With all the hype surrounding the newly released turbochargers from multiple companies, I thought it would be beneficial to have a thread that encompasses the different options for the FK8 platform to promote good technical discussions.
I know that a lot of us (including myself) are very interested and eager to see real world results on all the different turbochargers! I highly encourage anybody with a non-factory turbocharger to leave feedback and experiences that will help guide members in the community towards making an educated decision on which unit fits their needs best!
Disclaimer! I think it goes without saying that one of the biggest limiting factors for our cars is fueling, and that to make the most out of any of these units, its going to require additional fuel.
The current fueling options we have are:
Hondata: https://www.hondata.com/fuel-system-fk8?search=fuel
Xtreme Direct Injection (XDI): https://www.xtreme-di.com/product/fk8/
Meanwhile, the link for Full Race is below to purchase the XDI unit
https://www.full-race.com/store/hon...-type-r-high-flow-direct-injection-fuel-pump/
**You will also need tuning software such as Hondata, Ktuner, or Motec to run these turbos.
With that being said, please feel free to provide suggestions on what would help make this list “better” and I can try to make the changes as necessary! The order of turbochargers on this list in no way is affiliated with which one is better than the others btw, and I have no affiliation with any of these companies.

Company: Rampage Fab
Name: RS-450
Price: $1,849.00 – $2,649.00 (the cheaper option requires a core exchange)
Specs: 52.5mm compressor, billet compressor wheel
Info: The RS-450 is currently in redevelopment by Rampage
Description
The Gen-2 Rampage RS-450 is everything that is missing from a full bolt-on Type-R and has been designed to be the ultimate street and circuit Turbo Upgrade. It can be used with the stock engine and fuel system and under these conditions will support up to 470WHP on 93 octane. This upgrade is intended to be used without the need for port injection or a built motor, however, we do recommend Fuel System Upgrade to maximize the potential of this turbo and protect your engine. The Gen-2 RS-450 is a direct replacement for your stock turbo and can be tuned using Hondata. We have upgraded the compressor and turbine wheels to larger diameters and improved aero (details below including Dyno graphs), reduced the blade count from 12 to 9 on the turbine wheel, and anodized the billet aluminum 10 blade compressor wheel for added durability. As a part of our service to you, we ceramic coat the turbine housing to retain thermal energy, maximize efficiency, and reduce engine bay temperatures. In addition, we are including our grade 5 titanium exhaust studs as standard. A new OEM turbo to cylinder head gasket is also included for your convenience.
The approach to our design and wheel sizing was to retain as much of the factory spool characteristics and significantly open up the mid-range and top-end power band. It was also important to consider the limitations of the factory housings and size our wheel combination accordingly to get the longest life possible from an upgraded unit.
- Specifications of our upgrade in its newest 2021 form:
- OEM turbo:
- Compressor Wheel: Inducer : 49.3mm Exducer : 58mm
- Turbine Wheel: Inducer : 46.5mm, Exducer: 41.25mm 12 blade
- Gen-2 RS-450:
- Compressor Wheel (9 blade): Inducer : 52.5mm Exducer : 68 mm w/ extended tip
- Turbine Wheel: 9 blade turbine head 713c Inconel Inducer: 52mm, Exducer : 46.5mm
**At the time of purchase, you will need to select one of the core exchange options. If you plan on sending your OEM turbo in for the core exchange please select “yes”. Once we receive and inspect your turbo, a core refund of up to $800 will be processed. By selecting “no” you are opting to keep your OEM turbo and pay the full core cost of $800. For full core refunds we require a crack/damage free turbo (damage to wheels is OK, housings must be crack free for full core value). Broken, stripped, drilled studs will affect core refund amount.
*If you would like to send your OEM core in for inspection prior to purchase, please email [email protected]
If more than 470 WHP is desired, we recommend our Rampage RS-550 drop-in turbo upgrade or the G25-660 Turbo kit for even more.
****Lead times for producing our in-house products is between 2-6 weeks depending on the part. Please contact us at [email protected] or call us at 360-878-9565 to get a more accurate lead time on the part you desire. ****
Cancelled orders will be subject to a restocking fee; see our return policy for details.

