Please allow an additional two weeks for powdercoated intercoolers to be processed and shipped.

This intercooler fits all 2018+ Accord 2.0T & 1.5T models. It also fits 2019 - 2020 Acura RDX 2.0T with minor modification and 2021+ RDX 2.0T and 2021+ TLX 2.0T with minor modification, but an intercooler install kit is required for the 2021+ models. It suits all variant models including 10AT, 6MT, RHD, and international models.

Overview

Intercooler Install Guide

Important Notes:

• No ECU calibration is needed.
• The intercooler torque spec is 18 ft/lb.
• The OEM Honda part number is 19710 - 6A0 - A11 or 19710 - 6A0 - A01.

Technical Notes:

Honda's newer turbo platforms are very prone to heat - soak, especially with the factory intercooler. Excessive heat - soak raises the risk of detonation and causes major power loss due to high charge air and cylinder temperatures. These problems are more obvious during spirited driving or with increased power outputs. The PRL Motorsports intercooler upgrade reduces charge air temperatures and boosts potential airflow with its dense 27 x 3.5 x 7.25' 550+ horsepower rated bar - and - plate core. Our intercooler core increases surface area by 85% and internal flow by 83% for optimal cooling and airflow. It uses factory mounting spots with cast aluminum end tanks and all factory air ducts/shrouds. No cutting, fitting, or trimming is required to maintain consistency with most of our PRL product line. Kits come with all the hardware for a seamless install.

Performance Gains:

• Mid - range and top - end power gains
• A significant drop in post - charge air temperature at peak
• Increased efficiency and consistency in power delivery
• Enhanced engine safety

Kit Includes:

• (1) Intercooler Assembly
• (1) Cardboard Stencil w/ “PRL” Logo
• (1) Buna O - Ring
• (1) 304 Stainless Worm Clamp

Using this intercooler is straightforward. First, make sure to check if your vehicle model is compatible. If you have a 2021+ RDX 2.0T or 2021+ TLX 2.0T, you'll need to use the intercooler install kit. When installing, there's no need for ECU calibration, and remember to torque the intercooler to 18 ft/lb. The kit comes with all the necessary hardware, so you can easily install it using the factory mounting spots. You won't have to do any cutting, fitting, or trimming. After installation, you'll notice mid - range and top - end power gains, a big drop in post - charge air temperature at peak, and more consistent power delivery. This also enhances engine safety. As for maintenance, it's a good idea to periodically check the intercooler for any signs of damage or blockage.
