Yeah ive notice a difference in the lower rpm ranges for sure, but there is a slight vibration in the pedal now while in reverse. Just figured thats just a vacuum thing? Not sure but it doesnt seem too terrible

I got a throttle body spacer that vibration is caused by it rubbing look at my pictures and see if it’s the same location as yours

I actually knew when i bought this car the 2.0 wouldnt get much support and everyones attention would be geared towards the turbo platforms. My hope was based off my previous civic starting in my 92 eg then a 97 ek (had built gsr b18c motor with b16 trans) that swap kits would start becoming available. Part of the issue in California is that a swap must have an engine from same year or newer as what its going into 2018 car has to have 2018 motor(so i cant use 2017 k24w because my car is 2018) and the motor has to be same classification. For example I cannot swap a crv motor because it is classified as SUV into civic because it is a passenger car, confusing and dumb law. As the saying goes i guess you can swap anything onto anything with enough$

Just a thought but have you looked into the Accord Sport Sport 2.0T as a option?

I just wanted to say something about the whole comparing the 2.0 to the 1.5t. I actually bought both. I got myself the 2.0 and got my girlfriend the 1.5t. The reason I got the 2.0 for myself was because it is a proven motor that has no problem getting abused from time to time. That’s also why I got the manual transmission to. I was hoping a supercharger would become available sometime considering they have them for the old 2.0’s. But I’m still waiting. That would push this engine to at least 250hp which this engine could easily handle. Hell they even use this engine in the formula 4 race car. Probably because it can take a beating

Part of me wonders if the lack of chatter about tuning this engine has some relation to the fact it's used for Formula 4 Championship racing. It seems like such a great power plant with a ton of potential.