Company: Rampage Fab
Name: RS-550
Price: $2249-$3049 (The cheaper option is once your oem core is traded in)
Specs: 54mm inconel billet compressor, dual ball bearing CHRA,
Info: Taken Directly from the Rampage Website
The RS-550 utilizes a 713c Inconel 54/47mm turbine wheel, anodized billet Aluminum 54/67mm compressor wheel, and a dual ceramic ball bearing CHRA. Using precision CNC machining processes we are able incorporate all this new hardware into an OEM set of housings for maximum reliability and parts availability.
We have currently tested this turbo to 480-500whp on the stock engine & clutch, with Hondata FlashPro and fuel system upgrade while maintaining less than 85% duty on the HPFP. We are looking forward to continued testing with alternative fuels.
For optimal tunability we recommend pairing this turbocharger with our new 3.5″ MAF housing upgrade** for PRL HVI intakes, which will be available simultaneously with the RS-550.
Facebook Announcement Below
Initial RS-550 Results on 92 Octane! So heres our best 2 graphs from our hub dyno, unfortunately the MAF is becoming an issue with the extra air flow. So we have some stuff in the works to hopefully resolve that and get our torque to look a bit better up top which will really boost the peak power #s. So we're not done yet! This is just the beginning but already looking promising.
This car is 100% stock engine and clutch, we added a PRL intercooler and an HVI, and of course the hondata FSU. (Currently in stock)
The tune is very safe, and ramped boost in conservatively to protect the rods. I think we were around 32psi on the dyno, and seeing closer to 34 on the street.
Next week we have an appointment to put the car on a Dynojet chassis dyno so that should hopefully provide a more comparable set of results to what most other companies are using.
So stay tuned as we will be releasing more info on the power potential of this turbo, pricing, and lead times!
**Also would like to mention that none of our turbos are made overseas, we have been made aware of some claims being made on social media that are just flat out false**
Estimated HP (flywheel): Currently tested to 480-500whp - stock engine/clutch with *<85% duty on the Hondata HPFP

Additional Information taken from https://www.turbozentrum.de/MHI-Mit...Honda-Civic-X-Type-R-FK8-Turbo-Upgrade-450-HP
This TD04 turbocharger was developed as a direct upgrade for the Honda Civic X Type R (FK8) models. Like all MHI turbochargers it has a special journal bearing and a bigger Inconel exhaust wheel for increased airflow. With this TD04 you get a durable and robust turbocharger in Japanese manufacturing quality for plug'n'play conversion up to 450hp. Only small adjustments are necessary.
All MHI Performance Turbochargers are original Made in Japan!
MHI Performance turbochargers are a high-quality result of an extremely precise production in the motor sports department of the Japanese turbocharger manufacturer Mitsubishi.
All MHI Performance turbochargers have a very wide compressor map which provides optimum performance at any speed and does not know the typical pumping. Compared to other manufacturers, MHI compressor maps have a higher efficiency over a wider range.
In addition, all Mitsubishi Performance Turbos are equipped with double hydrodynamic bearings. The exhaust wheels made of Inconel, in perfect symbiosis with compressor wheels from the latest development, convince with an amazingly early response and torque development even at low rev ranges and with low boost pressure. This means better drivability in the lower and medium speed ranges, thanks to the best power delivery in the feared turbo lag.
MHI = Made in Japan - Not Made in China!
MHI stands for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. This is a department of the vehicle manufacturer Mitsubishi which deals among other things with the production of turbochargers for own and also foreign vehicles. MHI turbochargers are also used in the Porsche Panamera Turbo and BMW 2.0L Turbo.
The MHI turbochargers were among the first turbochargers to come onto the market as China plagiarisms. In particular the proximity to Japan and the Japanese vehicle market made these plagiarisms interesting for China. We would like to point out once again that there are still tons of MHI plagiarisms on offer. However, these have nothing to do with the high-precision manufacturing from Japan. We supply exclusively original MHI turbochargers Made in Japan!

