Compare PRL's two drop-in turbo upgrades for the Honda Civic: the P700 for 2.0T engines and the 4847RS for 1.5T engines. Learn which fits your build and goals.

Quick answer

Choose the PRL 4847RS Drop-In Turbo if you drive an 11th-gen 1.5T Civic or Integra; pick the P700 Drop-In Turbo for any 2.0T Honda or Acura model. The right choice depends entirely on your engine platform.

Why engine size dictates your turbo choice

PRL designed each turbo upgrade for a specific engine family. The 4847RS targets the 1.5T found in 2022-2026 Honda Civic and 2023-2026 Acura Integra. The P700 covers all 2.0T variants across Civic Type-R, Accord, RDX, TLX, and Integra DE5 Type-S. Installing the wrong one isn't possible—they physically fit different intake and exhaust housings.

Both are true drop-in replacements. Neither requires additional hardware modifications beyond the turbo swap itself. However, the P700 explicitly requires ECU calibration (a basemap is available in Hondata for FK8 Civic Type-R), while PRL notes the 4847RS delivers 'explosive responsiveness' without mentioning mandatory calibration in the overview. Verify your ECU support before purchasing.

Price difference reflects engine scale

The 4847RS lists at $1,189.30 (compare at $1,699.00), while the P700 is $2,024.25 (compare at $2,699.00). The higher cost of the P700 aligns with the larger 2.0T engine's turbocharger size and flow capacity. Budget-conscious 1.5T owners will appreciate the lower entry point.

Trade-offs: P700 vs 4847RS

Engine compatibility: 4847RS fits 2022-2026 1.5T Civic and Integra. P700 fits 2017+ 2.0T Civic Type-R, Accord, RDX, TLX, and Integra DE5 Type-S. Check your engine code first. There is no overlap between the two.
Installation effort: Both are drop-in. The 4847RS requires no extra hardware. The P700 also drops in but mandates ECU calibration. If you don't want to tune, the 4847RS is simpler—but you still need a basemap for the P700.
Performance character: PRL states the 4847RS delivers 'explosive responsiveness' for daily driving. The P700 is built for higher flow on the larger 2.0T, offering more headroom for tuned power. Choose based on your power target: 4847RS for responsive daily, P700 for serious track or high-horsepower builds.
