Need help beating an Accord 15 Sports Edition!

[Evolution999]

Hi there friends. I currently own a 2017 Civic EX with a 2.0L Engine and I wanted to be able to outspeed my friends Honda Accord 2015 Sports edition. OEM parts alone I know the accord is faster, but I was wondering what I could do to change this. My thoughts are here:

1. KTuner V1 Reflash
2. CAI

Thats really all I have right now. Please feel free to share your thoughts

Please don't waste your money trying to make that car faster. Unless you add a 50 shot of nitrous it will be slow and even with nitrous it will just be less slow. Spend the money on a sound system or wheels

2015 Accord Sport Edition:
OUTPUT: 182 hp @ 6,400 rpm, 182 lb-ft @ 3,900 rpm
CURB WEIGHT: 3,342 lb

2016 Civic 2.0
OUTPUT: 158 hp @ 6,500 rpm, 138 lb-ft @ 4,200 rpm
CURB WEIGHT: 2,751 lb

Well after looking at the basic specs of both cars, it looks like you do have one major advantage over the Accord, and that would be you weight. Almost a 600 lbs difference. but the accords extra +24hp & +44tq would almost close the gap between the weight difference.

The ktuner looks to be your only option for the 2.0 at the moment. It will help you out a little, though I am not sure what the gains are for the 2.0. also I haven’t seen any downpipe/ headers for the 2.0 out yet, so you may have to get yourself a custom fabricated one. And a CAI intake. Then I would get a custom tune from a reputable shop to maximize gains from your bolt ons. I would also find the lightest 15-16in rims you could find and slap those on to eliminate a good 10-15pounds of unsprang weight from your stock wheels to help with acceleration. if you were really serious about winning though. i would remove the passenger seat and rear bench and spare tire.


After all that im pretty sure you can take that accord with a sizable advantage, unless he is running mods also, lol.

TOCSDKWTTA. THE 2.0 is a fine motor you got a shot easy.

Where did you see 6.08 on a Ktuner 2.0?

The accord is a vanilla sports so thats good but I definitely think I will do the KTuner, but do I still need to get a custom tune if I get it?

Damn, but what if I don't get the rims? Should the KTuner be sufficient?

cant say, but it may be an extremely close race. you may surprise us

with no extra bolts on, nah not really. using 91 or 93 octane will maximize benefits from the base map tune though

I am not seeing any mention of the 2.0 engine on that thread.

You are correct, must have misread it.

If you're just going to race the guy once next year, try gutting the car as much as you can before the race. Remove the spare tire, the tools, the trunk lining, back seats, passenger seat, floor mats, head unit, speakers, door panels. These are all easy to reinstall. Get lighter wheels, as mentioned. Go on a diet.

Seriously? Is the accord engine that much better?

15 accord sport 189hp/182lbft(dual exhaust)
17 civic ex 2.0 158hp/138 lbft
Accord wins every run... Imo
