We put an old FK8 Turbo on our new 2023 Civic Type R to see which turbo is the best OEM drop in turbo. Don't worry, our PRL P700 drop in turbo was on stand by and ready to be installed in the Civic Type R to finally start turning up this project!

Just further proves the FL5 (nor the FK8) was not designed for drag racing. They had circuit racing in mind but many on forums and other videos want to compare them that way. This is a better comparison distinctly on parts and their performance. And I applaud you guys for it.

Looks like further proof that the FL5 turbo is better than the FK8. I've seen people say the FK8 is better for power up top but never show the data. You guys and Hondata both have proved that to be wrong and the FL5 is just better everywhere. I'm trying to decide what turbo I want to drop in my Accord 2.0T and I've been leaning towards the FL5. It's cheaper than the FK8, and every other aftermarket option, and I feel like it will be a good match for my goal of a 330-350hp daily driver. Hoping that will keep it super reliable while adding a good amount of power. What do you think?

@DOOMLORDHOKAGE Год назад

But for some reason in a drag race the fk8 is faster. Must be the weight and chassis isn't fully optimised

@thefoatmedia Год назад

@@DOOMLORDHOKAGE There are lots of reason why that could happen. Driver, conditions, weight etc. In this specific case the gearing and weight play a big role in drag racing. Everyone assumes it's just "HP". You can take a well set up car with less HP and a better driver than a Higher HP car and win it all day. Key thing to remember, making power is only one aspect of racing.

@thefoatmedia Год назад

If you're trying to make that power figure, why switch turbos? The stock one should easily get you to that with other supporting mods and it's more cost effective.

@jmh3571 Год назад

@@thefoatmedia Because I don't want to have to mess with flex fuel if I don't have to. I'd rather get there with an upgraded turbo and 91 or better octane. And from what I've seen, getting to around 350ish whp requires either flex fuel or different turbo on the 10 speed Accords.

@thefoatmedia Год назад

@@jmh3571 Then I'd definitely go with the FL5 turbo.

Am still on 9th gen i do 500+ mile every week do to my job. Covered 150,000+ mileage and still going 😊 i have the 2016 1.6 idtec honda state. Nice to see all the new gen on your channel 😀 shame your 11th gen Si didn't make the power test but loving your videos 😀

Thanks for watching! We used to have a 9th gen as well. You can Definitely put miles on it.

I came across this vid because I’m looking to upgrade my 22 tlx turbo with the fl5 turbo randomly and I notice that’s the guy that tuned my NSX a while ago lol

@thefoatmedia 5 месяцев назад

Awesome. Thank you for watching.

@nfspeedy2 Год назад

So whats the point for getting the PRL Turbo when it lacks 50ish torque to the FK8 and 60ish torque to the FL5?

@thefoatmedia Год назад

When you turn it up, it will make more power than any stock turbo. Different turbos have different efficiency ranges. Depending on your goals, choosing the right turbo will play a big role in the cars overall performance. In some cases I recommend keeping stock turbo because of the low end torque, but keep in mind big torque spike can also blow your motor. In our case, we are looking for more power that stock turbos can’t produce. The comparisons were just a straight swap no tuning changes (and for those new to the new platform, doing this did not hurt the motor).

isnt the fl5 turbo better tho ? love how the guy never came back and talked about how the fl5 whooped ass

@user-qu6nn2vy3i 10 месяцев назад

Is the spoon big turbo better than the p700?

@roots2600 Месяц назад

Is that results on stock ECU? It seems to be impressive

I would be interested to see a tuned FL5 on normal octane with the prl turbo.

@Chris12211 Год назад

Great video! Will definitely help people when choosing which turbo to go for. The other thing I’m curious about is, what Honda did to the fl5 gearbox to get rid of the gearbox issues people had with the fk8 and whether any of those components can be transferred over.

@thefoatmedia Год назад

If you’re referring to the gear breaking issue, I think it’s still too early to tell if it’s been “fixed”. There’s not many people tracking the new type r, compared to the fk8.

@Chris12211 Год назад

@@thefoatmedia it was more the 2nd gear crunch which happened to a lot of cars that were just driven on the road. But I suppose there’s not as many out there as fk8’s yet.

Nice video! Had a question i have a 2019 acura rdx with bolts on . Ktunerv2 , intercooler , hvi, inlet pipe , type r turbo, high voulume down pipe , front pipe n cat back , charge pipe n tune by drobimw n dyno it n making 280 -290 hp is this numbers have to be higher ? Or have to upgrade to big turbo ?

@nolan-dr9te Год назад

i have a question too why are you doing that to an rdx

@thefoatmedia Год назад

Dynos are just tools. It wouldn’t be a fair comparison to say what HP numbers you should be at. What was your “gain” from stock to all those mods?

@DavidJimenez-bt3vx Год назад

@OsosikMedia your right !! I should of dyno stock to have correct knowledge of how much hp I was making but never did . So I'm going base on stock hp which would be 250 - 270 ish 🤔

Wow a whole 4 hp on regular has not impressed at all the e40 blend is what gave u extra hp ,back to the drawing board u go

@thefoatmedia 9 месяцев назад

Back to the drawing board, for? The turbos were compared with zero tuning changes (on purpose). The e40 blend was the only time we changed the tune.

@flawless_ether 9 месяцев назад

@@thefoatmedia only 4 hp gain without that blend

@thefoatmedia 9 месяцев назад

Exactly, that's the whole point of the video. To show everyone the differences if you just swapped turbos without any additional changes. Once you start tuning some turbos will do much better than others. But then again the fuel system will be the limit which doesn't allow you to see the true potential of the P700.@@flawless_ether

@Gjproductions7 Год назад

is the prl 700 worth it is it better than 650 i bought an fk8 that i want to build what is the best turbo for your opinion alot of people saying that prl is not good

@thefoatmedia Год назад

There’s a lot of variables that only you can answer for “best turbo”. First you’d have to know: power goals? Purpose? Budget? For us we are not looking for big Hp like our Drag race cars, so the PRL700 is perfect for what we’re building it for.
