For those interested, here's some compiled data, in regards to engine failures, AKA blown motors, specifically for base models. Although many of us have known this for some time now, it appears there's a higher failure rate of cars running ethanol on Hondata. The data also seems to indicate that CVTS are more likely to fail on a basemap, whereas 6MT are more likely to fail with custom tuning. Obviously, the sample size here is relatively small, but it is what is... ?‍ For those that find it useful, take from it what you will...
