No there isn’t. If you only had a cold air intake it would be up to the dealer to prove that it could damage the engine. As far as ecu readings usually only occur when you throw a code. After market mods fall under the magnuson act. You altered factory ecu limits so you are responsible. You might be able to go to another dealer if you return it to stock. If you hadn’t tuned it you might have a case cause cars ecu have torue and boost limiters to precent this. I’m suprised that I keep seeing this with 1.5L. Everyone claimed it could take massive power in the beginner now it seem 300whp equal gaurenteed “boom”.Is there anyway for Honda to warranty an engine after its had a Cai, new intercooler and a tune? Nothing else has been done to the engine and I threw a rod. My car is a 18 civic si with about 22k miles on it, so it's still under the warranty of 3 year 36k miles. Honda says they wont warranty a new engine and I was wondering if there was a way around it?
I think it’s got a lot to do with the way the l15b manages ignition limit. It’s variable. That’s dangerous at high boost. Hondata also lowers knock control sensitivity which I think it’s a bad idea.
