Vehicle: 2019 si
Total tuned time: 2 years
Total tuned mileage: 35,000+ miles
Tuning device(s) used: KTuner V1.2
Tunes used: TSP 1, TSP 2
Fuel used: 4 gal 91, 6 gal e85 = 35-40% ethanol. With 91 no ethanol I can't get below .60 k count. With even 25% ethanol or more I've never seen anything but .49, ever. Makes me want to custome tune because you can advance so much on ethanol.
Additional engine mods: FBO, clutch and flywheel
Problems/issues: head gasket leak between the siamese bored cylinders. There's like .200 gap between cylinders which is too close to begin with but then there's a cooling channel right through the center on the gasket so you have two tiny .060 slivers of gasket between each cylinder!
I don't worry about anything except the head gasket again and the weak 4th gear and the syncro zap I hear if I shift 4th too quick.
Combination of lame road trips and ripping to redline a lot and even some 160mph runs.
