More Power, Same Quick Response
When we released our Drop-In Turbocharger Upgrade for the 11th Gen Civic 1.5T earlier this year, the response was immediate. Drivers loved the combination of stock-like spool characteristics, increased airflow, and straightforward installation.
But we knew one thing: the 11th Gen wasn't the only platform deserving of that attention.
The 10th Gen Civic helped establish the 1.5T as one of Honda's most popular modern turbocharged platforms, and it continues to have a strong community of drivers looking for reliable ways to push their cars further.
That's why we're excited to introduce the PRL 4847RS Drop-In Turbocharger Upgrade for the 2016-2021 Honda Civic 1.5T.
Built Around Response
The "RS" in 4847RS stands for Rapid Spool, and that goal guided the development of this turbocharger from the beginning.
Anyone can build a turbo that makes power. The challenge is creating one that preserves the responsiveness and drivability that make the Civic 1.5T so enjoyable in the first place.
The PRL 4847RS was engineered to spool similarly to the factory turbocharger while supporting significantly greater airflow and power potential. The result is a turbo that feels responsive around town, reacts quickly to throttle input, and continues pulling harder as boost and airflow demands increase. For many drivers, that's the sweet spot.
Premium Components Throughout
Developing a turbocharger isn't just about wheel sizing. Material selection, bearing design, and component durability all play a major role in long-term performance and reliability.
The PRL 4847RS features:
- 48.32mm compressor inducer
- 60mm compressor exducer with 62.19mm extended tip diameter
- 41.5mm turbine inducer
- 47mm turbine exducer
- 7075 point-milled compressor wheel
- Inconel 713C turbine wheel
- 42CrMo shaft
- Si3N4 ceramic bearing system
- Inconel wastegate arm
These components were selected to deliver the responsiveness, durability, and the performance you expect from PRL.
A True Drop-In Upgrade
One of the biggest advantages of the 4847RS is its simplicity.
This turbocharger was designed as a direct replacement for the factory unit, allowing for straightforward installation without vehicle modifications. That means less time spent fabricating or adapting parts and more time enjoying the benefits of a more capable turbocharger.
Every kit includes:
- PRL 2016-2021 Honda Civic 1.5T Turbocharger
- PRL Turbo Support Bracket
- PRL Turbo Gasket Kit
Everything needed to support a proper installation is included right in the box.
Showing Some Love to the 10th Gen Community
The 10th Gen Civic platform continues to prove just how capable it is, and we wanted to ensure owners had access to the same level of turbocharger development we've recently brought to newer Honda platforms. The PRL 4847RS delivers the balance many drivers are searching for: quick response, increased capability, direct fitment, and long-term reliability.
Whether you're building a daily driver or a weekend project, performance journey, this turbo is ready to help your Civic make the most of every pound of boost.
