Installation & What You'll Need
Installation by a professional is recommended, especially for suspension, brakes, the clutch, the LSD and engine internals. Get a wheel alignment after fitting coilovers, springs or camber and toe arms, and bed in new pads and rotors before hard driving. Turbo, downpipe and intercooler upgrades need a tune to suit.
For off-road or motorsport use. Check your state's noise and emissions rules before fitting to a registered car.
FAQ
What engine does the FL5 Civic Type R have?
The FL5 uses the K20C1, a 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder, the same engine code as the FK8. That is why the K20C1 pistons, rods, bearings, valve springs and fuel pumps here list both cars, while intakes and intercoolers are made for the FL5.
Which FL5 intakes and intercoolers does Chicane sell?
Intakes come from PRL (High Volume, Stage 1 and carbon), COBB Redline, AWE S-FLO, aFe Takeda and MST, and intercoolers from HKS (R-Type kit and front mount core), PRL (tube and fin, raw or black) and COBB. Pair an intercooler with PRL or HKS charge pipes and a tune.
Which exhausts fit the FL5 Civic Type R?
AWE Touring and Track Edition, HKS Legamax and Hi-Power, FUJITSUBO A-RM+c titanium and A-S, REMARK Sports Touring, Borla ATAK, Apexi N1-X, RSE titanium and MXP Comp RS systems are listed for the FL5. AWE also sells kits to convert between its Touring and Track sound.
Do FL5 coilovers need an EDC canceller?
Yes, unless the kit includes one. Coilovers replace the factory adaptive dampers, so add the Öhlins EDC cancellation kit or the RS-R EDC warning canceller; the HKS HIPERMAX S kit comes with its own error canceller.
Which big brake kits fit the FL5?
Front kits from Alcon, Brembo (GT, GT-S and Pista), AP Racing (CP9660) and Paragon (6-piston) are listed for the FK8 and FL5. For the factory brakes there are DIXCEL pads and rotors, Paragon 2-piece rotors and HEL braided lines.
