  1. The Tuned CivicX Experience & Reliability Thread (for all models)

    Originally, no, it was tuned for e85 only. Just used fuel trims to account for variability in ethenol content (this tune made ~320wtq and 250hp). I switched to flex fuel and the car made previously stated numbers. Tuned by Brent @PFI
  2. The Tuned CivicX Experience & Reliability Thread (for all models)

    My EX-T made a lot more torque than the R. It dyno'd at 345wtq and 265hp in Colorado. The R is much more suited for what I like though, the twisties and just pure driving experience. The cars are totally different even though they share the same chassis.
  3. The Tuned CivicX Experience & Reliability Thread (for all models)

    Hello! I used to have my EX-T tuned. It's sold, I now have a type r, here is the following in your format. Vehicle: 2019 Type r Total tuned time: 10 months Total tuned mileage: 8000 Miles Tuning device(s) used: Hondata Tunes used: Hondata basemap (91 octane) Fuel used: 91 octane...
  4. Type R Overheating at the Track

    Just to keep intake air temps down. It will be paired with a more efficient/ larger capacity radiator as well.
  5. Type R Overheating at the Track

    I just wanted to chime in... I am on stock everything minus a hondata basemap. Ran time attacks in Colorado with 0 heat issues (typically 60-70°F). I moved to Cali a while ago and just did a track day at Chuckwalla Raceway. It was 108°F ambient at the hottest point. Knowing that heating was...

    Hks spec l installed.

  8. Clanking / Tapping Sound when in Reverse (video)

    I would also like to contribute. I had the exact same noise as you, OP. Always had tapping/ clanking in reverse and worse at full lock. Driving forward would cause a similar sound. Found a rock between heat shield and rotor.
  9. Civic Type R After-market Wheel Guide

    I haven't measured, but there's close to a half inch or so at the closest point. Nowhere near close enough for issues
  10. Civic Type R After-market Wheel Guide

    I decided the Cosmis racing wheels were too close to the caliper for comfort. Also had rubbing issues over bumps. 18x8.5 +32 konig ampliform in dark grey. 245/40/18 Nitto NT05 tires
  11. Civic Type R After-market Wheel Guide

    Wow! That's SUPER close. I've got about 1.2mm in mine. 1.5mm is typically recommended, however, discount tire did the "business card check" lmao
  12. Civic Type R After-market Wheel Guide

    Cosmis Racing XT-005R 18x9 +25mm offset wrapped in 245/40/18 Nitto NT05 Clearance on the caliper is TIGHT, 1 credit cards worth of space.
  13. Road noise, tire noise, or something else?

    I did not. Went in twice. Both times was told it was normal. They said it was vibration through the shift linkage. (BS because it is a cable shifted transmission). Funny enough, I just traded in for 2019 type r.
  14. SI vs NON-SI

    I know, old thread... But I wanted to weigh in on the si vs non si debate... I have an ex-t that I bought in 2017 before the si came out. I had a '03 mdx that needed a tranny so I found a 6 speed Civic with the 1.5t in it as a replacement. Months later the si came out. I wish I would have...
  15. Straight e85 on an ex-t

    Hey guys, I know a few we're asking about times to show the power of the car... I'm not a huge 1/4 mile guy but I love time attacks and road racing. I hate I told you so's but y'all can sock it to me, I had to bump my ethenol content from ~65% to 55% due to a slight bit of leaning out under...
  16. Straight e85 on an ex-t

    Thanks for that! Yeah, so it all makes sense, your not losing fuel pressure and essentially you are closing the window at which fuel can spray by using direct injection. Although, here at elevation we have a ambient air pressure of ~11.8-12.5 depending on the temperature. And as you already know...
  17. Straight e85 on an ex-t

    As a reminder, I live at 6000+ feet above sea level and my ambient air pressure is much lower than that of sea level. I am only reaching between 19 and 24lbs of boost. So I am getting nowhere near full duty cycle nor should there be any fuel pressure drops that would effect my performance. At...
  18. Straight e85 on an ex-t

    I am indeed still running a straight mix of e85. My tuner is very good at his job, and suggested keeping it that way for it's anti knock ability and putting more timing into it. I am running the flex fuel kit so I can easily switch between gas and ethenol where ethenol is sparse. I would...
  19. Straight e85 on an ex-t

    Thank you! A lot of time and thought has gone into this, although recently I have been nice down and went flex fuel
  20. Straight e85 on an ex-t

    Latest update on the Civic on straight e85. This is right after a flex fuel kit install
