Description
The Infinity Design Carbon Turbo Inlet for the Honda Civic Type R FL5 is a precision-engineered upgrade designed to improve airflow efficiency and throttle response. Constructed from 100% pre-preg carbon fibre, this lightweight yet durable turbo inlet significantly smooths the intake path while increasing internal volume. The result is improved torque delivery across the rev range, sharper throttle response, and a more engaging driving experience – all without requiring ECU tuning.
Fitment
-
Honda Civic Type R FL5 (2023+) – K20C1 2.0L Turbocharged
Performance Benefits
- Increased torque throughout the RPM range
- Sharper, smoother throttle response
- Improved airflow efficiency with reduced turbulence
- Larger volume inlet for smoother air transition around the turbo bend
- Lightweight and heat-resistant carbon fibre construction
- Direct OEM replacement – no tuning required
Design & Development
The OEM turbo inlet features a restrictive design with turbulence around the lower bend leading to the turbo. Infinity Design’s re-engineered inlet optimizes this critical airflow path with a larger internal volume and smoother geometry. This reduces pressure drop and improves the efficiency of the turbo impellers, allowing the engine to respond more eagerly.
- Larger Internal Volume – supports greater airflow capacity
- Smoother Flow Path – reduces turbulence, especially at the tight lower bend
- OEM Compatibility – designed for a seamless direct fit
Performance Testing
Independent testing on a Maha MSR500 dynamometer confirms the benefits of this upgrade:
- Noticeable torque gains across the rev range
- Improved drivability in mid-range and lower gears
- As expected, no additional peak horsepower at the top end – the improvements are focused on torque and throttle response where it matters most for real-world performance