Note: Having been readily available for purchase, there is remarkably, very little information on this turbo that I can find. Information on Pure Turbo’s website shows that these are capable of making 420+whp on pump gas (and likely a FSU). Art of Attack’s FK8 is equipped with this turbo and they seemed confident in one of their posts that it can make 500+whp but dialed it back.

Description
The all-new Garrett based turbo kit for the FK-8 Type-R Civic is here! Starting with the all new internally gated G25-550 .72 a/r turbo, we then hand-fabricate the 3″ intake, 3″ 304ss downpipe, and 2″ aluminum charge pipe. These components all terminate in OEM locations for the greatest compatibility with other aftermarket parts like intercoolers and charge piping, exhausts, and air boxes.
One of the key features of this kit is that it re-uses the factory electronic waste gate which makes it tune-able on most if not all stock ECU based programs. Stand alone tuning is also possible and can be done with either the OEM EWG or mechanical/sprung actuators in conjunction with an electronic boost solenoid.
We are also have a Stock Turbo upgrade option. This option is recommended for those who do not plan on upgrading the stock fuel system. See our website for the RS-450 if you want a little more power without major modifications.

Company: Full Race
Name: 10th Gen FK8 Civic Type R EFR IWG Turbo kit
Price: $2274.29-$7217.90 (please note that $2274.29 encompasses the price of the turbokit…without the turbo or any other useful options while $7217 encompasses every single most expensive upgrade you can get)
Specs: You have a choice between two EFR ball bearing turbos with this kit from Borg Warner
EFR6758 : Forged 53.9mm compressor
EFR7173: Forged 57mm compressor
Info: taken directly from Full Race’s site
We use the world’s best turbo technology in combination with our proven design and fabrication skills – to achieve a faster spool with a broader and more usable powerband than any comparable FK8 CTR turbo setup on the market. This kit has been rigorously torture tested on road racing circuits, drag strips, and the dyno, plus over a year of daily driving and hard weekend track use on the books. We’ve used our 15+ years of experience building world class Honda turbo kits to fine tune this kit to be an exceptionally responsive turbo system that’s easy to install and performs flawlessly. Additionally, if you ever want to revert back to stock, the kit can be easily removed, as no permanent modifications are required.
Below is a conservative and safe tune using a Hondata Basemap that is included with FlashPro tuning software.
Our EFR Turbo kit was engineered and designed as a completely bolt-on installation that extracts the most possible performance from the turbocharged Honda K20C1 engine, and easily adapts to multiple forms of driving from time attack battles, drag racing, road racing, autocross and more. Full-Race’s proven design results in a turbo kit that spools like stock at light throttle and boosts unmistakably like a Turbo Honda at WOT. Completely civilized when you want it, and a monster when you need it!
The 2.0 liter engine’s ability to electronically control boost (wastegate position) is hugely important to the overall vehicle performance. It may not sound like a big deal on internet forums where dump tubes and external wastegates are the norm – but electronic wastegate actuators have proven to be more consistent and far more precise than mechanical wastegates and spring pressure adjustments could ever be. We have worked extensively with Hondata and MHI (OE Turbo Supplier to Honda) to retain this OEM electronic wastegate control, making tuning and setup a breeze on all stock ECU based tuning programs. Stand alone tuning is also possible if that’s your preference. Hondata’s test results have showed gains of 189 wheel horsepower over stock after installing this kit (506whp with EFR 7163 and race gas on stock ecu) 4Piston has made well over 550whp with this kit and we will continue to see these peak numbers increase as this platform ages.
Key Design Features
· 100% V-band connections for Turbo and Manifold for the most un-restrictive exhaust flow and ease of maintenance / installation
· Fully retained OEM Electronic Wastegate actuator (more precise, more consistent than external wastegates)
· 3.5″ oversized MAF Intake and Airbox (Hondata MAF scaling available)
· 3″ EFR V-band Downpipe

