Civic sport hondata

[Gogoggansgo]

My girlfriend just got a nice 2019 civic sport a whole 26k miles. Manual trans of course, i ordered hondata as a first car gift. I know plus 6 psi is hard on the clutch so what do y’all recommend i flash it with. And is there anything i can Do with the eco button can’t find any info on using it for something else thanks

The +6 is actually a mild tune and shouldn't be very hard on the clutch at all. The +9 is another story.

Hondata also has a "Hondata Mode" which means the car will use a factory equivalent tune when the Econ button is on (green leaf of dash).

Hmm, it looks like she purchased the Sport Coupe which features the 2.0L non turbo charged engine.
If I'm not mistaken, you'll need to return the Hondata and purchase the Ktuner product instead because a quick search pulled up this info:

This is the 2.0L correct? Not sure about a 6psi tune. Try Ktuner.... you can lower vtec to 5700....

Actually yes Narumi, you are right. I didn't look at the pic. I thought he meant 1.5 based Sport hatch. I saw the OP had asked a question in the 1.5T knock control thread and assumed. I should never assume. My bad.

OP, unfortunately Hondata does not have any 2.0 NA tunes.

I'm browsing on my phone and had to do a triple take pinch spread ultra zoom in and then double check Google. With all the black on black, angle of the pic, and my old tired eyes I thought it was a hatch at first too! I also seen him post in the tuning thread too so I was doubting myself and had check the Sport Coupe/sedan specs online.

@OP Car looks really nice and shiny, oh and it's a coupe! I hardly see those in my neck of the woods.

Now i get super super dumb, i thought the sports got the 1.5, even the salesman didn’t correct me. Good thing i used PayPal credit

No worries, especially if you're not familiar with this platform. I wouldn't doubt the salesman knew either, and if he/she willingly knew and kept quiet... shame on them. Also, it is a bit confusing with the Sport initially debuting as a hatch trim with the 1.5t. Honda later migrated the Sport trim to coupe/sedan platform with a 2.0L NA. Although Sport models are based off their LX counterparts, the engines differ depending on chassis. (All hatchback chassis featured 1.5t versus the coupe/sedan LX models equipped with the 2.0L. 1.5t being offered as an upgrade in higher trims.)
Very thoughtful of you to purchase a reflash for your gf; she will be happy with the Ktuner product if you decide to go that route.
Here is a thread by Ktuner regarding their reflash for the 2.0L:

There's quite a few pages of information and questions/answers so be sure to check it out.
You can also double check compatibility on their website.

Happy modding!

Just to add, the 2.0 Sport coupe is a nice car and that KTuner 2.0 NA tune not only has some nice power gains but improves throttle response and lowers the VTEC crossover as well.

I actually race Ducati’s lol and I’ve been around i can’t count how many tuning plateforms. I just feel absolutely stupid because i didn’t check but it was kinda of an emergency she needed a car that day. Regardless in hindsight the more I’ve looked into this 2.0 i like it even more and more. I wouldn’t be surprised with a k tuner, a nice intake or good filter, with exhaust it’ll have some fun with a stock SI. Y’all have been great this is why i like the forums

No sport hatch, No 1.5 sport. When I first started looking I almost made this same mistake.
