FK8 Civic Type-R Turbo Comparison between latest PRL700, MHI and Stock on Stock motors.

Turbo comparison with 3 different cars all stock motors and target was around 400bhp for fast road/track use but 3 popular turbos but with similar bolt on mods. Car 1 - PRL700 Turbo Mapped on Hondata with Eventuri Intake and Carbon pipe, Dream HFC, Dream IC with HKS hardpipes and Miltek Exhaust Car 2 - MHI Turbo Mapped direct to ECU with Eventuri intake, STOCK cat, HKS IC and hardpipes, Milltek Exhaust Car 3 - Stock Turbo Mapped on Ktuner with Eventuri Intake, STOCK cat, Intercooler and full exhaust. In summary the stock turbo is absolutely fine for the vast majority of people offering really good response and good reliable power without having to upgrade a lot of other parts. The MHI or similar like the Owens is a perfect upgrade for people that are looking to upgrade to get a little more at peak or if just changing turbos due to age and wear Specing up a build for a circuit car with effectively a drag motor size turbo then everything else that needs to go with it to use its full potential is just listening to the salesman who's chasing his sales target bonus ;)
