Ktuner Test Stress Car in 2016 !

[NewCivicRs]

Hi @KTuner
I wonder how is the car doing until now?
Back in 2016, Ktuner bought new civic with CVT to do stress test and some abuse to see how it is doing.

Anybody know how the car is doing right now? How is the CVT, still good?

I think they sold it and got a Si.

What? You sure?

@KTuner Was the car's engine/cvt blown away? Or everything was fine?

 

[KTuner]

We did trade it in for an Si so we could tackle the MT and get rev hang disable figured out. The CVT car was in perfect working order when we traded it in. There are people who have posted in the reliability thread that have many more miles than we did at that point.

Thank you for the clarification.
One more question, please answer Sir..
Does running richer like mine have bad effects in long term?
If yes, what are those?

Our top mileage car has 101,000 tuned miles and going strong.

Thanks for conduted the survey ?

If you want to see how the vehicle is doing with richness check the spark plugs to see if they're still clean after different mileage intervals.

Thank you.
So it just affecting sparkplugs wear quicker than it should?

Then I can sleep well tonight ?
I'll get Custom Tune later together with exhaust upgraded.
Thank you Mr. J.R from @KTuner

Hi bro, thank you for coming ?
the man himself, appreciate it bro.

May I ask few things?

How much the power you have?
Do you often WOT?
Is your AFR balance or running rich?

I only have Ktuner as a mod. Just running the 19/21 psi map.
WOT, maybe not daily, but always up for any challenge when it arises. I have also at least a dozen times Wot and noticed no slipping from a stop.
Honestly, never have looked at any data logs.

turns out that yours is Civic Si manual transmission.
I wonder about Civic Non Si CVT, would it be as strong as Si version ?

 

[gtman]

He has a non-Si CVT.
