PDF - 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type-R FK8 Charge Pipe Installation Instructions
Important Notes:
- No ECU calibration is required.
- Compatible with all factory-fitted intercoolers - We recommend the PRL MOTORSPORTS intercooler upgrade for optimal fitment and results.
- If using an aftermarket radiator, minor trimming of the radiator/fan shroud may be required.
Technical Notes:
Our charge pipe upgrade kit utilizes a smooth, large-diameter cold side to increase airflow, while utilizing the factory-diameter hot side outlet to assist with turbocharger spool. 4-ply silicone couplers are used throughout the design for several reasons:
-
Heat Soak Reduction: Silicone hoses have very low heat transfer properties, especially compared to steel and aluminum.
-
Strength and Rigidity: Factory rubber hoses are known to expand, which worsens as boost pressure increases. Over time, the rubber structure weakens, increasing the likelihood of boost leaks. We also managed to melt the factory rubber hoses several times during track adventures in our shop car. Our high-temperature 4-ply silicone handles turbocharger heat much better than factory rubber hoses.
-
Smooth Airflow: Custom-molded silicone allows for bends with much higher flow than metal tubing.
-
Optimal Fitment: We found that the factory rubber hoses do not offer the most desirable fitment, especially when paired with an aftermarket radiator. Our silicone hoses provide even better fitment than the factory ones.

Before Ordering
〇 Regarding Import Consumption Tax
At the Shafutoya shopping site, we pay the import consumption tax incurred at the time of import on your behalf, so there will be no additional charges other than the total amount paid at checkout.
〇 Confirmation of Fitment
Our entire product database is based on North American vehicles (USDM). Please confirm whether or not a product can be installed on a Japanese vehicle (JDM) before ordering. (If you are unsure if a listed product fits your vehicle, please feel free to contact us. Our support team will investigate for you.)
If you order without confirming fitment, we cannot accept returns due to incompatibility.
Please note that even if a product is sorted by selecting the year, manufacturer, and vehicle model in the tabs on our top page, it does not necessarily mean it will fit a Japanese model vehicle without modification.
All products have been translated into Japanese using translation software. There may be confusing expressions, so please contact us before ordering if you have any questions.
○ Regarding Shipping
Shipping costs are paid at the time of payment. Shipping estimates are calculated automatically when you enter your shipping address on the checkout page. For large products such as body parts, there may occasionally be a large discrepancy between the automatically calculated shipping amount and the actual shipping cost. In such cases, we will contact you individually by email.
Essentially, all products are shipped internationally from our US warehouse. Unlike domestic Japanese shipping, international shipping takes about 7 to 14 days, so please order with time to spare. If you are in a hurry, please contact us in advance to confirm delivery times. Note that all products are transported by air. They are not shipped by sea.
○ Regarding Compliance with Japanese Vehicle Inspection (Shaken)
The products we handle are basically all designed and manufactured outside of Japan. Please understand that they do not conform to the "Japanese Vehicle Inspection System," and we cannot provide strength calculation documents for the Japanese vehicle inspection system. Therefore, all parts are sold for the purpose of "use on circuits, private property, or off-road," and installation and use are at your own risk.
○ Regarding Warranty
Please check the contents immediately upon arrival of the product. Since all products are shipped internationally from outside Japan, there may be shipping damage to the packaging boxes or products. We will only provide returns, refunds, or replacement exchanges for products with shipping damage, defective products, or products different from what was ordered if you contact us within 7 days of receipt. Please understand this. Also, for products sold through us, we will handle warranty-related matters "only through us." Please understand that we do not handle matters through other companies or distributors located within Japan.
