As many of you have seen, we began testing a potential drop-in turbocharger upgrade for the FK8 Honda Civic Type-R in July of 2019. We managed to produce 460+ horsepower and 430+ ft/lbs torque on stock engine and produced close to 500 horsepower with third party testing with our first prototype...
As some of you may have already seen, we recently leaked a few renderings of our Turbo Inlet Pipe Kit for the 2016+ Honda Civic 1.5T platform. Our team is ready to shine some insight in regards to what we’ve been up to, why we’ve “taken so long,” and why we’ve kept things under wraps.
Since the...
It’s time to let the cat out of the bag!
As many have noticed, our site has listed the 1.5T Civic intercooler & charge pipe upgrade kit out of stock over the past few weeks. What we haven’t released, though, is that our team has been working hard over the past few months to develop an...

We've kept this project under wraps over the past few weeks while we've been testing our prototype kit, but we are now proud to announce the release of our Plug 'N Play Flex Fuel Kit for the 2017+ Honda Civic FK8 Type-R. All components are here and ready to go aside from wiring harnesses, so...
The PRL Motorsports Turbocharger Inlet Crossover Pipe Kit is a direct bolt-on upgrade that eliminates airflow restriction before the turbocharger, allowing the turbocharger to operate more efficiently. Our design utilizes a cast aluminum inlet piece to allow smooth transition from the...
We've kept this under wraps long enough; our upgraded charge pipe kit for the FK8 Civic Type-R is in the final stages of development. This kit will fit all stock location intercoolers. Pricing and ETA will be released shortly, stay tuned for more info!
Upgraded charge pipe kit will feature...
As many of you may know, the factory fuel system has been a limiting factor for the 1.5T platform in terms of making big power, especially with ethanol. Though we managed to crack the 400 wheel horsepower a few months back with our GTX2867R GEN2 equipped 2017 Civic Si, the factory fuel system...
We couldn't keep the Type R owners waiting any longer! Here is a sneak peek of our high volume intake system we have been designing over the past several months. We designed this intake following suit with the rest of our product line, offering an upgraded intake with the largest possible intake...

“Oh look, another catch-can.” - This was a phrase that we told ourselves we never wanted to hear. Our team has been toying around with a variety of different ideas/concepts over the past couple of weeks until we finally decided upon a finalized design. :)

Our Plug 'N Play Flex Fuel Kit for the 2016+ Civic 1.5T is in the final stages of development, so here's a sneak peek.
This kit eliminates unnecessary fittings and potential leak-points by utilizing a custom 3/8" to 1/4" EFI billet adapter union to...
After seeing significant gains and popularity with our Stage 1 intake system for the 1.5T Civic platform we decided to offer a similar intake solution for the 2017 FK8 Civic Type-R. These intake kits will come standard with high flow 4-ply silicone hose (choice of color), drop-in high-flow...
So we've been working on some things lately for the 1.5L Turbo platform... Yes, this will fit both the Si and Non-Si chassis. :thumbsup:
Just in case anyone has missed it, we recently performed a Type-R turbo swap on our shop's Civic Si for R&D purposes with @KTuner and @VitViper. You can read...

Step 1:
To begin, remove the bumper and skid plate for easy access. Cut the pump plug from the...
We've kept our FK8 downpipe development under wraps for a few weeks because we tossed around a handful of different ideas. Today our renderings were 3D printed and passed a fitment test.
Precision investment casting allows us to utilize a non-restrictive CLR, or center-line radius to...
After taking our Type-R to the road course and drag strip it became even more obvious to us that these cars have some major temperature issues to be taken care of. We logged as much as a ~40 degree F temperature difference by the end of our 1/4 mile run! (pictures to come) :puke: For reference...

We saw gains from 4500 - 6900 RPM with our 3" front pipe and a max of 12 whp. There weren't any recordable torque gains, though it's interesting to note that the torque numbers seem to be a bit sporadic on these cars. This piece weighs a bit over 2 lbs less than the...
