  1. 1.5T 0W30 Thread

    Well, let's focus on what the user's guide says: It says, if we are using 0W20, it should not be a random 0W20, but Honda Engine Oil Type 2.0. If it is not possible to get that oil, we should use a higher viscosity oil. That's the deal. What I don't know or understand is, what the hell is that...
  2. What did you almost buy? And why you chose the Civic

    When I bought my new Civic HB 1.5 T Sport CVT, I had two other options: Used BMW 118i (1.5 3 cylinder version) and new Opel Astra 1.6 T 200 HP, which were about the same price with the Civic (Nowadays Astra is much more expensive than Civic) and all had auto tranny. Then I eliminated the BMW...
  3. IAT values too high?

    The temps were measured just after a pretty fast 5 min wot run.
  4. Need help with Ktuner

    Of course I am doing it. There is no problem when using a ready Ktuner calibration, I get the full boost but not when custom Vittuned calibration.
  5. IAT values too high?

    Hello all, I searched a lot for a similar thread dedicated to IAT but cound not find it. The attached picture is after a 5 - minutes enthusiastic driving of my Civic 1.5 T Sport HB CVT. Please do not let the presence of a Ktuner device mislead you, the car is completely stock right now...
  6. Need help with Ktuner

    Thank you for your replies. Unfortunately, he refuses to help and insists that I cannot flash the calibrations and / or cannot do a WOT run properly. All I am trying to do is, before an initiating a forum war against him, to make sure that it is not my fault.
  7. Need help with Ktuner

    Problem is still not resolved. Now, I am asking for help explicitly: Is there anybody, who already has a Vittuned custom tune for his Civic 1.5 T CVT and is willing to help me via DM?
  8. Need help with Ktuner

    I do the key off and on as instructed by the device. I did not really get what you are trying to say, but if you are mentioning about flashing one of the ready tunes which come with the unit, I did that and it just worked fine. Do you think that the way I flash the pre-formed calibrations (by...
  9. Need help with Ktuner

    Thank you very much for your reply. I made two unlisted short youtube vids for that. I am pretty sure that I am doing something wrong in the process of uploading the calibration onto the device. Because, I am flashing the factory tune onto the ECU exactly the same way as I do in the 2nd...
  10. Need help with Ktuner

    Hello all, I am now on the progress of a tune with Vittuned and I purchased a Ktuner V2 for this purpose. On the way of the calibration progress, Vittuned informed me about that I am not flashing the calibrations they've sent to me properly since we really do not see a boost any more than...
  11. 2016 Civic 1.5L Turbo Coolant Change Procedure

    Also the type of coolant that should be used is important. The user's guide says something like Honda Type 2 coolant or so, but I have no idea what it is...
  12. Dent above passenger doors, accident or body issue?

    I could not really figure out whether this post was intended to answer me or not, but assuming that it was so, I have to state that, in my country (Turkey), resale value is one of the biggest concerns of car buyers. This is mostly because cars are very very expensive here, when compared to our...
  13. Dent above passenger doors, accident or body issue?

    This appears to be a long thread, so it is not so easy to get the answer by reading it all the way from the beginning. So please let me ask this: Is there any Civic Hatchback owner who has these dents in his car? It is rumored that this problem is limited to the sedans and I do not have them yet...
  14. Should I get a tune?

    "Should I get a tune", this is the question I am asking myself since I bought the car (2017 1.5T CVT). Possible CVT issues are scaring me, but, moreover, I am now worried about EGT. Last weekend, I got some WOT logs by "torque pro" android software and was shocked to see that exhaust gas...
  15. Rumor: Honda ditching CVT

    I do think that criticism against the CVT is overly harsh. It is true that it slices out a bit of power and it cannot keep up with the tempo during enthusiastic driving but it is the most comfortable transmission ever for calm driving. There are some competing auto trannies that are more...
  16. 1.5T CVT Slip after tune

    You mentioned about torque converter. Does the CVT really have a torque converter? In some cases like departing, releasing the brake while stationary in D mode, trying to parallel park on a grade, stop - and - go traffic with a maximum speed of 15 km/h etc., I find that the behaviour of the...
  17. 1.5 T CVT, radical performance improvement with 30% toluene?

    I see. The problem with ethanol is, it is harder to find. Some legal procedures are required to get it, since it may be used for illegal alcohol drink production.
  18. 1.5 T CVT, radical performance improvement with 30% toluene?

    Manual version is not sold in my country, only CVT is. In october Type R will be on sale but it will be prohibitively expensive due to the extremely heavy taxes applied to the cars with displacement more than 1600 cc.
  19. 1.5 T CVT, radical performance improvement with 30% toluene?

    Hello everybody, The title speaks for itself, but let me explain the situation. Last weekend, I went to a local tuning shop to buy some ethanol to upgrade my fuel. They told me that they did not have any ethanol but they did have toluene and if I use at 30%, it will work very well. THey told...
  20. New Ktuner Version 1.0.6.2 Released

    Hello all, As the setups and trims may change from country to country, I would like to make sure of one thing: My car does not have separate driving modes but simple one econ (not eco, econ) button to be pressed. Is this what you mean by "eco mode"? If no, the next questions become irrelevant...
