1.5T PRL Motorsports Bolt-On Big Turbo Upgrade Kit

[a c i d.f l y]

My question for the CVT users, how would it react to the new power band in partial throttle.

https://www.civicx.com/threads/hondata-r-d-finds-limit-of-civic-cvt.9957/

According to Hondata, the CVT's torque converter starts slipping above 220lb/ft, between 2800-3200rpm. Apparently a transmission cooler could potentially increase that limit. A different torque converter (if one existed) with a higher torque limit would just increase the potential damage to the belt.

So this turbo kit isn’t a drop in turbo. How much work would have to be done to get it to fit? Is it reversible?

This is a bolt on kit, so yes it is reversable. The only additonal item you will need that is not included but will be a drop down option is our cobra intake.

You you say fuel kit you talking about e85? I hope not since I cant get it in my area only 91 either way think I would still do the larger turbo to make all the power I can

With Direct injection cars, there is no upgraded injectors and most likely will not be for any forseable future, to get more fuel you run regualar additional injectors. We are making a way to add an aditional 4 regular injector to the car. To inform yourself you can look up older bmw 335 tt cars and this will give you a better understanding of how to get more fuel.

Without the "revo-knuckle" style suspension on the Type R, how monstrous do you think that the torque-steer will be on this?

how do you know or what does it feel like when the cvt starts slipping? mine is pretty heavily modded for the cvt and mine runs fine and smooth

Have you guys worked with anyone to make a intake manifold of some sort to run port injectors?

I believe intake manifold is on there list. If you read up a bit, they mentioned the fueling kit.

My guess is a spacer of sorts that will mount in between the intake manifold and the cylinder head, allowing injectors to be added there.

Something kind of like this: http://www.ad-eng.net/store/p28/AD_Engineering_BMW_N54_Port_Injection_Kit.html

This was going to be my guess as well on how to do it, either way PRL puts in solid R&D and will provide a great solution to the fueling issue for the guys chasing 400+ which is me haha

to note, We just got our heat shields in today for the kits! will post up some pics assembled on the car with the kit later.

I got a throttle body spacer for my water/meth kit came with a nifty port all threaded and ready

Nifty. I don't really know much about how far water/meth injection can take you but it sounds like you know what you are doing.

Have you guys seen these TGV deletes from PRL for the WRX? They are no stranger to that type of machine work:

While we're on the subject of PRL's other services, does anyone at a high level know what their "Turbine Housing Porting" service does? Haven't seen it mentioned at all.
