Hondata CANFlex Flex Fuel Kit for 2017–2021 Honda Civic Type R (FK8)
Unlock the full performance potential of your Honda Civic Type R (FK8) with the Hondata CANFlex Flex Fuel Kit — the ultimate flex fuel solution engineered to deliver unmatched power, torque, and throttle response. This system allows your turbocharged 2.0-liter K20C1 engine to safely and efficiently run on E85, pump gas, or any ethanol blend in between, automatically adjusting fuel and ignition maps for optimal performance and drivability. With Hondata CANFlex, you can experience dramatic horsepower gains and earlier turbo spool without compromising reliability or daily usability.
Designed and manufactured by Hondata, the CANFlex system integrates seamlessly with the factory ECU and FlashPro Manager software (version 4.3.3 beta or later). Each calibration is expertly developed for stock FK8 Civic Type R models equipped with the factory intake and exhaust system, providing smooth power delivery and a consistent torque curve across the rev range. Whether you’re commuting or carving corners, CANFlex transforms your Type R into a more responsive and exhilarating machine.

Performance Benefits
Hondata CANFlex doesn’t just add horsepower — it redefines how your Civic Type R drives. With a flatter torque curve, the car becomes more predictable, balanced, and engaging to drive. The E85’s 100–105 octane rating acts as an in-cylinder intercooler, helping reduce knock and allowing for higher boost and ignition advance. Drivers can expect earlier turbo response, increased torque throughout the powerband, and improved high-RPM pull. Simply fill up with pump gas, E85, or any blend in between — CANFlex automatically adapts to maximize power output and efficiency.
