However, the joy of big boost hits a wall due to the restrictive MAF (mass airflow) sensor housing. In essence, the MAF sensor is calibrated to a specific housing size for accurate airflow readings. The ECU then uses these readings to deliver the precise amount of fuel to run at peak efficiency. Making even the slightest adjustments to the housing throws off the long-term fuel trim (LTFT), causing a check engine light. That was something we were actively trying to avoid during our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePerformance Intake Kit development.

Our unique design will mount directly to the upper radiator support, giving the fresh air a more direct path through the system and opening the box for additional volume. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"\u003e\u003cimg data-attachment-id=\"21656\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/2021\/04\/kezz-honda-civic-type-r-fk8-race-intake-design-plans-2017\/373a5b66-58ea-4fce-9a40-1d470d2c7225\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/373a5b66-58ea-4fce-9a40-1d470d2c7225.png?fit=1467%2C776\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1467,776\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\"}' data-image-title=\"373a5b66-58ea-4fce-9a40-1d470d2c7225\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/373a5b66-58ea-4fce-9a40-1d470d2c7225.png?fit=600%2C317\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/373a5b66-58ea-4fce-9a40-1d470d2c7225.png?fit=600%2C317\u0026amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1038\" height=\"549\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/373a5b66-58ea-4fce-9a40-1d470d2c7225.png?resize=1038%2C549\u0026amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/373a5b66-58ea-4fce-9a40-1d470d2c7225.png?w=1467\u0026amp;ssl=1 1467w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/373a5b66-58ea-4fce-9a40-1d470d2c7225.png?resize=600%2C317\u0026amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/373a5b66-58ea-4fce-9a40-1d470d2c7225.png?resize=150%2C79\u0026amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1038px) 100vw, 1038px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FK8 CTR has already proved itself to be a top performer on the street and the track, but there’s still plenty of untapped potential.

Luckily, Ye was able to incorporate a section of cast aluminum to make the bend to the intake. This construction method allows us to work in unique shapes and cutouts for proper fitment with the turbo, all while bumping up the inner diameter by 4.2mm from 59.3mm to 63.5mm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe turbo-side of our new inlet design wasn’t the only side of this pipe to receive a make-over. TIG-welded to our cast elbow is a section of mandrel-bent aluminum that form fits the K20. We also increased the inner diameter on this side, with a 21mm increase from 62mm to 83mm. When combined, this new inlet pipe reduces flow restriction by 16.7% over the stock component, ensuring that it’s more prepared for the higher volume of air your custom tune will demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"\u003e\u003cimg sizes=\"(max-width: 1038px) 100vw, 1038px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NLT_9864-Edit-1.jpg?w=1500\u0026amp;ssl=1 1500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NLT_9864-Edit-1.jpg?resize=600%2C452\u0026amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NLT_9864-Edit-1.jpg?resize=150%2C113\u0026amp;ssl=1 150w\" class=\"wp-image-22334\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NLT_9864-Edit-1.jpg?resize=1038%2C782\u0026amp;ssl=1\" height=\"613\" width=\"814\" loading=\"lazy\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NLT_9864-Edit-1.jpg?fit=600%2C452\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NLT_9864-Edit-1.jpg?fit=600%2C452\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-title=\"NLT_9864-Edit-1\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"8\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"Canon EOS R\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"1603379583\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"58\",\"iso\":\"800\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0.01\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\"}' data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1130\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NLT_9864-Edit-1.jpg?fit=1500%2C1130\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/2021\/10\/kezz-2017-2021-honda-civic-type-r-race-intake-test-results\/nlt_9864-edit-1\/\" data-attachment-id=\"22334\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption\u003eOur rotational molded plastic design for this race intake is ideal for perfect fitment.

Our 82mm or 3.2″ MAF housing removes this chokehold and comes to life with custom tuning. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"\u003e\u003cimg sizes=\"(max-width: 993px) 100vw, 993px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Flow.png?w=993\u0026amp;ssl=1 993w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Flow.png?resize=600%2C388\u0026amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Flow.png?resize=150%2C97\u0026amp;ssl=1 150w\" class=\"wp-image-22346\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Flow.png?resize=993%2C642\u0026amp;ssl=1\" height=\"526\" width=\"814\" loading=\"lazy\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Flow.png?fit=600%2C388\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Flow.png?fit=600%2C388\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-title=\"Flow\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\"}' data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-orig-size=\"993,642\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Flow.png?fit=993%2C642\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/2021\/10\/kezz-2017-2021-honda-civic-type-r-race-intake-test-results\/flow-2\/\" data-attachment-id=\"22346\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption\u003eWith our improvements combined, our full race intake kit reduced flow restriction by 33.7% from filter to turbo.\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"\u003e\u003cimg data-recalc-dims=\"1\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1038px) 100vw, 1038px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/SpeedRing_19-240.jpg?w=2400\u0026amp;ssl=1 2400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/SpeedRing_19-240.jpg?resize=600%2C400\u0026amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/SpeedRing_19-240.jpg?resize=150%2C100\u0026amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/SpeedRing_19-240.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024\u0026amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/SpeedRing_19-240.jpg?resize=2048%2C1365\u0026amp;ssl=1 2048w\" class=\"wp-image-22348\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/SpeedRing_19-240.jpg?resize=1038%2C692\u0026amp;ssl=1\" height=\"692\" width=\"1038\" loading=\"lazy\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/SpeedRing_19-240.jpg?fit=600%2C400\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/SpeedRing_19-240.jpg?fit=600%2C400\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-title=\"SpeedRing_19-240\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"6.3\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"Canon EOS 70D\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"1569151814\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"170\",\"iso\":\"100\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0.01\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\"}' data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-orig-size=\"2400,1600\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/SpeedRing_19-240.jpg?fit=2400%2C1600\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/2021\/10\/kezz-2017-2021-honda-civic-type-r-race-intake-test-results\/speedring_19-240\/\" data-attachment-id=\"22348\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption\u003ePhoto courtesy of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eJesuel Rivera from S3 Magazine\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerformance is, I’m sure, the reason you are all here, so let’s get right into it.
