First Tuned Civic RS in Thailand by Race Chip Gains 20+ HP

[Diversion]

Stock turbo is definitely a limiter. Even around 17 psi i'm having issues with it. A bolt on is in development tho, we should see in soon. I would not go that far with the CVT, you'd only be asking for trouble. I'm going to try running a premium gas tune to see if it will take over 17 PSi and be happy.

What kind of issues?

RPMs not staying steady, power drops. Were trying to figure out if its just my car that's having issues. So far mine is not matching up with Ktuners test car, when on the same ECU flash.

Any updates?

You could theoretically have more power and the CVT could handle it, but you would have to beef up the CVT belt/chain. I'd say once you do anything beyond an intake you are putting your CVT at risk for issues. It comes with the territory I guess. If you have money to mod you should have money to set aside if something goes wrong

I know I started this thread and all, but all your tech talk is going straight over my head. Lol.

Lol..same here.. So does this mean I can get up to say 200hp with my 1.5L..That would be sweet.. Without damaging anything engine wise of course..

We need a Turbo owner that has an intake and exhaust upgrade and see how much further it goes.. It could be an overall 230hp...

Wow that would be Awesome !

I think we could get away with close to 250 whp before having problems.. But just my speculation. Either way, if we're getting 200 whp from a 1.5L turbo, that would be one little potent engine. Making the Veloster Turbo guys and even people with bigger turbo engines even jealous.

Just a heads up, the Civic 1.5T already has tested faster 0-60 than the Veloster turbo, by almost a second in some cases. We've seen civics run 6.7-7.2 and the Veloster turbo tests out around 7.6 i think. Hyundai's turbo models do not perform as their spec sheets would suggest.

But i agree, being able to keep up with a newer GTI (the previous Si biggest competition) would be awesome. Not to mention even keeping up with some of the base pony cars on the road which the civic is only about .5-1.5 seconds off of 0-60 in most cases (talking base version V6 or i-4 turbo models)

i reversed the numbers. haha. i'm dyslexic like that. Still, the new civic would keep up, if not edge it out while being a much nicer car to drive.
