Description

In modern engines like those found in the 10th generation Honda Civic the turbocharger is the heart and breath of power and performance.

The turbocharger is a sort of bottleneck in the engine in which all air must enter and exit. Therefore, a performance turbocharger is one of the most potent upgrades you can make for your Honda Civic SI or base model. We’ve removed the guesswork, fab work, and pain of a custom turbo kit and created a performance turbocharger that installs and fits like OE, but performs far above.

Check out the video below to see the W1 Performance Turbocharger for the 2016+ Honda Civic REDEFINING THE AFTERMARKET.

New for ‘24 is a Ball Bearing version of the W1. That’s right, we never stop iterating and coming out with improvements for the CivicX community and this version is our latest push to offer the most complete line-up of drop-in turbos for the L15 powered Sedans, Coupes, and Hatches.


So, you now have the choice to buy your W1 with a ceramic ball bearing package (CHRA) which is ideal for high boost applications offering more durability for those pushing the limits on the street or if you intend to hit the track and set some blazing lap times. The BB package utilizes high-grade ceramic ball bearings to increase spool and reliability while delivering smooth power delivery all the way through to redline.

honda-crv-turbo-drawing

The design of the 27WON W1 turbo started brand new from scratch with CAD models. Every component of the turbocharger was considered during design for performance. The 27WON W1 Honda Civic Turbocharger is about performance, fitment, and reliability without compromise.



drop in fitment subheadline
w1-turbo-kit-installed-in-2018-honda-civc-si-engine-bay

Specifically designed to fit like the original Honda (OE) turbocharger, the W1 Turbo Kit works with any and all performance parts designed for fitment on the OE turbo. Easy installation and no need to discard or modify the supporting performance parts you’ve already invested in.



breathe easy subheadline
oem-honda-accord-compressor-wheel-next-to-w1-compressor-wheel

A 59% larger compressor wheel is used to increase peak flow and boost capacity. CNC machined from forged aluminum for superior strength, our wheel also features extended tip technology and increased blade height.


Boost pressure capacity of the turbocharger is currently limited to not exceed ~28psi through 6500rpm due to MAP sensor limitations. A larger unit and MAP sensor suggested for those looking to make more than 27psi.


bigger is better subheadline
si-11-blade-wheel-oem-next-to-big-turbo-9-blade-wheel

A 61% larger turbine wheel is used for increased overall engine efficiency and power potential. Our 9-blade design was selected to reduce boost lag common when upgrading a turbocharger while still providing increased flow and power all the way to the engine redline.



perfect fit subheadline

Redefining doesn’t stop at the turbo itself. Each 27WON Turbocharger comes with all the necessary oil and coolant lines, hardware, and everything else required for installation. No need to worry about runs to the local parts store to get this turbo installed. This is a complete "Drop-In" turbocharger kit.



no core charge subheadline
w1-turbo-kit-turbine-housing-casting

The 27WON W1 Turbocharger is built from 100% new performance components; therefore there is no core charge, no delays and no extra down time for your Civic Si, hatchback, or sedan.


New castings for the compressor and turbine housings along with a larger CHRA take the W1 Turbo above and beyond what a reworked OE turbo could ever be.


increase power subheadline
w1-drop-in-turbo-dyno-graph

Showing a true drop-in comparison (Journal Bearing option shown here), we see an un-tuned power increase of +18wHP and wTQ carrying strong to redline. Following this, a tune optimized for the W1 Turbo nets a total of +42wHP.


Carrying power to redline was the #1 goal for the W1 turbo without significantly effecting low end torque. With this new power curve, peak torque hits 500rpm later and horsepower carries to redline providing a total 500rpm extra engine RPM past the OE 6500rpm redline.


For stock block cars moving the peak torque higher in the RPM range helps reduce the chance of catastrophic engine failure due to excessive force on the connecting rods and pistons.


E85 ethanol results subheadline
ethanol-blend-turbo-kit-dyno-graph-for-w1-drop-in

Showing a true drop-in comparison with E85 fuel, we see an un-tuned power increase of +52wHP and +2wTQ. Following this, a tune optimized for the W1 Turbo nets a total of +65wHP and +18wTQ.


The L15 found in the CivicX loves boost and octane, which is why we saw a much larger increase in power with the addition of ethanol over 91 Octane gasoline.


performance CHRA housing subheadline
civic-si-turbo-wheel-upgrades

Designing the W1 Turbocharger from scratch allowed us to utilize a larger performance CHRA (center housing rotating assembly). This is important because this allows us the use of larger bearings which will handle the increased stress of high boost and the physically larger wheels. Adding a larger turbine shaft along with improving the cooling capacity of the CHRA helps create a performance turbocharger that can make you real power and do so reliably for you Turbo Honda Civic.



full hardware included subheadline

We know the OE downpipe to turbo studs are a real pain in the A** so we are including new studs and crimp nuts for easy installation. You are getting the full package and nothing less.

