Mishimoto Performance Aluminum Intercooler — Honda Civic Type R FK8
CARB EO D-759-12 — covers 2017–2021, verified 2026-08-05
The FK8's factory intercooler is fine for stock duty. Pile on a tune, add a few summer track days, or just drive it hard on a hot afternoon and the temps climb. Mishimoto's direct-fit aluminum unit replaces the OEM core with a thicker, denser one that doesn't heat-soak the same way. Bolts to the factory mounting points — no cutting, no brackets, no fab work. If you've ever watched your boost taper off in second gear on a hot lap, this is the part you're looking at. A thicker core with more surface area holds onto heat the stock unit passes straight through to the intake charge, which is what keeps intake air temperatures from climbing across a session. Daily-driven cars in California, Texas, or Arizona run into the same wall — you can pretend the stock cooler is fine until July tells you otherwise. Direct OEM-replacement fit for 2017–2021 Civic Type R (FK8). Precision-welded aluminum construction with cast end tanks. Lifetime warranty against manufacturer defect. Box includes the intercooler, OE-style mounting hardware, and silicone couplers. CARB EO D-759-12 (covers the Mishimoto MMINT-CTR-17K intercooler series for the 2017–2021 Civic Type R 2.0L; verified 2026-08-05).

Return policy
Don't love your new purchase?
We'll take it back, no hassle.
To be eligible for a return, the item must be in the same condition you received it: unused, uninstalled, with all hardware, tags, and original packaging intact. Parts with install marks, cut wires, scratched hardware, or missing components are not eligible.
To start a return, contact us at support@kodoautomotive.shop with your order ID, the part name, and the reason. We reply within 1–2 business days with an RMA number and the return address. Don't ship parts back without an RMA — unauthorized returns get refused at the warehouse.
If the return is accepted, we'll inspect the item on arrival and issue your refund to the original payment method within 5–10 business days.
If we shipped the wrong part or it arrived defective, we cover return shipping and refund in full — no fees, ever. If it's a change of mind, you cover return shipping and a 15% restocking fee (waived if you take store credit or an exchange), and we refund the part price minus that fee and the original outbound shipping cost.
Return shipping: You're responsible for paying your own shipping cost to return the item. Original outbound shipping is non-refundable. If the item value is over $75, we strongly recommend a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance — we can't guarantee that we will receive your returned item.
International / overseas returns: International orders are not eligible for refund due to increased international shipping fees and customs reimport complications. Exchanges and warranty claims are still honored. Reach out and we'll work something out.
