Honda Civil Type R FK8 Turbo Blanket

The FK8 Honda Civic Type R has reinvented the term “HOT HATCH”. Basing its roots in Motorsport specifically Touring cars, BTCC and TCR, the all new FK8 Civic has accelerated Honda’s Type R batch back to the front, and where it belongs. As with most fast hatchbacks, you will find a tight engine bay with little space. The Type R has a turbo which is crammed right behind a radiator and directly below the intake pipework. This creates a few issues on the Civic FK8 Type R, low airflow through this area, Heating up the intake pipework, as well as heating up radiator (lowering its cooling capacity). A turbo blanket REDUCES your under bonnet temperatures, creating MORE usable power throughout the entire RPM range, helping keep your surrounding components more RELIABLE, and helping to ACCELERATE the hot gases away from the engine.

The Turbo Jacket for the Honda Civic, has 1 part which provides MAXIMUM coverage of the turbine housing and allow minimal heat soak. These Heat insulation blankets have been designed specifically for this turbo, unlike other manufacturers which utilise some one size fits all turbo blankets.

The FK8 Civic Blanket is based around the construction of the Mk3. Turbo blanket, which has reinvented the durability and performance of the turbo blanket. With an all new construction for 2020, thicker insulation, and a better all round aesthetic. Check out this video to see it in action on the Dyno!

 

Due to the close proximity between the two halves of the turbo, it is extremely common for heat sink to occur. This can decrease performance output while increasing the work of the input components during the combustion cycle. Funk Motorsport Turbo blankets are designed to keep the hot side of your turbo insulated while keeping the cold side at optimum temperatures. This helps to provide cooler airflow to the cooling system and MAF sensor, leading to an increased ignition spark and higher output of energy from combustion. By ensuring that the turbine sector of the turbo remains hot, less heat will be dissipated into the engine bay, ensuring that exhaust gases will flow with less turbulence from the exhaust.

Note of caution:
This turbo blanket is not flammable. However, if any flammable fluids are introduced into close proximity of the blanket, the blanket could become a suitable ignition source for a flame to be produced. Please ensure that all necessary precautions are taken in regards to the appropriate maintenance of all oil and fuel lines and fittings surrounding the turbo charger and fuel injection system. Funk Motorsport take no responsibility for fluid contamination our products.

Whilst this heat shield is removable after fitment, it is not designed to be removed once a number of heat cycles has been introduced into the product. After the blankets have been heated they will lose some of their internal construction properties, though we must stress that this does not reduce any thermal properties of the product.
