Torque Solution Inlet Pipe Thermal Blanket

2017–2021 Honda Civic Type-R FK8 2.0L Turbo

Part #: TS-TH-684L

Overview

The Torque Solution Inlet Pipe Thermal Blanket is designed specifically for the Honda Civic Type-R FK8 models from 2017 to 2021. This high-quality thermal blanket helps protect your intake system from the intense heat generated by the turbocharger located just below the inlet pipe. By reducing under-hood temperatures, this blanket enhances your vehicle's performance, response, and reliability. Whether you're a daily driver, a spirited enthusiast, or a performance tuner, this thermal blanket provides a practical upgrade to help your Civic Type-R achieve its full potential.

Constructed with advanced materials, the blanket acts as a heat shield that minimizes heat soak, keeping intake air cooler and denser. Cooler intake air translates into improved throttle response, increased horsepower, and better overall engine efficiency. Installing this blanket is straightforward and offers a cost-effective way to support your vehicle's performance upgrades while protecting vital components from excessive heat.

Key Features

The Torque Solution Thermal Blanket is engineered with durability and performance in mind. Its key features include:

• Made of volcanic rock fiber outer layer that withstands high temperatures and provides excellent heat insulation.
• Fiberglass middle layer that offers additional thermal resistance, helping to block heat transfer from the turbocharger to the intake pipe.
• Internal silver foil layer that reflects radiant heat, further reducing under-hood temperatures.
• Custom-fit design tailored specifically for the Honda Civic Type-R FK8 inlet pipe, ensuring a snug and secure fit.
• Easy installation with no modifications required, making it suitable for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike.
• Enhances engine bay aesthetics by providing a clean, professional look.
• Helps reduce turbo lag by maintaining lower intake air temperatures, supporting more consistent power delivery.
• Resistant to wear and tear, ensuring long-lasting performance even under demanding driving conditions.

Construction & Design

The Torque Solution inlet pipe thermal blanket features a multi-layer construction designed to maximize heat insulation and durability. The outer volcanic rock fiber layer is chosen for its exceptional heat resistance and ability to withstand extreme temperatures without degrading. Beneath this, the fiberglass middle layer provides an additional barrier against heat transfer, ensuring that the intake pipe remains cooler during operation. The internal silver foil layer reflects radiant heat away from the intake, further lowering under-hood temperatures. The blanket is precisely cut and sewn to fit the FK8 Honda Civic Type-R inlet pipe, ensuring a secure fit that stays in place even during aggressive driving. Its lightweight design adds minimal weight to your engine bay while offering maximum thermal protection.

Performance & Benefits

By reducing intake air temperatures, the Torque Solution Thermal Blanket helps your turbocharged engine produce more consistent power and torque. Cooler air is denser, which means more oxygen for combustion, resulting in improved throttle response and potential horsepower gains. Additionally, lower under-hood temperatures help protect sensitive components and reduce heat soak, which can cause power loss during extended driving or track sessions. The blanket also contributes to a cleaner engine bay appearance and can help prolong the lifespan of your inlet pipe and related components by shielding them from excessive heat.

Installation & Fitment

The installation process is straightforward and requires no special tools or modifications. The thermal blanket is designed to slip over the inlet pipe and secure with provided fasteners or straps, ensuring a tight fit. It is recommended to install the blanket when the engine is cool to avoid burns or injuries. No cutting, drilling, or tuning is necessary, making this an ideal upgrade for both novice and experienced enthusiasts seeking to improve their vehicle's thermal management effortlessly.
