- 2019 Si Coupe
Vehicle: 2019 Civic Si
Total tuned time: 3 Weeks
Tuned miles driven: 1,000
Tuning device(s) used: Ktuner v1.2
Tunes used: Ktuner Dual Starter 19/21 and stock/19, TSP Stage 1 (Current)
Fuel used: Any 93 I can find. Mostly Shell.
Additional related mods: PRL Cobra CAI Big Bore
Problems/issues: Had a weird occurrence this morning from 3rd to 2nd gear that I cannot accurately explain. But the rest of the drive was fine.
Driving style: Fairly aggressive overall. Usually pretty quick. No launches, no brake boosting, no heavy abuse.
Tune experience notes: Like everyone says, the car's factory tune is GARBAGE. The ktuner base maps are pretty good. But OTS tunes are the move. Since switching to TSP I have noticed a phenomenal increase in smiles-per-gallon. Even on Map 1 (stock boost), the car feels completely different from stock. Map 1 is slower than the higher boost starter maps from Ktuner, but the base maps just do not feel as clean as the TSP tune. Essentially, tuning is great, and OTS tunes are also just great. And pairing with a CAI which gives you those sweet turbo noises makes it even better!
