Project Snow White 10th Gen Si is now underway! We will be using this White Orchid Pearl coupe to test our PRL Motorsports products and push the limits of Honda's new DI 1.5T platform with the help from KTuner, LLC. First mod? Our Stage 1 Intake system while the dyno is getting moved this week.
Like our past record setting 9th Gen Civic shop car, we will provide baseline dyno numbers and data with our in-house Dynojet Research Inc. We will also be testing and backing up our Civic X product line with before/after gains on the dyno and at our local Keystone Raceway Park drag strip and Pitt Race road course.
Our first impression? The 10th Gen Si is a very comfortable and well-performing car on the street; much more fun to drive than the 9th Gen Civic Si stock-for-stock. We are confident that this 1.5T will churn out some very fun/mpressive power with a reflash and simple bolt-ons. One major complain is how weak and spongy the factory clutch feels. The excessive rev-hang isn't too fun either, but this shouldn't be a problem for long .
So far we have confirmed that the following products currently fit both Si and Non-Si Civics:
We are currently in the final stages of developing/testing our Cold Air Cobra Intake system for both the Si and Non-Si platform as well as our FMIC kit, stay tuned!
An upgraded 6-puck clutch is on its way to us from Clutch Masters as of today, and we are working on narrowing down a proper wheel/tire choice to handle road course abuse. Slicks, skinnies and proper suspension are next on the list to be ordered.
