Updated Notes
Vehicle: 2018 Civic Sport Hatchback Manual
Total tuned time: 30 months total:
18 Months on Hondata Flashpro Carb +9
6 Months on Hondata Flashpro TSP Stage 1
2 Months on Hondata Flashpro Custom E-Tune from Derek Robinson @ IMW
4 Months on KTuner V2 Custom E-Tune from Derek Robinson @ IMW
Tuned miles driven: 47,000+
Tuning device(s) used: Hondata CARB Flashpro, Hondata Flashpro, currently using KTuner V2
Tunes used: Hondata Flashpro Carb +9, Flashpro TSP Stage 1, Custom E-Tune from Derek Robin @ IMW with Hondata Flashpro and now with KTuner V2.
Fuel used: Mostly Shell 91, sometimes Costco 91, Chevron 91, Sinclair 91, Exxon 91. Always 91 Octane.
Additional related mods: Bone stock on Hondata Flashpro Carb +9 tune. Installed PRL Cold Air Intake w/ Race MAF, 27won FMIC, 27won FPB Exhaust, Exedy Stage 1 Clutch and Exedy Lightweight Flywheel for Hondata Flashpro while I had the TSP Stage 1. Installed 27won catted downpipe for about a week and got a custom tune from IMW Derek Robinson. Switched to KTuner V2 shortly after my first e-tune with IMW.
Problems/issues: Nothing major. I have had the PRL intake filter to get soaked by a touchless car wash once and that caused misfires and the car to go into limp mode because it was being suffocated by the filter media being wet. After the filter dried completely the car has ran fine and there doesn't appear to be any permanent damage as this was almost a year ago. However, because of how much of a pain it is to get access to the filter to clean it and this incident, I am planning on switching to the 27won intake with race maf later this year. Of course I avoid that particular car wash from now on (has an aggressive under carriage wash that seems to get water into the fenders).
Other than that one incident, this Honda continues to run strong and all fluids stay topped off and changed regularly. I use AMSOIL SS 0w20 with AMSOIL EA Filter and change it every 8k-10k miles, as verified by the two major oil analysis companies, this interval is more than often enough and I am told I could possible go even longer. Haven't noticed the coolant levels going low. I use AC Delco Friction Modified Transmission Fluid as I have found that to feel the best, especially in winter, and change that every 20k miles, or every other oil change.
Driving style: Mostly conservative day to day with a few pulls onto the freeways every now and then. Occasionally some spirited canyon driving on the weekends. I allow the car to warm up fully before driving her hard.
Tuning experience notes: This is my first real project car, which is also my daily driver. So I am trying to be very careful with all of the mods and tuning that I do. So far so good, but I've been bitten by the bug and I am planning on adding a 27Won W1 Turbo, 27Won TIP, and swapping out the PRL Intake for the 27Won Intake with Race MAF later this year and getting my tune updated right away by Derek. E-Tuning with Derek Robinson at IMW is a real treat and I highly recommend anyone who is looking for custom tuning to use his services.