Answers first - If you are on the fence about getting the W1, Get one!

The W1 Turbo is a quality product and one of the most sensible upgrades if you want a reliable daily driver to do occasional spirited and/or light level track driving. I was turned on to this offering from watching Rick The Welder Youtube videos on his 2018 si "Miss Vickie" project.

Here is my set up w/ this Turbo:

PRL: Intercooler + large Cobra Race Intake + Turbo Inlet
Two Step performance: 400 CPSI high flow Catted Downpipe
27WON W1 Turbo
aFE: Front pipe & Catback exhaust
Custom Tune w/ KTuner 2.0
ACT organic sprung clutch to manage power increase
PRL Rear Motor mount to keep the wheels on the ground

Tuning w/ the W1:
Adding more air components really brings up the torque early in the RPM band so the slightly larger turbo does a nice job of keeping the high torque rise out of the danger zone (1.5-2.5KRPM).
Torque curve slides out from 1.5K to 3K and extends much further out w/ less decline all the way out to 6.5KRPM. Power and torque curve is much more linear and is much safer on my engine block. Hard to believe that I would include an upgraded turbo in my tune to keep the engine safe. My mechanic and tuner agreed that the W1 was the preferred choice to increase power reliably

Default Map: 265WHP 6KRPM. 295fp Torque @ 4.3KRPM (34mpg ave)
Sport Mode : 305WHP 6.4KRPM. 330fp Torque @ 4.5KRPM (31mpg ave)
*MPG assessments. Mpg is measured w/ daily driving only. Sport mode mpg was calculated @ 150 miles while default mpg is tested at 1500 miles.

Driving impressions:

Daily gentle driving it's almost similar to a N/A motor but you can really feel the car come alive and pull all the way to 7KRPM. throttle is extremely responsive, very linear acceleration and minimum lag between shifts. Exhuast has a nice deep tone w/ no droning. Sound level is similar to a type R but not at all obnoxious and not turning heads at intersections.

This turbo is perfect mature upgrade allowing that perfect blend between Si and type R. The car is so much fun to drive without any loss of functionality for the daily commutes. This along w/ my suspension and wheel upgrades are all I ever need.

Technical support/ Customer Service
27WON support team - These folks are top notch. There is always a live person available w/o any wait or long queue times. Old school support backing their product; the way it should be! Person to Person!! Even if they had product that was slightly inferior in spec, I would still buy from them.

Thank you 27WON for an awesome customer experience!

Safe to use for cvt users. Great for taking power to the next level. Can push 250+ HP safely on cvt. Takes the car from slow ---> to GOOOO. Installation tip. Make sure the valve arm is in the same location as when it was taken out. If it's off by even a couple Millimeters it wont give you boost and need to be software reset via Honda technician.
27Won W1 is an amazing product and everything advertised. Vlad and 27Won team provide best support.
Just like all the other products from 27Won, fit like a glove, high quality product, instructions, and packaging. Was on the fence for a bit, but know I wanted it. Take to Vlad and he gave me additional reassurance and was an easy decision to go ahead with
the W1. Was an easy and quick install and e-tuned immediately after. I feel like the car is safer and stronger now. I have a CVT and like the slightly later spool vs stock, but after it just keeps pulling. Another satisfying purchase from 27Won. Thank you for a great product, I'm definitely a loyal customer from the entire experience.
This was easier to install than the TIP Haha!! Sounds amazing and a huge difference in performance from stock.
I know everyone can write a review and try to get on the Boys of 27Won good side but tbh I’m writing this bcuz genuinely I had the best costumer service on car parts I ever had, reason why is bcuz not they only help me with buying the right turbo for what I want in my car , but also bcuz Vincent took the time to respond each an every single email I send to make sure I get everything done right , saying this also bcuz I run into a mechanical issue while I was installing my turbo but Vincent was there the whole time , that shows a lot about a company and about the type of person he is !!! So this bad boy definitely took my little hatchback to another world ,fun,fast (for me) and no regrets. Thank you so much Vincent and the rest of the 27Won crew ..
Went from the TSP stage 2 on the stock turbo to the W1. Night and day difference in power and response. The stock turbo starts to flatten out on the top end where the W1 just keeps pulling, especially when running between an E20-E30 blend. Install was easy with the provided instructions.
I’m no mechanic, but this turbo install was fairly easy thanks to 27won step by step instructions.

Currently W1 Base map tune (25% ethanol)
And it’s night and day difference! Thanks 27won for the amazing turbo. LTFT on point, AFR on point, and WOT smooth all the way to redline. If you’re thinking about getting a W1 turbo, get it now! I did and I couldn’t be happier.
Get this turbo! It has more usable power and better drivability. I also have 27Won turbo inlet and the turbo sounds awesome.
-easy install.
-More power.

Thanks 27won
