Where is the Civic's intercooler located?

[HectorRose]

The intercooler is generally located at the lower front of the vehicle. This component is used to cool the air. Hazards of not having an intercooler: Only turbocharged engines have intercoolers. Turbocharged engines compress air, which is equivalent to doing work on the air, thereby increasing the air temperature. If the intake air temperature is too high, it can lead to a decrease in oxygen content in the air, which affects engine performance. Excessively high intake air temperatures can also cause engine knocking. Efficiency of different intercoolers: Some turbocharged vehicles use water-cooled intercoolers, which have higher cooling efficiency; air-cooled intercoolers have very low cooling efficiency during traffic congestion.
