Thurrock, United Kingdom, 18^th May 2010

Honda Civic Type R FN2 Supercharger System – drive in – drive out conversion!

Honda’s superb Civic Type R FN2 has won plenty of fans for its sharp dynamics and high revving 197 bhp, 2.0-litre K20AZ3 I-VTEC engine, but as with any enthusiast’s hot hatch, there’s always a demand from owners for additional performance.

Which is why leading Japanese tuning house Torque Developments Plc is delighted to announce three levels of supercharger upgrades for the 2006 onwards Honda Civic Type R, designed to considerable elevate the FN2’s on road performance.

Torque Development’s new FN2 Civic Type R supercharger conversions are based on a well proven package produced in the USA by CT Engineering, which has required detailed revisions for right hand drive installation, plus the reworking of several major components to ensure optimum fit and performance.

Torque Developments Stage One Civic Type R FN2 supercharger conversion

Adds 75 bhp – totalling 273 bhp @ 8400 rpm
Boosts peak torque to 190 lb.ft
90% of maximum torque available from just 3500 rpm

The TD Stage One FN2 supercharger conversion has been specified to function with the stock Honda air intake and exhaust system. Designed from the outset with quality, reliability and durability in mind, once Torque Development’s technicians have modified the Stage One kit, the installation of the FN2 supercharger package is a straightforward ‘bolt-on’ procedure, requiring no internal modifications to the Honda I-VTEC K20AZ3 engine.

Key features of the Torque Development’s CT Engineering Stage One supercharger kit include:-

‘Roots style’ screw compressor supercharger designed to deliver boost from tickover to redline
Integrated, purpose designed, sand cast supercharger inlet manifold
Runs at a very safe low level of boost 4-5 psi
Includes a Hondata ECU reflash to optimise ignition and fuelling settings
High quality carbon fibre fuel rail cover included
Linear supercharger boost increase with engine speed to ensure flexibility

Dyno testing has proven that the TD Stage One Honda Civic Type R FN2 supercharger kit adds a healthy 75 bhp and greatly increasing the mid-range torque that’s often cited as the weak point of the I-VTEC engine.

On the road this transforms the performance of the Civic Type R FN2 because peak torque leaps from 142 lb.ft as standard to 190 lb.ft. Crucially, for a fast road conversion, 90% of maximum torque is available from just 3500rpm, highlighting the flexibility and user-friendliness of the Torque Development’s upgrade.

Faster and easier to drive, the TD Stage One supercharged Honda Civic Type R FN2 delivers a formidable, flexible, user-friendly punch, accompanied by a spine tingling, supercharger soundtrack.

Available for installation on a drive in-drive out basis at TD’s impressive and well equipped Lakeside / Thurrock premises, the Stage One Honda Civic Type R FN2 supercharger conversion is available now, priced at £4911.50 fitted including VAT @ 17.5%.

Interested parties should note that the TD Stage One supercharger conversion is covered with the peace of mind of an industry leading 12 month / 30,000 mile warranty.

Torque Development’s Stage Two Civic Type R FN2 supercharger conversion

Adds 95 bhp, boosts peak torque to 205-210 lb.ft
90% of peak torque available from just 3500 rpm

But for owner’s wanting additional off the shelf supercharged Honda Civic Type R machines, TD offers a Stage Two upgrade. This builds upon the Stage One package, with the addition of a smaller supercharger pulley to increase boost pressure by a further 3 psi, larger fuel injectors and extra Hondata ECU remapping, which raises the rev limit to 8500 rpm. In addition, a choice of MUGEN, TODA Racing or HKS induction kit is advised to ensure optimised intake performance.

Performance testing has proven that this conversion produces an extra 95 bhp compared to the standard Civic Type R, with torque rising to over 200 lb.ft, which translates into an electrifying drive. Priced from £5955.75 fitted including VAT @ 17.5%, the Stage Two upgrade can also be retro fitted to Stage One converted cars if required, priced from £763.75 including VAT.
