A guide to tuning the 10th Generation Civic 1.5 turbo

[Ryude]

The +3 psi tune should be fine, it's just 25 HP.

Hondata said they were getting a 17 Civic and going to put 4000 miles on it and then submit the tune and data for CARB approval. If they get CARB approval, the next step seems to be to show Honda a small tune doesnt hurt the engine. I imagine thats what is happening since you should be able to buy a Hondata flash at a Honda dealer soon.

"Hondata said" it has most likely been over a conversation with Doug from Hondata with @dallasjhawk ?

If it does happen, I would definitely be on board so here's to hoping that it gets approved!

Yep, either in another thread here or in an email or on the Hondata forums. Doug is very good about coming here and clearing things up and also teaching here. Its not often you get support from a Vendor quite like you get with them

Yeah for sure. Hondapro Jason said it in his review of FlashPro in a Hondata provided tuned civic that was posted to Hondata's website! Was exciting to hear!

Then in the PRL announcement about a catted downpipe, someone asked about a non catted with a defouler and they said there would be no way to override a CEL in FlashPro for a car without a cat. I asked if that was bc Hondata was going for CARB and Honda approval and the answer was bingo

I'm planning to tune my car. Tuning any car for the first time. I've read a lot of threads and could only understand partial of what was being said. With that said, is it completely safe to tune with one of the pre-installed tunes on hondata and or ktuner.

I read through the failures thread and it made me more reluctant. Are those failures from making custom adjustments?

Thank you for your feedback.

This is all you need to know. That's nearly 2.5 years of tune reliability info...

The base tunes are super safe but that doesn't mean you can just abuse the shit out of it. Driven "normally", and just enjoying the better driveability and fun, tuning is very reliable.
