I'm curious about this. My understanding was that the CVT is straight from the Accord, which features a 278hp V6.
V6 Accords have a traditional 6-speed auto, precisely because they can't handle the HP; it's always been a downfall of CVT's.

The new Nissan Maxima however has a 300hp V6 with a CVT however, so they're getting better.

I had a 2016 WRX with the CVT. Cold air intake and Cobb protune on her. The CVT was extremely rubberbandy. You can find online the max hp and tq that it can handle. At the end of the day I traded it in cause I was always worried about the tranny grenading one day.

Unfortunately our CVT is not from the WRX. CVTs can be made to handle lots of power. Ours is from a 4 cycle accord, so not made for lots of power. But a moderate increase should be fine.

And don't worry Hondalove I'll be hitting a dyno to get my numbers once I'm on a release version with my ktuner. But warning I also have injen short ram and will have a custom exhuast/ downpipe as well, getting it done sept 7th.

That's about the extent of what I'm going to do as well. Intake, exhaust, tires, then probably breaks. Between that and this flash, it should make for a very enjoyable daily driver.

Definitely should. And about as far as you would want to go with our CVT xD

Side note, but the latest release is pretty nasty. Using L as I do, the last update made it a truly beastly 'gear'. I also feel like the car sounds different, though that could just be my mind trying to justify the improved performance.

Mishimoto intake should be here tomorrow. Excited to think that the car is only a couple mods away from being completed.

Major props to Ktuner. I was seriously considering trading my car in for something with more power. Their tune not only changed my mind on that, but convinced me that there might be life after 6 speed.

I just started tuning today with the KTUNER end user kit, this was exactly what i was looking for, very versatile. First tune went in about thirty minutes ago (87 octane tune) feels great. Very responsive.

Agreed.

I've had a great experience with them. They respond very fast to make sure everything is going smoothly. Now I just need to get my data logs in a little faster and all will be well.

Money well spent.

For those that have already tuning: How are they wanted you to datalog? in drive and sport mode? What speeds do they want you to capture?
Also, which preset parameters is being logged?
