The Honda FL5 intake is the culmination of iterating on the FK8 system to provide an optimized solution that takes advantage of the increased space in the FL5 engine bay. By maintaining a sealed airbox, we were able to minimize heat infiltration and ensure a constant supply of cool air to the turbo. Because the intake is located directly behind the radiator, it is important to ensure the filter is not exposed; otherwise, heated air will be drawn into the turbo.
We also replaced the OEM flexible intake hose, which created turbulence and increased drag. With the FL5 intake, we designed a seamless path from the filter to the intake tract, eliminating drag and allowing for smooth airflow. Engine movement is now accommodated by the intake tract itself, allowing the tract to move within the airbox while still maintaining a thermal seal.
Our carbon airbox is designed to maximize available volume and minimize heat intrusion, resulting in industry-leading performance gains and aesthetics for the FL5 Type R.
