New OEM Turbo Inlet on 2026 DE4 Integra

[ModJPB]

Found an updated Acura parts distributor, so now we have part numbers. My idea is to get the Upipe (17270-6VJ-A00) that connects directly to the turbo and purge mount tube (36171-6VJ-A01 ) then use silicone hoses to an aftermarket intake.

17270-6VJ-A00 look at the fitment and it says for 2025 ADX and 2026 Acura Integra 1.5t so they are swappable!!! Woot!

It is a 2026 integra or adx?

Finally got around to trying to install the turbo inlet pipe and ran into an unexpected issue. It looks like there’s a difference between the 2026 CVT and manual setups that PRL didn’t account for.

This matches the ADX part number, so it makes sense why there was questions on that earlier:

On my car, that Acura “A” breather box is part of the valve cover and tied into the PCV system with a fixed molded outlet. The problem is it sticks right into the path where the PRL inlet pipe needs to sit. On top of that, the O2 sensor and wiring are right there too, so it’s a pretty tight space.


I talked to PRL and this layout was new to them as well, so it seems like the CVT version is packaged a bit differently than the manual cars they designed around.


For now I’m holding off on the install until there’s a better plan, since it’s not just a simple hose reroute — the breather outlet itself is in the way.

Wild! The switched inlet on the CVT wasn't really on anyone's radar. And that it comes from the ADX... even more interesting.

Feel doubtful that PRL and others would make a new inlet just for the 2026+ CVT DE4 unless they were planning on mods for the ADX.

The ADX has a L15BE engine while the DE4 has L15CA. Suuuper curious that they would switch the inlet for the CVT and not the MT. To me it seems like the ADX turbo inlet is almost a "free" upgrade/aftermarket turbo inlet pipe.
