In past years we have specialized in inclusive turbocharger kits for a variety of reasons, mainly due to the fact small-frame turbochargers limit extreme peak-power goals for the ultimate record-hungry enthusiast. However, with more manufacturers normalizing low-revving, small displacement, direct-injection engines with integrated exhaust manifolds, these once feasible goals are becoming increasingly harder to reach. Instead, we will be using all of the data and experience we've learned over the years and shifting focus towards a drop-in upgrade in an effort to develop a turbo that appeals to the masses. Yes, we will be using our experiences with the P600 and other drop-ins as a starting point. Yes, we understand longevity and reliability is critical. Yes, developing a high-power capable turbocharger is still at heart - we are a performance company after all

This kit replaces the corrugated factory inlet hose with our better looking, smoother flowing 4-ply silicone hose. The pleats found in the factory hose disrupts air flow, which limits power potential and throttle response. This hose will be available by itself (with clamps and hardware as a kit), or available with our air filter as a full Stage 1 Intake System. Stay tuned for more updates to come!

This intake system for the 10th Gen Civic 2.0L will utilize the factory air duct to allow maximum airflow to the air box and filter. The High Volume air box will be constructed of rotomolded HDPE to help keep intake air temperatures low and for optimal fitment. We are currently looking into a new MAF housing and air box lid connection in an effort to streamline installation while still maintaining the the fuel trims, drivability and performance PRL Motorsports is known for. Stay tuned for updates!

We wanted to develop an intercooler upgrade that provides significant gains in terms of internal airflow volume and cooling without hindering turbocharger spool. After many weeks calculating a desired core size, optimal end tank fitment, all while avoiding CNC tooling constraints, we're finally able to order up a few custom cores for prototype sample testing.

Our kit will utilize a 3" OD cold side hard pipe with integrated methanol injection bung to replace the factory ~2.4" ID rubber hose to increase airflow and engine bay aesthetics. The kit will come standard with a factory diameter hot-side hose upgrade to maintain velocity and turbocharger spool. All supplied hoses are constructed of multi-ply high temperature silicone to increase durability and are "stepped" to promote smooth, laminar airflow. This kit also eliminates the factory charge pipe resonator, which increases audible turbocharger noise. Stay tuned for more updates!

Right off the bat, we can see that the 11th Gen is making considerably more peak horsepower. At peak horsepower, we are seeing a maximum difference of 19WHP and 20WTQ. This is due to Honda’s utilization of a twin scroll turbo (this term can be used loosely, we'll discuss this at a later date), dual port head, and the current generation having VTEC on the intake and exhaust side, which allows the head to flow much better at high rpm. This is also demonstrated by the horsepower and torque bump at peak boost, around 4200 RPM, whereas the 10th Gen torque curve begins to dramatically fall off as RPM increases.

We're ecstatic to see what the 11th Gen Civic platform is capable of. And yes, for those wondering all of our 11th Gen products such as the Resonator Delete Kit, Heritage Strut Bar, intercooler, charge pipe, downpipe, front pipe, Stage 1 Intake (silicone hose and panel filter) and flex fuel kit (once flex fuel tuning support is available for the Si) previously developed on our 2022 Civic EX 1.5T are also compatible with the Si Model. Stay tuned to see what else we come up with!
