PRL Motorsports Intercooler Upgrade | 2019+ Acura RDX 2.0T

2019+ Acura RDX 2.0T Intercooler Upgrade

Its no secret that Hondas newer turbo platforms are extremely susceptible to heat-soak, especially when retaining the factory intercooler. 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 25.5 x 3.0 x 9.75″ 550+ horsepower rated bar-and-plate core. Our intercooler core which increases internal flow by 83% to allow optimal cooling and airflow. This intercooler utilizes factory mounting spots with cast aluminum 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. Kits will come with all hardware needed for a seamless install.
