  1. Honda Civic Crash mitigation problems

    Don’t mean to sound argumentative here but ACC is not really to be used during slow movements or stop and go traffic. Furthermore it’s something we should not rely on. Unless you are getting warning on your dash my best bet it is perfectly fine (maybe not now due to front end collision) if...
  2. PRL Intercooler Issues??

    Just posted the video above for where the leak was located. I suggest if with in your budget and if you have a compressor to purchase a smoke machine from amazon, I posted the link below to the one I used.

  3. PRL Intercooler Issues??

    Mission accomplished! Removed bumper this morning and located the air leak. The fault lied with the initial install. I had the driver side stock charge pipe adapter that came with the Intercooler upside down….. which caused an improper connection between the charge pipe and Intercooler. Can’t...

  5. FK7 CVT Upgrades

    Yes CVT is very fragile so mods are limited on our FK7s. The best bang for your buck in terms of power and CVT reliability is a off the shelf tune. From my research Phearable is top notch and currently what I’m tuned on. CVT tunes from reputable tuners are very conservative in terms of torque...
  6. PRL Intercooler Issues??

    Just wanted to provide an update. Although I appreciate the above advise, I drove for a month without stressing it but came to the conclusion my car was definitely not acting right. STFT1 hitting negative -25 when I’m on the peddle. Slow throttle and pick up. On long drives LTFT1 hitting -25...

  8. PRL Intercooler Issues??

    Ya know what I took a spin last night in 71 F weather. I gotta say your point in having a difference between IAT1 and IA2 temps pretty much means is working holds true. Although I’m seeing like 10-15 degree differences should I be expecting a more significant difference? At one point driving...
  9. PRL Intercooler Issues??

    This was my readings last night when idling I know IAT temps don’t really apply when idling but STFT is worrying me
  10. PRL Intercooler Issues??

    Your giving me hope! You did make a valid point since temps are down post Intercooler. The O rings were definitely there when I installed I kept the OEM O rings on both OEM charge pipes and the O rings that came with the cold and hot charge pipe adapters pre installed was used to join the inter...

I went with your recommendation about painting...
  15. PRL Intercooler Issues??

    Hey all I just finished installing my PRL intercooler. For clarification I did not upgrade the charge pipes so this was a FMIC upgrade only. I think a mod list would be needed before I jump into what I’m experiencing. 2020 Civic EX hatch CVT (FK7) - PRL Short Ram Intake w/ Race MAF - KTuner V2...

    Hey everyone, I will be installing my PRL FMIC this weekend and looking to see if any users have any tips they are willing to provide.

    Hey all, last week someone backed into my front bumper and did some hefty damage to the left side of my bumper. I tried going through their insurance but I have yet to hear back from them… looking at reviews for their insurer (American casualty) people are saying I’m better off fixing it myself...
  19. How to get ECU Number without removing Intake?

    Not sure if the intake is more limiting but what I did was turned my phone’s flash on used IG camera, zoomed in, focused the lens (play with the lighting focus to ignore glare) and recordered while trying to be as still as possible. I then played back and froze at certain moments. Did it a few...
