Hondata R&D finds limit of Civic CVT

[Quicksipper]

same can be said about the 6psi tune... the video was an example of an over torqued engine never gave specifics other than its "tested thoroughly for reliability" which is no more evidence that we've gotten from any other tuner or tuning company.

Yes it is safe and no issue with scoring the belt. Here was part of our testing regime for the + 6psi tune.

• 100 0-90 mph consecutive acceleration runs up a hill
• 6 hours circuit racing on Miller Motorsports Park Utah
• 6 drag racing events with a best of 14.2
• Several top speed runs of over 130 mph

Our highest concern is reliability.

that would be a testing procedure, not evidence lol

It's said no issue with scoring. So it would mean they had to take the cover off to see.

Either way, they did not release a tq estimate on when it would start slipping. So I guess we will never know!

For those with common sense it's a given not to over tune a CVT equipped CivicX.But then again common sense isn't so common anymore. Thanks though for the video.

I see you aren't worried about this post... I'm wanting to follow in your footsteps, still no issues?

Or maybe they don't know because it simply just failed at one point and it's being spun as "intentional" and "r&d"?

Hm.... I guess we will never know and have to take someone's word for it.

Honda's never built a strong 4 cylinder transmission. We've got N/A K series guys breaking 2nd gear with 150-160 ft lbs of torque.

My boosted b series held 250wtq daily driven with no problems with the stock gears and synchros.

My turbo DC2 held over 500wtq on a stock trans. So that means every single one will last and the trans is "super strong"? "YMMV" must be a foreign concept.

well they over torqued it I'm sure... anyways, most of us know what this video is really about...what is over torqued anyways @Hondata? hello? nothing.

Anything can break at anytime!!! Tuned/Not tuned!!! You can beat the crap out of a non-tuned car it's going to break eventually

I know, for real!!! Give us dogs a bone!!!

So would running it at the +6psi safe? Not issue with scoring the belt?

Here's a photo of the CVT belt after 6 hours at Miller Raceway with the Hondata 6 psi reflash. There is no evidence of scoring. The belt looks new.

How hard is it to replace the belt?
Take the tranny out of the car
Crack the housing apart
Pull the pulleys
replace belt
realign everything and install it back to the car?
