PRL Motorsports Civic Type R Billet Front Mount Intercooler!

Called them today... Won't be getting mine until April. I contemplated cancelling but my car is garaged now anyways... and to be honest I'm not sure anyone is going to make one as good of quality as this? Most are cast end caps.... and the Full-Race is massive and doesn't appear to mate to the stock piping at all. Long story short I can hold out for this one. Two months seems like a long wait though!

Glad I didn’t order mine two weeks ago. I’ll wait for mishimoto.

It's worth the wait from what I see. My car is apart, and I am trying to get everything so I can put it together.

please provide an update.

No real update as of now. Have the car parked in the garage, bumper is still off, just hung the intercooler on there. Working on it tomorrow. Fully installing the oil cooler and the intercooler. Going to tighten all the intercooler tubes back on. Should be able to put the bumper back on. I wouldn't THINK that the bumper needs to be off to install the Eventuri intake, when it comes in. I bought a multi gauge to connect up sensors to the oil pressure, oil temp, intercooler temp, Exhaust gasses, and the coolant temp. Still waiting to arrive:
Intake - 5 APR
Downpipe - 21 FEB
Frontpipe - 21 FEB
Exhaust - 5 MAR
Multi Gauge - 8 FEB
Tune - ???
High flow grill - 21 FEB

This really is a nice piece! As a half ass machinist I really appreciate the quality of those end tanks. Super nice! I can't wait to see it on the car and keep my power in tact. Last time on the dyno I made 3 pulls, 292, 280, and then 250 hp. This intercooler is neccesary.

I'm curious with which one he went with as well as you have a couple different options.

After seeing more pics I really am sold on keeping my order and waiting until April.... like I said before, I don't think anyone is going to make an intercooler of this quality. Thanks for sharing pics and thoughts on the install everyone! Think I may order their front pipe in a few days as well.

You’ll be very happy you decided to wait it out and stick with Prl. Quality is magnificent!

Thanks for being so understanding, we promise it's worth the wait! To be honest we didn't anticipate selling so many so fast. We were already halfway sold out of our second batch of intercoolers until yesterday, so we called and added another 100 intercooler cores to our order. Due to this being a new project and custom core size/spec, keeping up with demand has been difficult for us. However, we are hoping to never experience or at least minimize back-orders from here on out with this large second batch. Our 5-axis CNC will be running non-stop for quite sometime to keep up with production . We thank all of you for your support and understanding. Each Intercooler takes our machine about 4.5 hours total of machine time (per set) !

Just got a nice phone call from Dennis at PRL. I was one of the first 4 people to get in on the pre order and my intercooler is on the way

I appreciate the customer service Dennis!

Cant wait!

Have any of you guys got this mounted up yet? Curious to see some more install pics to keep me calm until mine ships. Did PRL include an install guide?

My hardware and spacers should come in today but I won't have time to install it for a while. Idk if it'll be this weekend

The last of the intercoolers have shipped out as of today! We ended up selling quite a few more intercoolers than originally anticipated. With that being said, our next batch of intercoolers are expected to ship towards the beginning of April. We are offering a reduced 15% sale for all orders until these are back in stock and shipping. Thanks for all the support and patience!

I got mine today! Thanks PRL. The product is fantastic! Looking forward to hearing about your downpipe
