Does the Charge Pipe Kit for FK8 Civic Type R models fit the 2023 Type R?

No. HPS lists part 17-133 for the 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R only, including the 2021 Type R Limited Edition. The FL5 Civic Type R that followed uses a separate HPS charge pipe kit, so owners should match the kit to their chassis code before ordering.

Does the kit replace both the hot and cold side pipes?

Yes. HPS classifies part 17-133 as a cold and hot side intercooler pipe kit, and the Charge Pipe Kit for FK8 cars replaces OEM parts 17282-5BF-A01, 17292-5BF-A01, 17294-5BF-A00 and 17295-RPY-G01. The silicone couplers, clamps and mounting hardware that join the new pipes are supplied.

How much power does the kit add?

HPS quotes gains of 13 wheel horsepower and 16.6 lb-ft of torque and states that they come without retuning the ECU. The larger mandrel-bent tubing reduces restriction compared with the stock piping, and HPS also credits the kit with sharper throttle response and acceleration on the K20C1.

Will the couplers stay on under higher boost?

HPS bead rolls the pipe ends to keep the couplers from popping off under boost, and supplies 4-ply reinforced silicone couplers with an oil-resistant layer and embossed stainless steel clamps. HPS designed those couplers for high boost pressure, oil exposure and heat.

Is there a port for a boost or temperature sensor?

Yes. HPS builds a 1/8 inch NPT bung into the upper cold side pipe for sensors and other accessories. A sensor or gauge is not part of the kit, so anything fitted to the bung is bought separately to suit the build.

Description

HPS Intercooler Charge Pipe Kit for FK8 Honda Civic Type R

HPS’s Intercooler Charge Pipe Kit for FK8 Honda Civic Type R replaces the factory hot and cold side intercooler piping on the 2017-2021 car with 6061 mandrel-bent aluminum, 2.5 inches on the cold side and 2.25 inches on the hot side. HPS quotes 13 whp and 16.6 lb-ft from the change and builds a sensor bung into the upper cold pipe. It suits Type R owners who want the whole charge path in aluminum before asking more of the K20C1.

Design and Performance

The Charge Pipe Kit for FK8 cars replaces both sides of the charge system, so it suits an owner who wants every pipe between turbo, intercooler and throttle body upgraded at once. Bead-rolled ends keep the couplers seated, which matters more once boost is raised. On a stock FK8 the gain is real but modest; the kit earns its price on a car that is tuned or heading that way.

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.