Company: Spoon
Name: Spoon Big Turbocharger Kit - Civic FK8
Price: $4070
Specs: 52mm (?)
Info: (taken from the Spoon website)
Ever since the launch of CIVIC TYPE R FK8, we have been focusing on the K20C turbo engine potential. The ECU analysis has been done and settings changed multiple times with the goal of further improving engine performance.
Just optimizing the ECU settings, while of course ensuring the safety margin, for boost, ignition timing and fuel adjustment, has improved the output by about 40ps compared to stock. The further need to improve the middle to low speed range torque and high-speed output has led us to developing this high-capacity turbocharger.
This turbocharger is using the latest highly efficient MHI turbo that supplies genuine FK8 one. The latest CFD analysis technology helped optimizing the compressor shape and turbine blades. Along with the increased diameter it resulted in higher output without sacrificing the medium to low-speed torque.
Additionally, the same housing with the genuine turbine allows you to make the replacement easy and fast (bolt-on).
The shape of the compressor and the number of blades have been optimized, high flow rate and high boost achieved by increasing the genuine 58Φ diameter to 65Φ.
The blade shape and the number of turbine wheels have also been enhanced and diameter modified from 47Φ to 52Φ. The suppressed moment of inertia and increased capacity reduced exhaust pressure and improved the response.
Engine Power STD 302.84ps
Spoon Turbo 410.02ps
Engine Torque STD 40.24Kgm
Spoon Turbo 55.48Kgm
SPOON demonstration car comparison data
SPOON N1 Muffler, SPOON Air Cleaner, 【Hondata】Fuel System Upgrade , intercooler, and downpipe installed along with modified settings allow to increase the output by 100ps and torque by 15Kgm.
*Caution! High-capacity clutch required.
*Results may vary.
Since sufficient fuel supply is difficult to reach with normal fuel system, Hondata Fuel System install is required to provide the increased output (injector, increased fuel capacity and software upgrade included. Fuel supply amount increased by 24% compared to stock).
Estimated HP: 410ps

Company: PerformNC
Name: FK8 G30 IWG Turbo Kit
Price: $5500-5800
Specs: G30 - 660/770/900
Information pertaining to the Garret G30 series turbos can be found on their website here
https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-turbos/
Info:
Perform NC FK8 G Series Turbo kits feature Garrett G30 or G35 Internal gated turbochargers that are able to use the factory wastegate. This kit also features many products we already build in house. The CNC header plate, CNC oil feed kits, CNC Lower Downpipe Flanges are all used in this kit. They feature none other than 304 SS stainless steel exhaust parts, 6061 Aluminum intake and charge piping. Turbo Smart Raceport is Standard BOV.
Due to the many different style intakes available and their INABILITY to flow high horsepower with the hood shut, we have opted to use a open air filter design as a standard fitment. ALTHOUGH, with many people wanting the air box for aesthetics reasons, we have made them to fit the TAKEDA intake box . We chose this box for 1 reason- It has an small secondary opening on the side of the box to ensure the engine is not breathing solely over the radiator shroud.
All Perform NC products and fabrication are made in Wilmington NC
Standard kit includes
G30-770
CNC V2 Header
G Series Installation kit (Oil feed, Coolant lines, Oil Drain)
G30/35 Wastegate Adapter Kit
3.5 “ Powder Coated Aluminum Intake With Optional MAF bung
3“ Mandrel Bent 304 Stainless Downpipe to factory connection

