  1. So what's next?

    DWS06s were what I had before and they made a revision to those iirc. After I wore out the DWS06 which are solid enough all seasons I got the Michelin AS4s the all seasons which are a bit better imo with grip in the wet and dry. But if you already did the typical power mods intake, maf...
  2. 10th gen Civic cvt

    Its not the power you should be too concerned with as different dynos machines, types, and all sorts of other variables play a big role. A big thing with the Hondata "Church" Dyno, they used to run a good 10-15% higher in their figures than nearby shops using similar machines. Having a "high"...
  3. HP-TRQ Estimate with custom DROB tune

    Friend of mine was similar mod list. FBO + Flex on his 2017 Sport CVT Hatch back in 2019 when we went to drob's shop for his in shop dyno tune. 226whp/232wtq on 93 oct 240whp/243wtq on e35 blend Obviously numbers will vary a little bit from car to car and due to minor differences in the...
  4. Si turbo on civic sport hatch

    Having known a few folks who did this, if you can pickup a used oem Si turbo (people used to sell them for like $200-$300 back then) that aint too bad of an upgrade. Vs some other "mods" people spend money on like a front pipe, exhaust, inlet pipe, etc all which really add virtually no...
  5. CVT Blew Up at the Dealership

    Definitely sounds like there was either a manufacturing defect which was exacerbated with the elevated power levels or the first owner drove the car like he/she stole it. Or perhaps combination of both. If you can source a relatively low mileage CVT from like copart or lkq, you should be able...
  6. anyone max out a CVT?

    You may need to research a bit into the difference between an auto/cvt transmission vs a manual transmission. ALso, while both the non-si and si both use a L15 motor there are differences in the motors that result in different power curves and different total power output. IMO, already at...
  7. anyone max out a CVT?

    Ratings will depend on the dyno used but a crv/si turbo isn't going to make the same power that a prl, rv6, vargas, 27won, etc... will make. I was dyno tuned by Drob at his shop and put down 302whp/267wtq. My fuel system is maxed out. A little more power could be eeked out potentially if...
  8. 27won Intake CVT

    Its been awhile but iirc it was one of the plugs for the cvt transmission. Check on hondapartsnow and see. Not sure if this is the right one. 28660-R9L-003.
  9. RV6 R365 RED Ball Bearing Turbo official thread

    dang you still chugging along the hatch? I'm quietly biding my time for the markets to calm down then move onto my next car probably in about 2yrs. Gr Corolla looking like a very fun platform to mod.
  10. Civic stalling when stopping

    Eh.. I wouldn't agree with that take. As with modding any car, you just need to know the possible weak/failure points and be mindful. Keep on top of maintenance and be more thorough with it as more mods are added. 5+ yrs with my FBO + W1 on a custom tune by Drob and still running strong...
  11. My Emissions Test Journey

    You need to make sure you don't have a CEL and don't have the code disabled via your hondata unit. So you will need to fiddle around with your o2 defouler
  12. Accord 1.5T DP on a Civic 1.5T?

    iirc, i remember prl said theirs wouldn't fit.
  13. My Monster CVT and all my experience

    AFAIK, its not common for tuners to start sharing dyno charts or datalogs of other customer's vehicles without expressed consent of the owner. I know Drob doesn't do so and even asks you along with the form you need to sign off on when you go get tuned with him. All those dyno charts he posts...
  14. My Monster CVT and all my experience

    Hmmm interesting to see 11th gen doing well. Especially if its stock turbo.
  15. K20C2 SEES BOOST PRESSURE

    Its not "impossible" but not the best solution. IIRC, Drob said something similar.
  16. My Monster CVT and all my experience

    Was your 1/4 mile done via some sort of software/dragy or at an actual drag strip? Curious because I haven't seen any stock turbo cvt setup break below 13.5 besides Myx who had to do quite a bit.
  17. illinois emissions

    will also need a laptop to be hooked up. You can pick up a cheap used laptop with windows on it $100 just to run it for monitoring. AFAIK there is no other way. Ex.
  18. illinois emissions

    No CEL doesn't mean that the sensor is ready. It could just be in the initializing stage which is why the car could go 50-150miles before it pops back up when it finally finishes initializing. You can plug in a ktuner to actively check the readiness. If you don't have one, you can grab any...
  19. 1.5T Troubleshooting Hydrolock? No turnover, fresh oil and new spark plugs :(

    If you kept on trying to start it after seeing water in there, that motor might be completely toast. But you can always try what the folks above stated. Pull your spark plugs/coil packs, make sure your cylinders are clear of water, oil change a few times to make sure you got no water left in...
  20. Civic Si Vs Civic CVT - Who would win?

    Problem is alot of the folks who have the paddles don't know how to properly utilize it to essentially brake boost and get the cvt to kick up the rpms quicker. Its a bit tricky to do but using what the user Myx termed his "2-step" method, along with the up-shift/down-shift on paddles, you can...
