I have ran custom shrouds and dual Spal fans on other vehicle platforms, but when the OEM fan on this civic turns on, the coolant temps drop very quickly which tells me the fan moves sufficient airflow across the radiator which is the most rearward layer. (I have watched the coolant temps go...

Post #30 on page 2 has some specifics about additional fluid capacity. If running the ETL cooler you would add 9 ounces. If running the large stacked plate cooler you would add 18 ounces.

Sounds like a good method.

Looking good Sport_Hatch_17_412 For those asking about fluid capacity, I found this chart on the back of my Derale stacked plate transmission cooler box. A 4 pass tube and fin cooler like the ETL holds about 4 ounces of fluid. An additional 6 feet of 3/8" hose to and from the cooler would...

I am very happy with having a transmission cooler. Even after hard pulls on hot days the trans fluid never gets above 180F. The stacked plate cooler I'm using is a lot of cooler for this car. The tube and fin version included in the ETL kit will serve most driving situations. I recommend...

It needs more fluid given the cooler and lines increase the capacity. I filled the fluid level up to the CVT check plug but I did a fluid change at the same time so I can't tell you exactly how much more it took.

Thank you for the detailed answers. I haven't replaced my OEM tires yet so the lack of a TMPS sensor is news to me, but the new technology you mentioned sounds like much less of a headache. This is a nice set of wheels and tires. GLWS!

What is the advertised weight for these wheels or what does one tire/wheel combo weigh (whichever is easiest for you to answer)? Did you install TPMS sensors in this setup? Did the OEM lug nuts work with these wheels?

It could be an illusion as the G forces of the hole shot and spool up start to level off, the feeling of power increasing by climbing RPMs "feels" faster than the feeling of a constant power level at a fixed RPM. The constant hum is rather boring compared to a rising exhaust note.

That's the order I would expect. 0-60 is a fairly small window to test which is why the times were so close in the video. Without knowing the knock control values and post intercooler temps, we can't take the time comparisons in the video to mean much. He also had to provide steering input at...

So you found L to be faster than S and S to be faster than D?

Guess it pays to know the backstory of the car. I saw stock in the title and didn't realize he was tuned. Thanks for clarifying!

I'm not sure why anyone is doing 0-60 time comparisons with ECO mode turned on.

When I made my brackets I used the lower passenger side bracket from the Sirimoto oil cooler kit as my template and just replicated it for the lower driver side mount for the trans cooler. Unfortunately I didn't take any measurements and can't make another set without removing what's already on...

As mentioned above the jerkiness and noise was a more sensitive throttle response starting from a higher cruising RPM. It doesn't break anything but you need to understand what each mode is doing to appreciate why you would ever want to use that mode. L mode will keep the car at about 6K rpm at...

There might not be any clearance issues with a factory charge pipe. After adding a little more bend to one of the factory hose barbs on my CVT warmer, I ended up with adequate clearance for the PRL charge pipe. I'm not exactly sure what you mean about running the bypass valve in parallel to the...

For ambient temps of 87-89 degrees, the transmission temp gets up to about 140F-150F within the first 5-10 minutes. After that it's a gradual climb to 160F and then only goes higher with aggressive driving. This holds true for even an hour of driving. Highest I have seen with hard pulls is 183F...

There is room, but not with the bracket arrangement I used. You would need to mount the coolers farther back towards the condenser. Based on my temps, extra fans don't seem to be needed. Not only do they have unobstructed airflow, but they also benefit from the stock fan behind the radiator.

Given the car has a factory trans temp sensor, do you think it stored any logs that I could access via the specialty menus in the rooted head unit? I'm really curious to know how hot the fluid temps got.

I updated and there it is. This would have been useful to let me know I needed a cooler before experiencing slip, or at least to let me know when to stay out of the throttle. I'm glad the readout is available to all the CVT owners now!
