Does the Intercooler Hose Kit for FK8 fit the Type R Limited Edition?

Yes. HPS lists part number 57-1697 for every 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R in the FK8 body, and names the 2021 Type R Limited Edition in that list. HPS does not list the kit for the FL5 Type R that followed, or for other Civic models with the 1.5L turbo engine.

What comes in the kit?

The kit contains the HPS 4-ply reinforced silicone intercooler hoses, molded with the bends and curves of the factory hoses, and a set of 100 percent stainless steel T-bolt clamps for installation. The hoses come in the color selected on this listing, either black, blue or red.

Can the silicone hoses handle boost and heat on the Type R?

Yes. HPS builds the hoses from 4-ply reinforced silicone to withstand the high temperature and high pressure conditions of the turbocharged 2.0L, and gives the material a maximum rating of 350F, or 177C. HPS describes the kit as suited to competition use as well as daily driving.

Will the Intercooler Hose Kit for FK8 add horsepower?

No. HPS publishes no power figures for the Intercooler Hose Kit for FK8 Civic Type R cars. Its purpose is to replace the factory rubber intercooler hoses, which HPS notes can weaken over time and fail early, with reinforced silicone built for sustained heat and boost pressure.

How difficult is installation?

HPS molds each hose with the correct bends for the Type R, so installation is a direct swap of the factory hoses using the supplied T-bolt clamps. HPS notes that a molded kit is much easier to work with than universal hose from a parts store, and an owner with basic tools and some mechanical experience can do the job at home.

Description

HPS Silicone Intercooler Hose Kit for FK8 Honda Civic Type R

HPS’s Silicone Intercooler Hose Kit for FK8 Honda Civic Type R takes the place of the factory rubber intercooler hoses on the 2017-2021 Type R, rubber that HPS points out can weaken over time and fail early. Each hose is 4-ply reinforced silicone with a maximum temperature rating of 350F (177C), and HPS packs 100 percent stainless steel T-bolt clamps in the box. It is a sound choice for a Type R that sees track days, or simply one old enough for its rubber to be a concern.

Design and Performance

HPS molds these hoses with the same bends and curves as the Honda parts, so they drop into the factory locations rather than needing to be cut and shaped like universal hose. The four-ply wall is built for the heat and pressure of a boosted engine. HPS publishes no power gain for the kit, and none should be expected; this is a durability part for an owner who wants the charge air path in silicone.

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.
