OFFICIAL Phearable stage 1.5 vs TSP stage 1 comparison

[Civic_Si_Yes]

I personally don't know what that is... Sorry can't go on this one bud.

Yeah apparently the previous owner who sold me the car had that tune. I suppose before TSP this was the tune to have?

seems like it’s outdated now though

Before TSP came out with their Stage 1 tune in the summer for 2018, Vit’s reflash was the only reflash on the market. The only way to get it was to buy a tuning device through them. They would not just sell you a file... so a lot of folks in that drought period after the Si came out going into 2018 bought a tuner from him to get a reflash. After companies started selling just a file and Vit quit with the Ktuner/Hondata crowd, it has sort of faded away.

Hadn’t heard anything back about a inverted 1+ yet. Kind of haven’t been car-ing very much lately between work and other hobbies but the wife mentioned about making the car faster again and... well... yeah. I did send a follow on question to the TSP folks to see. If they can’t get one made, I may just have to break down and get a weak-map-1 version.

 

[charleswrivers]

Still nothing… was out of town for a month or two. Fingers somewhat crossed but I’m contemplating just giving up and getting the non-inverted and keeping the 1.2 in the car 24/7 so I don’t have to swap maps on every start up. I’d don’t it for a little while but my HU wouldn’t reconnect reliably for Tunerview and gave up on it a year or so ago and hadn’t messed with it again. My Z or other hobbies have taken my attention away from the Si, much to its sadness.

That's what I do

You should too

Good news! I got an email from Corey this past week I saw popped up that said they had inverse version of the TSP Stage 1+ available for sale. For those of us that want the car to crank on the hottest map w/o keeping our Ktuners in the car and don’t want to push buttons to get there after starting… this would be the one to get. Big shout out to the guys to make this happen. I’ve been loyally waiting as I figured, given time, they’d cobble something together. ?

 

[charleswrivers]

That's a good way to spend 75 bucks. ? Now I have something to look forward to trying in the "old" car when it gets sent out. It'll be my first power bump in almost 3 years to the day. I flashed TSP Stage 1 (vanilla) on 7/31/18.

 

[Honda Hopeful]

Sweet! I’ll have to reach out to Corey about that inverse file. Let us know what you think about the tune!

Will do. Hoping I’ll see it in my email tomorrow.

Will do. Hoping I’ll see it in my email tomorrow.

Is it for cvt too?

Pretty sure the 1+ was an Si-only reflash.

 

[charleswrivers]

(checks e-mail for the 10th time today… looks at clock nervously)

 

[charleswrivers]

Ooooo... something is in the 'ole e-mail. Trying to do all my Ktuner updates (again). I updated it all yesterday and it looks like there's another version out today.

 

[charleswrivers]

All done with the reflash and managed to get my 1.2 to connect to the head unit again after reclicking enable advanced BT mode (it stopped connecting awhile ago and just never got around to resetting it in Ktuner).

I’ll have the old lady check it out tonight and try and do a spin around town later myself. She just did 200 miles round trip in it earlier today on the interstate with a couple of onramps… so she’d be a better judge at the moment. I don’t think I’ve driven it this week. It’ll be neat to try. I guess, with this and a couple alleged HP the PRL stage 1 was supposed to make should make this officially about 250 whp. Not too shabby.

 

[charleswrivers]

Well… she said it was a success and noticeably quicker when she’s winding it out to do an on-ramp (she did a quick loop on and off I-95). Also said it seemed to be a smidge smoother on the shifts. I set BBG in 1st to 20#, with 5th and 6th at 21#, throttle response to aggressive II or whatever it is, throttle padding to medium, rev hang disable and medium AVSA with that enabled. Pretty much all the same as I think I’d had TSP 1.
