Hey guys,

I just bought the ktuner V1.2 for my 2016 Honda civic EX 2.0L CVT. They only have the 1 basemap tune for my vehicle and I don't know if its just me but I don't really feel a big difference with this tune. Like the throttle does feel less spongy then before when I press down with the throttle response II on, but I honestly still was expecting for the car to pickup a lot quicker with the tune. Does anyone have the 2.0L civic and have tuned their car before? If so, did you notice any difference?

I'm not sure if I should keep the ktuner now or just sell it because for very minimal gains its not really worth the $500. What do you guys think?

Change the throttle response to 2. If you turn on eco and then leave it tuned back to back. It’s definitely noticeable.

I already have it on throttle response 2. You think I should be driving in ECO mode?

No it’s not a huge noticeable change. The main goals is mostly to get the vtec lower, and the rev hang disabled.

Do I need to disable the rev hang manually?

There is a option for it. In my case I didn’t have one . It doesn’t change drivablilty in the cvt, but the 6sp, the rev hang can make fast gear changes less than awesome
