Might not be the BOV in this case...but they have been an issue. Good luck, that sucks to get only half the boost.

Congratulations! This car clearly went to the right new owner!

For $ 195 and about a four hour or less install, not bad! I The fact it sits taller than the original doesn't seem to be an issue. And from the comments, all positive, it works a treat.

Wow, first I have hard of that issue, usually Hondas are pretty bullet proof for a long, long time.

I have been told for my 2018 FK8 by local Honda dealers in AZ that it will be fall before they have the fix for the fuel pump issue. My thinking is that It is not a simple matter of putting back in the exact same original equipment - Honda had to engineer and manufacture a fix, that won't fail...

If and when I mod my FK8 I will be sure to add any experience to that thread. Long term experience of others would really help those of us on the fence about tuning to feel more comfortable making the leap.

On 2017 SI purchased new that August- 52,000 miles when traded in early 2020. So a lot of miles. that works out to about 20,800 miles /yr. The crazy thing? It was only just on its second set of tires (upgraded Michelin Pilot Sport 4's about six months before trading), and on its original pads...

ON my 2017 SI, I eventually replaced the stock Goodyear tire with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 summer tires and noticed a huge difference. That said, i have the original Continental Extreme Contact 6-not the actual original tires! just the same model- on my '18 Type rand really like the...

One thing that often gets overlooked when discussing oil change intervals: Your oil life is one thing, the life span of your oil filter is another. A mechanic I know pointed this out to me. So maybe your oil is still good, but your oil filter isn't. In any case, cheap insurance.

I admit it - you got me. Good one.

The FL5 cooling is better mainly because the front of the car allows more air in - not because of the stock intercooler. So kind of a moot question. As is, while better than the FK8, not sure Honda totally solved the cooling issue in the FL5 from what I hear....

Great dog and car pics, now I miss my '17 AB SI. I never got to mod it, as I traded it for an FK8, but I will enjoy seeing your build journey.

Excellent overview!

That seems low for your model. Given that it should be more economical than an SI or Type R. Are you doing a lot of stop and go short trips? That would kill your mileage. The tuner is the obvious suspect, but there are people on this forum who can address that better than yours truly.

This 68 year old boomer had a '17 SI - yes it is the rev hang.

27.7 mpg currently which is very good for an FK8. The SI did a good 5 -7 mpg better. the mpg overall has gone up since I bought it four years ago - so apparently breaking it in helps. I alternate between 'restrained' driving with the cruise control on where appropriate, and more spirited...

Very cool! If I had not traded my '17 SI in, I would be taking you up on this offer. This is a no-brainer for any SI owner. Major visual improvement. Based on early dyno results, this switch alone should add 10-15 horsepower and 20 torques, at the shifter.

Yeesh! That is not paint chipping, that is paint peeling. Someone did a really bad paint job. I probably have more chips than a Nestle Tollhouse cookie package, but talking about things you have to look really close to see, from rocks, etc. Microchips, not macro peels. Honda is not known for...

That is interesting - I had the exact opposite experience. The SI seats eventually required me to use a special leather car cushion to keep it from hurting my back and butt, after the first 20,000 miles. I doubt very many people would claim the SI seats are better in any way - other than...

Hmmm. Love the speed I can drive at on the highway, but a curvy backroad is still the gold standard. I live in a more suburban / rural area outside a major city and have some great roads that are neither 'city' or highway' that are a treat. If by 'city' you mean driving in a densely...
