- 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback
Update:Update:
Total tuned time: 5 months
Total tune mileage: 2,285 miles
Tuning device: Hondata Flashpro
Tunes used: Basemap +3psi Hondata tune with modified torque limit table, TSP Stage 1, Self-made 19 PSI (Current)
Fuel used: 98 RON (93 Octane?)
Additional engine mods: None today but plan to use aftermarket replacement filter, freeflow DP, and upgrade intercooler.
Problems/issues: I'm very concern with the fact many of tuned Civic in my country experience damaged conrod with boost higher than 21 PSI. I know this might sounded funny for most of you here but this is fact in my country. I found out TSP Stage 1 peak boost at about 23 PSI with occasional brief over-boost to 26 PSI. I also found out torque limit was set higher than 250 nm from 3,500 RPM and up. Due to these concerns, I decided to tune the engine myself.
Driving style: Stop-and-go traffic 95% of the time with occasional morning run (05:30 AM) weekdays and 06:00 AM in the weekend.
Tuning experience notes: I love my 19 PSI custom tune. It's not as fast as TSP Stage-1 but it is fun in its own way. Car feels like a bit quicker than stock below 2,500 RPM but past 2,750 RPM, the car picks up speed nicely. "Torque limit" is within Hondata spec of 250 nm maximum torque limit. I also tune the AFM so my STFT looks much decent (betwen -10% and 0) than any canned tune including Hondata basemap (between -15% and -4%). If I ever to perfect the tune with the help of professional tuner, I will definitely use my custom 19 PSI tune as the base and only ask to perfect the AFM, as well as improve fuel and ignition tuning, without changing boost parameters.

Tuning experience notes: Steve from E-Tunez helped me customizing my tune. We used my 19 PSI custom tune as the base tune. Now the car run perfectly and the tune is really crafted for the car. No more knock & fuel concerns. Power delivery is smoother.
