    Hi everyone, Im new here and I recently purchased my first Honda. I have a 2018 civic hatchback sport cvt. I dont know a lot about Honda's.. I wanted to know if the earthdreams 1.5 turbo engine I have has i- vtec or vtec or none of the above.. only thing I found as far as specs was its DOHC...
  2. 1.5T 1.5T with real VTEC. It's true

    I thought it was all marketing, but a 1.5t with real VTEC came out! It is the L15BN: 194 PS, 260 Nm installed on the new 10th gen Accord in China...
  3. VTEC

    As we know the L15B7 is without VTEC, but the K20C2 is still a VTEC engine. I was wondering today, while reading around online, if it was possible for KTUNER tuning to make the VTEC more beneficial when running a tune on the K20C2.... Just a thought but since the idea of VTEC allows more intake...
  4. 2.0L Hidden Power at 6250 RPM

    I'm new here so I might have missed this if it's been discussed, but... WTF is that burst of power at around 6250 RPM? It's like "VTEC just kicked in" type of thing. Why would they hide it 500RPM from redline? Can it be activated at like 5000 instead? Sounds like what VW did. It's 156 HP @...

  6. Fuel to the Fire: 1.5T in 10G Accord Gets VTEC

    Today is the press drive event for the 10G Accord, and during the presentation Honda announced that both the 2.0T and 1.5T will have exhaust-side VTEC. So not only is there a 2.0T engine that could have gone into the Si, there is a better 1.5T as well. Feels like Honda shortchanged us twice. I...
  7. How often do you engage the i-VTEC?

    Assuming you have the 2.0 L engine... I'm wondering how often people push their car to engage the VTEC. It's a nice turbo-like boost but has got to be hard on the engine not to mention swallow gas by the bucket.
  8. AWD?

    Ha anyone had their Civics on a lift and examined the under side of the chassis and rear suspension cradle so see if there is room for AWD? Being modular platform I expect to be able to accommodate. Most Honda platforms since the 90s are capable of supporting AWD as over seas Accords and...
