Major Performance Enhancements: Honda Civic FL5 Type R Upgraded by YPerformance Garage

At YPerformance Garage, we take pride in upgrading cars with high performance and reliability. Our latest project features the Honda Civic FL5 Type R, offering thrilling performance and smooth handling. We’ve taken this iconic hot hatch to the next level with a series of high-performance upgrades. In this blog, we’ll dive into the modifications we’ve made, including the R660 Turbo, N1 Evo Exhaust, de-cat downpipe, RV6 front pipe, turbocharger inlet pipe, and billet intercooler. To ensure all these components work seamlessly together, we put this car on dyno with the Hondata Flash Pro Tuning.

RV6 R660 Red Ball Bearing Turbo for FK8/FL5/DE5 2.0T with Bypass Valve: Power Unleashed

The heart of our performance upgrade lies in the RV6 R660 Red Ball Bearing Turbo. This turbocharger significantly boosts the engine’s horsepower and torque, transforming the Civic FL5 Type R into a true powerhouse. The R660 Turbo is designed to deliver a more aggressive and responsive driving experience, with quicker spool times and a substantial increase in boost pressure.

A’PEXi – N1 Evolution Extreme (Catback) Exhaust – 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type-R [FK8]: Let It Roar

To complement the turbo upgrade, we’ve installed the N1 Evolution Extreme Exhaust. This exhaust system not only enhances the auditory experience with a deep, aggressive sound but also improves exhaust flow. The result is a more efficient engine operation, reduced back pressure, and an overall increase in performance.

De-Cat Downpipe | Honda Civic Type R | FK8/FL5 2.0T K20C1 | 2017+: Freeing the Flow

A crucial component in any turbocharged vehicle is the downpipe, and we’ve installed de-cat downpipe to reduce back pressure and increase exhaust flow. By eliminating the catalytic converter, we achieve quicker turbo spool and increased power, allowing the engine to breathe more freely and perform at its best.

RV6 Front Pipe for 22+ Civic Type-R ITS 2.0T FL5/DE5: Enhancing Efficiency

The RV6 front pipe works in sequence with the de-cat downpipe to further reduce restrictions in the exhaust system. This upgrade ensures a smoother and more efficient flow of exhaust gases, contributing to the overall performance gains and enhancing the driving experience.

Titanium Turbocharger Inlet Pipe Kit | Honda Civic Type R | FK8 2.0T K20C1 | 2017+: Optimized Airflow

To maximize the efficiency of the R660 Turbo, we’ve installed a high-performance PRL turbocharger inlet pipe. This component improves airflow to the turbocharger, ensuring optimal boost levels and a more responsive throttle. The result is a more exhilarating and dynamic driving experience.

Honda Civic Type-R FK8 Billet Intercooler: Keeping It Cool

Performance upgrades often lead to increased engine temperatures, which can affect reliability and performance. To counter this, we’ve equipped the Civic FL5 Type R with a billet intercooler. This intercooler provides superior heat dissipation, keeping the engine cool even under intense driving conditions and ensuring consistent performance.

Bolt-ons with Hondata FlashPro Tune

To ensure that all these components work smoothly, we put this car on a dyno in YP Garage and tuned this Civic FL5 Type R using the Hondata Flash Pro. This advanced tuning solution allows us to precisely calibrate the engine’s parameters, optimizing performance and reliability. With the Hondata Flash Pro, we can unlock the full potential of the upgrades and deliver a truly exhilarating driving experience.

Conclusion

With these performance upgrades, the Honda Civic FL5 Type R is transformed into a beast on the road, offering unmatched power, responsiveness, and performance. Whether you’re hitting the track or enjoying a spirited drive, these modifications ensure that your Civic FL5 Type R delivers an unforgettable performance.
