Honda Civic Type R Performance Turbo Inlet, 2017+

Just as the Civic Type R evolved into a tarmac devouring beast of a hot-hatchback, we here at Mishimoto have kept up with the K20C1's induction needs. Our entire race intake setup unleashes more of the CTR's competitive spirit on the track, but what about those not ready for complete custom tuning yet? Enter our performance turbo inlet kit fresh off the production line.

If you're looking to update your FK8's intake system but conflicted on which Mishimoto set up to grab, make sure that you check out our video on the benefits of each system, but make sure to keep reading for specifics on our inlet kit:

Honda and the long list of racers using this platform already proved that the factory inlet delivers adequate performance, but, as we covered in the last post, many OEM components leave room to improve. We utilized a combination of cast and mandrel-bent aluminum for our inlet design for the perfect form and function.

It's a tight squeeze in the front of the FK8, which makes snaking a larger

Every enthusiast evolves through a modification journey. It starts with the cheapest and rudest mods you can get your hands on. As we touched on in the last post, intakes are often first on the list, and many settle for a filter on a stick. It satisfies the itch, makes a racket, and provides the placebo of speed. Unlike simple filter-on-stick intakes, our performance intake kit for the FK8 provided the turbo soundtrack but combined it with measurable performance gains. While our FK8 intake performs well alone, we wanted to take it a step further by addressing the turbo inlet.

Engineering on the turbo inlet began with our development on the CTR's race intake. However, we wanted to provide improved airflow for those who are not ready for an oversized MAF tune yet. In case you missed the development of our race intake, let's review, so you're up to speed. 

From the factory, the turbo inlet pipe is a hefty chunk of cast aluminum. Honda designed this inlet to run directly over top of the
