This upgrade kit is a perfect fit for all 2016 - 2021 Civic 1.5T models, including Si, CVT 6MT, RHD, and international variants. No ECU calibration is required. It only fits the PRL Motorsports Intercooler Upgrade, and the V1 (CAST END TANK) intercooler doesn't need an adapter. Email support@prlmotorsports if you pair it with the original V1 intercooler. Our upgraded charge pipe kit features smooth - flowing, larger inner - diameter hot (2.00' compared to 1.50' factory) and cold - side (2.5' compared to 1.5' factory) pipes for better airflow. It has a factory - diameter hot - side outlet to help the turbocharger spool. We use 4 - ply silicone couplers for several reasons: heat - soak reduction, strength and rigidity, smooth airflow, and optimal fitment. The kit comes with all necessary hardware for an easy install. It offers increased efficiency and consistency in power delivery and more flow than the stock charge pipe. The kit includes a hot - side charge pipe, a cold - side charge pipe with methanol injection bung and machined billet aluminum flange, a - 4AN O - Ring to 1/4' hose barb, a 1/8” NPT pipe plug, a mounting bracket for the cold - side charge pipe, four 4 - ply silicone couplers, eight 304 stainless steel worm clamps, and two charge pipe adapters.
Using this intercooler charge pipe upgrade kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is a 2016 - 2021 Honda Civic 1.5T. You don't need to calibrate the ECU, but remember it only works with the PRL Motorsports Intercooler Upgrade. If you have the V1 (CAST END TANK) intercooler, you won't need an adapter. Just gather all the parts in the kit, which includes the hot - side and cold - side charge pipes, couplers, clamps, and adapters. Follow the included hardware instructions for a seamless installation. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the silicone couplers. They are designed to handle high temperatures, but over time, check for any signs of wear. If you notice any issues like a boost leak, which might be indicated by a loss of power, contact our support team at support@prlmotorsports. Enjoy the increased power and efficiency this kit brings to your Civic!
