PRL Motorsports 2017+ Honda Civic Type-R FK8 Turbocharger Inlet Pipe Kit

Nope just gotta get it on the inlet first then walk it on to the intake and twist it towards the firewall to prevent interference with the hood

Believe me I had to figure it out myself noone would give me a straight answer

After patiently waiting for these to come back in stock and literally checking every day I found one on ebay. Hoping it isn't a box full of rocks. I did confirm with seller this was for the PRL HVI.

Good afternoon guys. Just wanted to give you all a heads up. I'm currently installing this on a bone stock 2019 ctr and the instructions on the FB page say that the bolts that hold on to the elbow are 14mm. The bolts that are on the 2019 are definitely 12mm. There might have been a change from the 2017 model to the 2019 model. I also unclasped the small black rubber hose on the plastic wiring harness to give more slack. This made getting to the bottom bolt much easier to get too.

This has been corrected on our installation guide. Thank you for the catch! Always willing to revise things like this, sometimes people see things at a different angle or move one little thing to make the job WAY easier.

Any updates on eta for these to come back in stock?

It was 12mm on my 2018 as well.

So
After removing the 2 screws is this piece supposed to move at all. It just barely moves side to side. Still blocking the bottom bolt.

The harness should move away, but not by much. I forget if there's any clips holding it in place. Taking the rubber hose off of it helps a little.

What type of socket and extension are supposed to fit in there? Would have been nice if they provided a bit more detail.

A regular 12mm and 6" extension should suffice. Getting to the lower bolt is tricky, especially getting it back in. You'll be snaking it through the hoses and barely able to see what you're doing, but it's not as hard as it first seems.

You can also unplug the piece that connects to the waste gate
Edit NVM it looks like you already did. With the bolts removed it should pop off, it won't move that far but gives you room to work

Well this project just took a shit on me. I carefully placed a magnetic tray to hold the bolts on a rag by the intake. I had a socket in my hand that somehow became magnetic. It sucked a bolt onto it then dropped into the engine bay around the turbo. Of course it never fell to the bottom tray. Now I have to disassemble the entire front of the car.
The best part is I specifically used the magnetic tray so this wouldn't happen.

Sorry but they should have included a picture for this part. Especially since it's as tricky as everyone says it is.

Unless it fell in front of the radiator, you should be able to reach it just by taking off the aluminum splash pan and reaching around. But that'll require jacking the car.

If it fell in front of the radiator you might be able to snake one of those magnetic things through the holes in the front bumper. Things usually end up right under the IC.

Taking off the front doesn't require a jack, but obviously requires time and spooky popping of clips.

Luckily for me I was installing the charge pipes anyways.

I will PayPal anyone $20 if they post a pic of what extensions/sockets and how to position it.
