360 whp for a 1.5 L engine is freakin' insane! :cool:
I remember some earlier discussions here when people were saying it won't be able to handle even 300... Of course, "reliably handle" is where it's at, who knows how long this setup will last (with the stock engine components), but still this is very impressive.

Great video. Where's Matt? Looks and drives like a proper Type R. Hope Honda gets it right by toning it (exterior) down on the 2019 base R; it'll be my last ICE car before slowly converting my current fleet to EV or Hybrid.

I believe Matt hired this guy to do the lower-end cars on the smoking tire so he can just focus on the higher end ones.

Great episode showcasing the Civic SI's potential. It's nice to see people pushing the limits of the 1.5T. Honda must have really overbuilt this engine.

Engine's internals are stock. It's a full bolt on car, including turbo, with a fuel mix tune. I don't believe at the time of this video he had his MoTec ECU installed, but its even more beastly now.

So Eman, is yours not setup on more aggressive tune and higher boost for Sport Mode? I feel cheated that he was running around without sport mode on:/

"This guy" is Zack Klappman , he's also an owner of the Smoking Tire , and has been with Farah since the beginning
