Hey guys, I know this has been a much talked about subject, but really how safe is the 23psi for the little 1.5t Si engine?
I've officially tuned for the above. I feel like its an extraordinary performance gain compared to the stock tune. I've tuned down to the 21.5 psi for a couple of reasons.
Reason one, When matting my foot down, I enjoy kicking some a** but, I can't help but feel like I am going to throw a rod one day and have that embarrassing moment as the competitor passes me by dodging oil on the ground lol...
Reason two, I feel as if between 3-4k rpms I may be slipping.. maybe i'm just paranoid, or maybe I am just ignorant when it comes to when I should be putting my foot down.
Another thing, I do understand that its a high risk boost creeping under 3k.
This discussion is mainly for the 2020 civic Si, however, input from 16-19 is also welcome. All in all, I feel like the tune is wonderful, but maybe explosive? lol.
Any reassurance would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks
