Eventuri Carbon Fiber V2 MAF Tube and Silicon Set Honda Civic Type-R FK8 2018-2020
If you're serious about getting the most out of your FK8 Civic Type-R, you might want to check out this turbo inlet tube I've been using. It's not just any tube; this one’s a game-changer. Designed with an integrated Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor mount and a unique Venturi stack, it perfectly matches the inner diameter of the filter neck. What does that mean for you? Well, the curvature keeps the airflow nice and smooth as it travels through the filter and into the tubing, which is a huge upgrade from the stock flexible rubber tube that’s riddled with ridges causing turbulence.
One of the things I really appreciate about this design is how it maintains flexibility. The tube isn’t rigidly attached to the airbox enclosure, which means it can move around a bit. This is crucial because it helps relieve some of the stress from engine movements, making for a more reliable setup overall. On the road, you can really feel the difference. The turbo spools up quicker, giving you a sharper throttle response. It’s like your car is just waiting to unleash that boost when you hit the pedal.
Now, let’s talk about the materials. This is the first all-carbon turbo inlet tube on the market, and you can tell that a lot of thought went into its development. The focus was on three main criteria: volume, flow quality, and temperature. The inlet diameter here is a solid 78mm, compared to the stock 63mm. This means we’re looking at over a 53% increase in cross-sectional area for the majority of the intake flow path. With a larger internal volume, the turbo can operate more efficiently and reach peak boost levels faster, without the added strain.
But it’s not just about size; flow quality matters, too. The high-temperature prepreg carbon fiber used here results in a smooth internal surface that beats the rough cast aluminum of the stock inlet. That smooth curvature helps minimize turbulence, ensuring your turbo gets the clean air it craves.
Temperature management is another key feature. The stock inlet is directly connected to the turbo, which means it’s heating up the airflow right away. This new system uses a machined flange and a silicon coupler with a thermal spacer, keeping the carbon elbow from making direct contact with the turbo. Thanks to the low thermal conductivity of carbon fiber, you’ll see less heat transfer to the airflow, which is a win for performance.
So, if you’re running an FK8 Civic Type-R from 2018 to 2020, this turbo tube is designed to fit seamlessly with the updated V2 MAF tube. Here’s a quick rundown of what you can expect:
- Carbon Fiber construction for durability and performance
- Smooth curvature that promotes laminar flow
- A whopping 53% larger diameter for better boost generation and reduced lag
- Performance gains of 15-18hp and 17-20ft-lb at stage 2 tune for FK2
- For FK8 with stock software, expect around 5hp and 5ft-lb peak, and up to 15hp and 18ft-lb under 4,000 RPM
This isn’t just a mod; it’s an upgrade that you can feel. If you want to take your Type-R to the next level, this turbo inlet tube is definitely worth considering.
