Using this kit is a great way to boost your 2017 - 2021 Honda Civic Type - R FK8's performance. First, make sure your car is one of the compatible models, like RHD or international variants. And remember, it only works with the PRL Motorsports High Volume Intake System.
When it comes to installation, follow the TYPE - R HVI INSTALL GUIDE. For the Street MAF option, you're in luck as no ECU calibration is needed. But if you choose the Race MAF option, you'll have to do Race MAF scaling ECU calibration.
This upgrade is a real powerhouse, with the ability to handle over 600 horsepower and a 47% increase in airflow. It's perfect if you want your car to make over 450 horsepower. And if you change your mind later, you can switch from the Race MAF housing to the Street MAF housing.
As for maintenance, keep an eye on the components in the kit. The billet aluminum MAF housing, 4 - ply silicone hose, 304 stainless steel worm clamp, and injection molded evap fitting should be inspected regularly for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice anything wrong, replace the parts as needed to keep your car running smoothly.
