This is the chance we take trying to save some money. As I said earlier my last shipment was stuck in customs for a bit and they needed the $$ tariff fee to release it and my SS number. This wasn't a business purchase it was a Spoon wheels purchase that was ordered 6 months ago. Right now is not...

We are actually on the list to become a dealer for Dream Automotive I will have to check in with them. That’s exactly the goal of the blog, and future ones I’m working on. We can all learn something new, and I’m definitely not claiming to know everything or be the final word on this stuff. I’m...

Appreciate you posting this, honestly I don’t know much about Airtek, so thank you for the detailed feedback. I’m definitely going to look into their intercooler more now as a future option and adding it to the inventory after some more research. That efficiency you’re seeing is impressive...

Appreciate you posting that information! The J’s Racing Hyper Intercooler is a legit piece — lightweight, efficient, and proven. Totally understand going that route if weight savings or JDM gear is the priority. We’re actually an authorized J’s Racing dealer, so I definitely support and believe...

Hey guys — just dropped a new blog over at SBX Performance breaking down why we think the MDR Industries intercooler is one of the best upgrades you can do for the FL5 Civic Type R. ✅ Legit core size and airflow gains ✅ Better cooling for tuned or stock setups ✅ Simple install with OEM-like...

ADD about 4-$600 import fee as of now if they are over 2k

I have and just got Spoon wheels from there and paid a huge import fee so expect that.

haha ? agreed ? wish I planned this out. Just is feasible at this point ?

Unfortunately, my tuner is almost 4 hours away, and I would’ve had to schedule the dyno months ago — there’s a long wait, usually a few months out. The only thing I’m upgrading is to a XDI HPFP. TSP is correct and said it perfect. Wouldn’t really make sense to upgrade anything else for the base...

Technically I have the Kuro with stock fuel system lol I haven’t installed the HPFP yet. That’s the only upgrade fuel wise I’m going to do. But you’re right about what you said haha.

Finally starting a build thread for our 2024 Civic Type R FL5! Been slowly putting everything together and wanted to share what I’ve done so far: See more on instagram @sbx_performance_llc I am testing the RV660 first then the Rampage kit. Waiting on the RV660 to arrive Current Mods – 2025 FL5...

It really depends on the turbo you’re going with. For example, with my 27WON Kuro turbo, just upgrading the fuel pump is good enough. But if I had gone with the Kuro+ to get full potential, I would’ve needed to upgrade everything — fuel pump and injectors. So it all comes down to how much bigger...

Huge congrats on the FL5!! CW is the best color IMO, and yeah, totally normal losing sleep before picking it up ? you're gonna love it. For your questions: Rock Guards: Check out these PLM Aluminum Rock Guards — they fit awesome and protect without looking bulky. Here's the link: PLM Rock...

I have the same setup on my FL5 including @Two Step Performance downpipe! Also bought the Kuro from them before my buisness started. Getting tune by derek robinson in two weeks. I am going to post the setup soon on the sponsors page. You're definitely on the right track with your parts...

Totally understand and thats why I will always stay transparent with my customers about ETA. What does it say when you log into your account? does it still say "Awaiting Product"? mine does. I know buisnesses are busy and especially trying to figure out the tarrifs I would give them a direct...

Congrats on the purchase!! so worth it! Can't wait to see the progress. I am planning on uploading the build we have to my sponsor page (CW Fl5). Any questions reach out!

Also ordered in October for the businesses FL5 and haven't heard back from them. It is also just part of the Spoon waiting game. 6-8 months is average. Its all worth it in the end. Also ordered a Crane Neck wing in October and ETA is June through another vendor which informed me of a new ETA I...

Hey everyone! I’m the founder of SBX Performance, and I’m pumped to officially be part of the CivicXI family! I’ve been into Hondas since the late ’90s, from building a B18C5-swapped Del Sol back in the day to now running a full FL5 build. SBX Performance is veteran-owned and built from the...
