PRL Motorsports Turbocharger Upgrades: Drop-In Power for Honda & Acura Platforms

When Honda and Acura enthusiasts want to push their turbocharged engines to the limit without the headaches of a full turbo swap, PRL Motorsports delivers purpose-built solutions that are as streetable as they are capable. The brand's approach to turbocharger upgrades is rooted in real-world engineering — every product is developed with a relentless focus on fitment, spool response, and maximum power potential, all while keeping the installation as approachable as possible.

The P700: PRL's Flagship Drop-In Turbocharger

The crown jewel of PRL Motorsports' forced induction lineup is the P700 Drop-In Turbocharger Upgrade. The PRL Motorsports P700 is designed for Honda and Acura 2.0L Turbo platforms, offering 600+ horsepower capabilities for Honda's K20C engines without sacrificing spool. That balance of top-end power and low-RPM responsiveness is what separates the P700 from other big-power turbo upgrades on the market.

The internal construction reflects PRL's dedication to premium materials and precision manufacturing. A billet 304 stainless steel, dual ceramic ball bearing CHRA was implemented for reduced weight and improved durability, while factory oil and coolant lines are retained along with the factory bypass valve and wastegate actuator — and increased cooling capacity is provided by the CHRA's larger water jacket. This thoughtful integration means owners aren't re-engineering their entire cooling or oil system just to run a bigger turbo.

The High Efficiency compressor wheel is significantly taller than most billet compressor wheel upgrades and features the latest aerodynamic technology — including a tapered tip exducer and cutback design on the blade top edge — for optimal spool and power, while the larger compressor wheel diameter compared to the P600 allows for drastically decreased shaft speeds.

One standout detail that Honda owners upgrading non-Civic Type-R platforms will appreciate: the P700 features an integrated oxygen sensor bung in its turbine housing for 2.0T Accord, TLX, and RDX customers, meaning those owners do not need to purchase an FK8 Civic Type-R-style downpipe for installation, unlike other drop-in turbocharger upgrades on the market.

Engineering DNA Built on the Track

PRL's story began in 2007, led by Patrick R. Linn just outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with a focus on racing, performance, and innovation — and the team quickly earned a reputation for engineering excellence, building high-powered race cars and pushing boundaries in motorsports. By 2011, PRL Racing became PRL Motorsports, expanding from trackside tuning into full-fledged product development and fabrication. That racetrack heritage isn't just branding — it's the foundation of every design decision, including their turbocharger program.

Founded in 2007, PRL is the preferred manufacturer and supplier of high-quality performance parts for Honda and Acura platforms, developing intercoolers, intake and exhaust systems, turbocharger upgrades, flex fuel sensor kits, and more — proudly made in the USA.

Warranty and Compatibility Coverage

PRL backs their turbocharger upgrades with real warranty support. PRL Motorsports-branded turbocharger upgrades are subject to a 1-year / 12,000-mile limited warranty, acknowledging the high-power, maximum-effort nature of the application and normal wear and tear. The P700 is compatible with a broad range of vehicles, including the 2017+ Honda Civic Type-R FK8 and FL5, 2024+ Acura Integra Type-S, and 2018–2022 Honda Accord 2.0T.

Whether you're building a track-focused FK8 Civic Type-R or chasing high horsepower from a daily-driven Accord 2.0T, PRL Motorsports' turbocharger upgrades offer a proven, well-engineered path to serious power gains with a genuine drop-in installation experience.
