HONDA CTR FL5 / ACURA Type S DE5 Billet Upgrade Intercooler

MDR is pleased to announce their Billet Intercooler Upgrade for the 2023+ Honda Civic Type-R FL5. This intercooler is made in the USA, with machined Billet 6061-T6 aluminum end tanks and a industry leading huge 5.50” core to replace the factory’s plastic end tanks and tiny 2.5” core.

Throughout the testing period, MDR calculated heat transfers for different types of fins, with different fin heights, and fin densities to determine the best combination internal and external fin to achieve the highest heat transfer effectiveness, with the lowest pressure drop. They then designed the core with the most effective fin combinations, which in this case was the bar and plate aluminum core design.

The bar and plate core allows the utilization of the entire envelope space, without larger than core sized end plates as compared to the factory tube and fin. Bar and plate cores are designed to withstand high pressure and high vibration applications. Braze sheets seal the entire row as compared to the 0.125” wide sealing surface of the end plate to the extruded tube on tube and fin cores.

• Billet 6061-T6 aluminum machined end tanks
