Important Notes:

  • NO ECU CALIBRATION REQUIRED FOR STANDARD BORE MAF HOUSING
  • BIG BORE MAF-SPECIFIC ECU CALIBRATION IS REQUIRED FOR BIG BORE MAF HOUSING


Technical Notes:

Our FK8 Civic Type-R High Volume Intake system utilizes a 6" cone filter and 2-piece MAF housing with velocity stack(s) to allow maximum airflow while delivering proper fuel trims. The HDPE rotomolded air box utilizes the factory air duct and seal for optimal airflow and heat-soak reduction. Custom molded 4-ply silicone allows for all components to be safely attached without obstructing airflow.


The Big Bore MAF housing option is the largest MAF housing on the market, rated at 600+ horsepower, and offers a 47% increase in airflow volume over the factory MAF housing or Standard Bore HVI MAF. Our engineers were able to profile the volute and locate the MAF sensor flange in the optimal location to help keep fuel trims extremely stable. This will require a calibration/MAF scaling and is more-so intended for customers looking to make over 450 horsepower.


Kit Includes:

  • (1) 4-Ply Silicone Intake Hose
  • (1) Evap Fitting Adapter
  • (1) Two-Piece MAF Housing
  • (1) Rotomold Air Box
  • (1) 6" Air Filter
  • (4) Stainless Steel Breeze Lined Clamps
  • Stainless hardware
  • Wire Loom
  • Dress-Up Hardware Kit

Testing Data:

All testing was performed on the same day with a rather mild 55 degree Fahrenheit day and moderate humidity. We started all single dyno pulls at 174 degrees, while continuous (back-to-back) dyno pulls start at 174 degrees and end around 197 degrees. For our first comparison we tested the factory intake system on KTuner's stock equivalent ECU map versus our High Volume Intake System on KTuner's stock equivalent ECU map for an apples-to-apples comparison. Run 2 was the coolest (174 degree starting temp) for both setups. We saw an 11 - 12 horsepower peak gain and 32 horsepower gain throughout the mid-range over the factory intake system.

Continuous dyno pulls and testing under the same conditions produce identical gains time after time. Even our hottest runs, Run 4 (197 degree starting temp), showed a 5 horsepower peak gain and 26 horsepower gain throughout the mid-range over the factory intake system.


Next, we uploaded KTuner's Stage 1 ECU map with the factory intake system and our High Volume Intake System. The coolest runs, Run 2, showed an 8-9 horsepower peak gain and 25 horsepower gain throughout the mid-range.

The hottest runs, Run 5, showed a 9 horsepower peak gain and 18 horsepower gain throughout the mid-range.

One of our main focuses with this intake system was to offer a factory-like fuel trims (much like our 1.5T Cobra CAI & SRI) for optimal drivability and performance. We spent quite a bit of time designing what we determined is the best intake system/MAF housing on the market. Thus far we have seen Short Term Fuel Trims within +2-4% of the factory. We have a few more tricks up our sleeve, but are very happy and confident with what we have currently.

I’m incredibly happy with my purchase and even happier with how PRL handled the entire experience. They didn’t just fix the problem; they made me feel valued as a customer.

Q&A

Will this make the turbo blowoff louder?
Absolutely it will!
Hi, Is there any downside / cons if I upgrade the high volume intake without a tune? Thank you.
Greetings. No downside at all. The Street Version https://prlmotorsports.com/products/2017-civic-type-r-fk8-high-volume-intake-system?_pos=5&_fid=0e0d8adeb&_ss=c, will perform greatly.
Hi, Is it necessary to disconnect the car battery prior to this installation?
Greetings. Before Beginning Your Installation: 1. Turn off the ignition. Loosen battery terminal and disconnect the negative battery terminal cable. Allow the vehicle to sit for a minimum of 5 minutes to drain any remaining charge from the charging system.
Hey If I have the high volume intake with street MAF can I change to race MAF Thanks
Greetings. Yes, you can. We do have the MAF conversion kit , depending on if you either have your stock inlet pipe OR out PRL Inlet Pipe: https://prlmotorsports.com/products/2017-civic-type-r-fk8-high-volume-intake-maf-housing-conversion-kit?_pos=28&_fid=edc34bc7a&_ss=c&variant=40069223448769
What’s the difference between the race and the street?
Greetings. The Race MAF housing option is the largest MAF housing on the market, rated at 600+ horsepower, and offers a 47% increase in airflow volume over the factory MAF housing or "Street" HVI MAF. RACE MAF-SPECIFIC ECU CALIBRATION/ TUNE IS REQUIRED FOR RACE MAF HOUSING. NO ECU CALIBRATION/TUNE REQUIRED FOR STREET MAF HOUSING
