher flowing bends than we could with metal tubing.
- Optimal fitment: We have found that the factory rubbers hoses don't offer the most desirable fitment, especially when paired with an aftermarket radiator. Our silicone hose(s) offer even better fitment than factory.
Kits will come with all hardware needed for a seamless install.

Install process was a bit tedious considering you have to take the front bumper off. But over all I'm satisfied. The intercooler gives the front end of the car a nice look (prl provided a stencil for me) & it also keeps the cat from heat-soaking.
This is a definite improvement over stock there’s not even a question about that love the way it holds boost and the top end of each gear is drastically improved. Thank you MAPerformance!
My mechanics Said they had a Fun Time Installing it.
Everything fit Perfectly.
It takes some time to Work in with the System but after 2k Miles you really Feel the Difference
This is a great intercooler and is far superior to the stock one. Read the other reviews here for details...When I took my car in for service my mechanic (who I have known for 30+ years) was super impressed with the performance increase. My wife was even impressed with the smoother acceleration and the slight increase in horsepower. The only issue I have with it is the cheesy hose clamps.... come on PRL, I spent over $800 on your system and you give me $1.50 hose clamps to secure the piping? There are much better clamps out there that cost only $5, you would think that you could provide a quality hose fastening feature for the price I paid..... If you buy this you might want to just ditch the provided hose clamps and order some quality ones... I am concerned that I may have to re-tighten these hose clamps down the road in say 2-3 months as I don't think they will hold on the input side.... Other than that, MAP provided excellent service and delivery and I would buy from them again....
Purchase was easy. Other financing options were also available if needed. Received shipment within a week after purchase.
Highly recommend MAP performance for aftermarket purchases.
