Do I need to already own the Eventuri intake to use the Carbon Charge Pipe V3 Upgrade Kit?

Yes. The Eventuri Carbon Charge Pipe V3 Upgrade Kit is designed only for FK8 Honda Civic Type R owners who already run the earlier Eventuri carbon turbo tube system. It is an upgrade to that setup, not a complete standalone intake, so it will not fit a factory airbox or another brand's intake.

How much power does the V3 charge pipe add?

Eventuri's dyno testing shows gains of 9hp and 9ft-lb at peak, rising to as much as 15hp and 18ft-lb in the mid-range below 4,000rpm, where the FK8 spends most of its street and track time. The larger bore reduces turbine loading, so the turbo spools faster and boost builds more quickly.

Does fitting the V3 pipe require a tune?

No. It is a bolt-on hardware upgrade that runs on your existing setup with no ECU remap needed. The gains come from the physical increase in pipe volume: the internal diameter grows from the OEM 63mm to 78mm at the inlet and 88mm through the main section, a 96% increase in cross-sectional area over the factory pipe.

What does the V3 design improve over the original pipe?

It is built from high-temperature pre-preg carbon fiber with a smooth internal surface and optimized curvature, which cuts turbulence compared with the rough cast-aluminium OEM inlet. A machined turbo flange, silicone coupler, and integrated thermal spacer block heat conduction from the turbocharger into the carbon, helping keep intake air temperatures lower under load.

Can I return the kit, and is it street legal?

The kit is not eligible for return once opened, so confirm you have the required Eventuri turbo tube before fitting. Emissions rules vary by region, so check local legality first; charge pipes of this type are generally not CARB approved and are not for sale in California or other CARB states.

Description

Eventuri Carbon Charge Pipe V3 Upgrade Kit for FK8 Honda Civic Type-R

Eventuri introduces an updated FK8 Carbon Turbo Tube with increased internal volume, enabling the turbo to operate with less restriction for greater performance. The design focuses on three core objectives: maximizing airflow capacity, minimizing pressure loss, and maintaining stable inlet temperatures for consistent, repeatable gains.

VOLUME

Eventuri specifies inlet diameters of 78mm at the intake end expanding to 88mm through the main section, versus the OEM’s 63mm. By matching the MAF tube at the connection and then increasing to 88mm, the tube delivers approximately a 96% increase in cross-sectional area over stock, encapsulating substantially greater internal volume to de-restrict the flow path to the turbo. The result is improved turbo efficiency with quicker spool to peak boost and reduced turbine loading when sustaining peak boost.

FLOW QUALITY

Eventuri emphasizes that sheer volume is ineffective without a clean, controlled flow path. By utilizing high-temperature prepreg carbon fiber, the inlet achieves a notably smooth internal surface, unlike the OEM cast-aluminum tube’s rough interior. Paired with a carefully contoured elbow, this geometry minimizes turbulence and preserves laminar flow to the turbo for more efficient operation.

TEMPERATURE

Eventuri prioritizes minimizing heat conduction into the intake charge. Whereas the OEM inlet bolts directly to the turbo and rapidly conducts heat during spool, Eventuri employs a machined flange mated to the turbo, followed by a silicone coupler with an integrated thermal spacer to isolate the carbon elbow from direct contact. Combined with carbon fiber’s inherently low through-thickness thermal conductivity, this barrier reduces heat transfer to the incoming airflow.

Features

Enlarged carbon turbo tube for ~96% greater cross-sectional area
Matched MAF connection and smooth, contoured elbow to minimize turbulence
Prepreg carbon construction with low-roughness interior for superior flow quality

About Eventuri

Eventuri was founded by a team of engineers and enthusiasts with a background in Aeronautics and tuning – all sharing a passion for cars and performance. After owning various intakes over many years for their own cars and being disappointed with the gains which seldom lived up to their claims – they decided to take things into our own hands and rewrite the book. To set a new benchmark in intake design and technology, above all – to engineer systems which provide real gains and then to publish genuine figures. Their systems are extensively developed using cutting edge design, testing and prototyping methods. With a focus on performance, each design undergoes CFD analysis and is then validated at the prototype stage through volumetric airflow, intake temperature and extensive dynamometer testing. They strive to publish all the development information to illustrate the depths they go to in bringing an intake from concept to reality. Only the best materials are selected for each component – even down to the choice of fasteners and fixings in order to ensure that the quality of the end product is second to none. After many years of disappointment with the usual aftermarket intakes, they are proud to be raising the bar and creating intake systems which are setting a new standard and genuinely improve the performance of your vehicle.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
