Sadly I'm not sure they support my ecu yet. Is the tune really worth the extra money?
1.5T bruh (civic ex hatch)


2019 civic hatchback sport with CVT
Was using the ktuner stage 2 for a while and had a blast.
Now I'm running the 21 starter map with all the most aggressive settings/early spool enabled, aggressive ramp rate II.
The car feels peppy but I can't tell which I prefer yet.
I see a lot of people saying a custom tune is the way to go, but with the CVT is this even worth doing?

Custom tune is deff worth it . If you go to the right tuner they can hook it up but the cvt is a hard trans to tune here is what I got with full bolt ons on a dyno and custom tune mind you the Hatch back cvt hp is around 170ish hp and my tuner with fbo got me 254hp

a full proper dyno chart would be much better.
254hp at the wheels ?

The DTO spoiler really is amazing for $90 shipped. I've put like 15k miles on with it and it shows no signs of wear!

Wow very impressive, did you have the torque dialed back a bit for safety to the CVT?
I havent tuned mine yet. It just came in today. I've beem back and forth whether I wana wait til my warranty is up. I only have 4k miles on car. So i think ima sell my tuner and just get taillights or something
