Hey all, first time on this forum. I purchased my Civic 1.5 CVT in 2016 with the intention of getting a manual but took the CVT due to what they had in stock (I needed a car quickly as my previous one was totaled by someone who cut me off). Anyway, back then I wasn't thinking of modding the car but I caught the bug recently and purchased a Hondata and PRL Cobra cold-air intake.
I know the CVT's can't handle much, so I was curious if anyone has has a decent experience modding their CVT civic with an intake and Hondata, and if so what type of power gains you noticed and if it made it more fun to drive. Most importantly, I don't want to destroy the CVT so I was curious how your transmissions are holding up.
I'm strictly using the car as a daily driver and I don't abuse it, never do any power breaking etc.
I know mods are better spent on manual transmissions and the CVT is sort of a waste but now that I have the car, I figure I might as well appreciate it for what it's worth and tune it to get more pep and make it more fun to drive.
P.S. I obviously wouldn't look to do anything in economy mode, but do I need to be in sport mode to engage the new settings or will the mods take effect in normal mode?
OK, looking forward to any responses. Thanks a lot.