Optimized FEA analysis design
Our main goal of the R660 RED was to develop a robust and reliable turbocharger. First step to this was ditching the stock sized TD04 format. The TD04 design is popular amongst OE turbochargers for its small compact size and quick response. However trying to squeeze more than 400HP from such a small turbo is difficult to do reliably and comes at the cost of shortened life. In order to achieve our goals we needed to over build and upsize everything.
We built the R660 around a TD05 bearing housing. The TD05 bearing housing is about twice the size of the TD04. This allowed us to use a full sized 8mm ceramic ball bearing for quick spool and increased thrust loads. In order to keep everything cool and reliable. We oversized the coolant passages and used -10AN coolant lines ample cooling.
With a larger TD05 bearing housing we were able to implement a turbine housing with an A/R of 0.81. This significantly reduces the amount of back pressure between the turbo and engine. The solve many issues with unstable boost and overheating.
We are currently looking for BETA testers. Please send us a email with your setup if interested.

Details:
Ready to take your FK8 CTR to the next level? Don’t want to deal with core charges, long lead times, or restrictive factory housings? Look no further! VTT has you covered with our 100% new casting “GC” turbocharger upgrade.
We start by keeping the great design elements of the factory 2L turbo and removing the not-so-great ones such as the small factory inlet area, bearing housing oil structure, thrust bearing, and anything else we saw that could be improved upon. This is not your basic TD04 CHRA. We completely changed the bearing structure to an 8mm turbine shaft, and journal bearing making it larger than anything in the TD04 MHI family, this truly is a custom unit. We also increased the thrust assembly dramatically to deal with the increased thrust loads. With the basics covered, we stepped it up a level by adding proprietary VTT changes to the housings, A/R Ratios and finished off by having all these parts cast to OE quality. What this means for you is serious 2.0L power made easy; GCs are a drop in turbocharger upgrade that supports up to 550WHP while maintaining very fast spool and all factory connections including oil, water, downpipe, and charge pipe.
This turbo is perfect for the FK8 owner looking to max out the factory fuel system and make their CTR more fun to drive with power to redline, as well as the customer looking to add a fuel system and push towards the 550+WHP range. This truly is the unit for everyone. We said the same with our 1.5L SI offering, and have delivered on every promise, due to our no-compromise approach to the upgrade.
Key Design Elements:
- All new castings with factory restrictions removed. No oversized wheels stuffed into factory housings
- 310 Stainless Steel Turbine housing for the ultimate in heat, and corrosion resistance
- 54mm 9-blade Superalloy Mar-M 246 turbine wheel with the latest aero technology for increased flow while maximizing spool
- 67mm 9-blade “point-milled” compressor wheels with the latest aero technology to maximize flow while virtually eliminating surge
- Direct connection to ALL factory lines including oil, water, downpipe, and factory charge pipe
- Reliable Stock-550+WHP support with amazingly fast spool. Same size G25-660 wheel combo we use in many of our BMW Twin Turbo applications making a reliable 1000+WHP with near stock spool levels.
- Redesigned turbocharger inlet with a FULL FLOWING 3” hose connection. All units come with an adapter to fit most all popular FK8 inlet kits.
- Redesigned, and improved internal components including bearing housing oiling, upgraded internal bearing structure to 8mm Turbine shaft, Journal Bearings, and redesigned thrust bearing with larger thrust pieces to take extra thrust loads.
- Enlarged Wastegate bore to help keep back pressure down, and insure precise boost control
- NO CORE CHARGES. The new unit is sold to you outright. Keep your old unit in case you ever want to go back to stock. Or sell it to recoup your investment -it’s up to you!
- No long lead times: once fully released production units will be on the shelf for same to next-day shipping (please inquire about stock levels when ordering)
- Full 12-month unlimited mileage/No Hassle Warranty. If you have an issue, we will replace the unit no questions asked
- 1 – VTT “GC” turbocharger
- 1 – 3” Silicone inlet adapter
Estimated WHP: 550whp
