MHI
Where to buy MHI in Australia: Chicane Australia sells MHI bolt-on upgrade turbochargers for Honda. The MHI Stage 2 (part 49S89-A0000) suits the 2.0-litre K20C1 in the Civic Type R (FK8 and FL5), with a 65mm billet compressor wheel and a 52mm Inconel turbine wheel. The TD03LL1 (part 49S31-A0100) suits the 1.5-litre L15B7 in the 10th-generation Civic sedan (FC) and hatch (FK7). MHI (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries) makes the factory turbochargers fitted to Honda's turbo engines, and both upgrades bolt into the factory location. They usually ship within a few days, and we send them Australia-wide from the NSW Central Coast.

Choosing the Right MHI Turbo
- Match the engine. The Stage 2 is for the 2.0-litre K20C1 in the Civic Type R (FK8 and FL5). The TD03LL1 (MHI 49S31-A0100) is for the 1.5-litre L15B7 in the Civic sedan (FC) and hatch (FK7). Check your car's original turbo before ordering.
- Stage 2 (K20C1): 65mm billet compressor wheel (7mm larger than factory) and 52mm Inconel turbine wheel (5mm larger), with spool similar to the factory turbo. Quoted at around 400hp on pump fuel, with headroom past 500hp on ethanol or race fuel once tuned.
- TD03LL1 (L15B7): billet HR2 compressor wheel (39.4mm inducer, 49mm exducer), 40mm turbine wheel and a 5.1 cm² turbine housing with a 35mm wastegate. MHI rates it to 290 hp (216 kW) peak with supporting mods and a tune, and sells it for off-road competition use only.
- Supporting mods: plan fuel and intercooler upgrades with your tuner. For the Type R, see XDI fuel pumps for the Civic Type R. For the 1.5T, see Wagner Tuning intercoolers for Honda.
Installation & What You'll Need
Both MHI turbos need a custom ECU tune after fitting, and MHI recommends Hondata FlashPro. Plan supporting mods such as fuel system and intercooler upgrades with your tuner. Installation by a professional is recommended.
Why an MHI Upgrade Turbo
- Made by the company that supplies Honda's factory turbo
- Bolt-on fit to the factory location, reusing the factory oil and coolant lines
- Larger compressor and turbine wheels for more airflow than the factory turbo
