Funk Motorsport Honda Civic Type R FL5 Turbo Blanket – Turbo Heat Management

Turbo Heat Management for Honda Civic Type R FL5

The Funk Motorsport Honda Civic Type R FL5 Turbo Blanket is engineered for FL5 owners demanding reliable turbo heat control in both spirited road and track environments. Designed specifically for the FL5 platform, this turbo blanket helps reduce engine bay temperatures, supporting consistent turbo performance and protecting sensitive components from thermal stress.

How the Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket Works

This turbo blanket insulates the turbocharger’s turbine housing, containing extreme heat at its source. By minimising radiant heat, it helps prevent heat soak, preserves intake air density, and shields wiring, hoses, and plastics from damage. The result is a cooler, more stable engine bay, supporting both power delivery and long-term reliability.

Why FL5 Owners Choose This Turbo Blanket

Turbocharged engines like the Civic Type R FL5 generate significant heat, especially under high load or track use. Excessive underbonnet temperatures can cause performance loss, premature component wear, and even heat-related failures. This Funk Motorsport blanket is ideal for:

• Track-day and motorsport builds seeking robust thermal protection
• Fast-road or tuned FL5 Civics with increased boost or power
• Owners aiming to protect engine bay electronics, hoses, and intakes
• Drivers looking to maintain consistent turbo efficiency and reduce heat soak

According to Funk Motorsport, the 4-layer construction offers up to 3x more thermal protection than standard turbo blankets. The removable design, described by Funk Motorsport as a world-first, allows for routine turbo maintenance without damaging the blanket—making it practical for builds that see regular inspection or upgrades.
