Hello Everyone!
I have a 2017 civic sport hatchback and my CVT runs around 210-220 on my tune after a long drive, an hour and 40 mins+. What are your temps for your CVTs?

When I'm cruising around town, I usually regulate around 160-170, but when I push it for a bit (especially during the summer months) I can easily see temps up to 210. It usually drops down quickly after chilling for a bit. I always make sure it drops back down to <190 before I turn off the car; I don't know if that is necessary but it gives me peace of mind.

Fahrenheit btw.

I was driving for a hour yesterday, 80% freeway and was cruising around 90mph and ocassionally floored it (around 50 % throttle pressure) and the highest I had was 220 F. The mods I have at the moment are:
1. PRL cobra intake (race maf)
2. catless downpipe + frontpipe
3. flex fuel kit (phearable 2.5R tune)
4. MAperformance fmic + charge pipes

I'm practically fbo but pushing more power than most cvts, so i'm not sure if that plays a role.

I've gotten up to 240 before on a road trip in the mountains. Heard another on the forums got his up to 270. Usually in spring / summer months I hit 170-220 when I'm pushing it and 140-150 cruising.
