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 26.5 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% to allow optimal cooling and airflow. Billet machined aluminum end tanks maximize efficiency while looking as smooth as they flow!  This intercooler utilizes factory mounting spots with our billet machined end tanks as well as all factory air ducts\/shrouds. To maintain consistency with most of our PRL product line, no cutting, fitting or trimming is required.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerformance Gains:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIncreased turbocharger spool\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e3 horsepower \u0026amp; 11 ft\/lb torque gains by simply bolting on\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMajor mid-range power gains\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e50+ F degree drop in post charge air temperature at peak\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAverage of 32 F degree drop in post charge air temperature\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIncreased efficiency \u0026amp; consistency in power delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIncreased engine safety\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKit Includes:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e(1) Intercooler Assembly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e(1) Cardboard Stencil w\/ “PRL” Logo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e(1) Cardboard Stencil w\/ 'R \"PRL\" Logo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e(2) Buna O-Ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTest Data:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/prlarmy.com\/Blog\/prl-motorsports-2017-civic-type-r-part-2-intercooler\/\"\u003eBLOG LINK\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntercooler Core Information:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/prlarmy.com\/Blog\/intercooler-fin-design\/\"\u003eBLOG LINK\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngineering the Future\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWith years of dedication and countless hours of development, PRL Motorsports has grown from a small team of three enthusiasts to a thriving company with over 25 highly skilled professionals.
