Simple question: I have a Civic Touring 2020 and would like to known what are the safe limits (if any) on revving up the engine while holding the brakes pedal with the gear on either D or S.
I noticed some people debating on whether the Racechip works or not for the Civic.
I have Racechip RS installed on my Civic Touring 1.5 and made a video for comparison. I know it's very amateur to say the least, but I think it's conclusive enough.
Tests were ran in the same conditions, same...
I met a stock car racing pilot who also is a specialist in car tuning that owns the exact same model as I do (for day to day use). He said he would sometimes get into drags with some Audi on the streets (things are wild here in Brazil) and he would raise the revs to up to 2.5k before letting go...
I find it amazing how obscure this is. I have looked it up on Google and couldn't find a single comment on this matter. Thought I was the one going crazy.
I did some 0-60 tests on Sport mode automatic and it remained stationary on 6000 rpm during that time. A few days later, my car would change the fake gears upon reaching high revs. I was doing the same thing in both scenarios. I wonder what caused things to be different.
Yep. I lived in many towns in America. LA, Sao Paulo, San Jose (Costa Rica), and my hometown.
Interestingly enough, the roads here are not the worst I have dealt with, but people here, specifically in my hometown, are peculiar. They are not exactly uneducated, they just never feel like you...
Interesting... is that maybe a drive-by-wire thing then? I didn't have any problem with this type of situation back then when I drove a fully mechanic GM Omega 4.1 Liters. I would push the gas and the car would immediately respond.
Don't get me wrong. I lived in LA for a year and driving there was a breeze compared to the big, high density cities in Brazil. I live in an urban area with a population of 3 million, and, just so you have an idea of density, my apartment is on the 15th floor.
I didn't mean merging on the...
Oh. You clearly never drove in a savage traffic like the ones I'm used to. Hahaha
I get it, tho. I have lived a couple years in the U.S. and driving there is surely much less stressing and insane.
I have this feeling the 1.5T is not so great in two very specific, but also extremely common scenarios: traffic jams and stop signs.
Imagine you want to change lanes and you want to be quick from the moment you intend to move, because a small window of opportunity just surged. You have to be...

I have filled my tank with additived Shell V Power and now it is most of the times dropping rpm to 600 rpm on standstill instead of the 700 it used to. Wouldn't make me worried, but the car is sometimes dropping to 500 momentarily (only once upon stopping at the red light, for instance), causing...
All I've been doing is dragging since I installed the piggy back. So I guess I'm doomed.
Any way I can check the integrity of my engine? We have a very warm market for used cars here, so I'm planning on trading it for a newer one - maybe an Accord, in 2 - 3 years.
Brazilian gasoline contains...
Is my car permanently damaged just because I ran half a tank of 87 with the piggy back? I'm waiting for it to drain until the minimum before going to the station.
