I spent the past weekend doing the below installs on my 25 Si:
27won Intercooler
PRL HVI intake
PRL clutch line
27won BBK (originally on my 20 si)
For the most part things went pretty smoothly. On the intercooler there were a few minor discrepancies in the instructions for removing the bumper and assorted shrouds probably due to the 25 redesign, but not a big deal. The 27won hose clamps are kind of a PIA to deal with so I reused a couple of OEM ones in hard to reach spaces, other than that it was straight forward per the instructions. Everything is back together and it holds boost just fine.
For some reason the plastic tabs included in the HVI kit that connect the intake to the top of the bumper are undersized and feel like they will pop out with little force. This might be a 25 difference? I put some duct tape over them to hold and I will probably try to find some aftermarket tabs for a better fit.
The BBK was once on my 20 si when it got totaled. I took the kit off before insurance towed it away anticipating I'd sell it or reuse it. I contacted 27won about the 10th gen kit fitting the 11th gen civic and at first I was told that everything is the same except for the bracket. When I asked if I could just purchase the bracket for the 11th gen, I was told actually they talked to the designer and the 10th gen kit is a direct fit on the 11th gen. Sure enough, this weekend I proved it was a direct bolt on. The only difference is the 11th gen brake dust shield is slightly less onerous so it required less bending to make the rotor fit.
Anyways, if anyone is doing any of the above projects on a 25 in the future feel free to drop me a message if you have any questions.
