So you plan on building this engine and start pushing yours till you blow it, or planning to swap before boom boom ? :)

nope I do not intend to blow anything up haha.
the spare engine will be built then placed onto car with minimal downtime.
push yes a little but not too much for now.
have to wait & see there'll be quite a bit of work needed for this little project & lots of testing will be done too.

had some dyno time for myself . . . i think i may stop here for this version of hybrid turbo so far it's been doing well but sadly the CVT trans is quite limited.
I've got some other parts on it's way but there has been some delays, we'll see how it goes later on.
Here's a short video just a while ago when i was on the dyno tuning the car :

decent power & torque for a cvt transmission.

Great gains from this fine tuning session!
So, from what I've seen on your Facebook group, your dyno measures bone stock cars around 165-170 whp and they gain around 40 whp after custom tuning, which is very nice results and in line with what we know about a quality tune.
This means also that your custom turbo allowed you to gain around 40 whp on top of that, reaching almost 80whp above stock.
This is fantastic power output and I bet your CVT just rocks
Keep up the good work captain!!!

much thanks for the kind words @varge . some stock cars have lesser some more based on many factors & probably some "luck" but yes on average they're around 150-170 whp depending on the bolt-ons they have locally over here.

yes the turbo upgrade yields a significant gain but gotta be careful on the CVT's & the base engine conrods.

I normally do not drive too fast on the streets but i do bring it up to the hills once in a while for some fun, R&D & to collect some logs & looking forward to hit the F1 track when I have the time & opportunity.

some have commented that it's a bad tune due to the wavy dyno graph (the engine will blow haha), well probably it's a different brand/type/calibration of dyno used as a comparison but if looking at the data points it's not as bad (imo) but to some a very smooth & beautiful graph is a good & perfect tune to a certain extent i do agree. But if they look hard enough even the stock power runs before any flash it's about the same or worse on the same dyno & run conditions, so probably honda engineers/tuners must be doing something not right :p
*apologies for the ranting, well we can't stop people from having their own opinions*

still lots to learn & to improve, criticism are always welcomed so that i can improve & make better tunes not only for myself.

much thanks again for the support & with support like yours means alot & to keep me going :)

thanks mate, sadly it is not easy to get eth over here & certain ecu from different regions may not have as much features as others do but looking forward to get in the near future from @KTuner the man himself.

Excuse me, *unknown made in chinese intercooler* ? For real??
Why not using branded intercooler like PRL, HKS, INJEN or something else?
Sorry I am shocked ?

My guess would be availability and cost in their current locale

uninstalled stage 2 turbo. it did very well on the CVT but again sadly my ride is a CVT over all but it did an awesome job.
Stage 1 turbo installed yesterday with some minor adjustments & it is performing very well based on my "butt" dyno but it does spools amazingly fast & probably faster than stock with the upgraded billet compressor wheel.
Might hit the dyno today for some touch ups (if needed) & see how it is compared to Stage 2 Turbo.

the piston are there for decoration only & delivered it to someone who needs it because he blew his engine.

Honda Civic 10th gen CAPTS KTuner Custom Tunes, Turbo, BTK, Engine, GB & Gear Set 1600403499759

Ordered another set of JE pistons for my upcoming engine build but the stock motor even over here we get only the base engine it still performs well with proper tuning.


Looking forward to more features to be added soon for ECU's at this part of the world by @KTuner & as always appreciate the awesome support.
