First off I'm having a pretty hard time NOT regretting parting my car out.
I have a 2018 Civic Sport Hatchback 6mt I bought new in October 2018. Around 5k miles (aka 1 month for me) I did the exhaust and Ktuner. And it went downhill from there buying parts lol. I recently decided to part my car out because I finally want to start building MY OWN SFWD race car. For a few years I built 1000hp+ swfd engines and cars at a local up and coming race/machine shop (Victory Precision Machine) and ever since then I've wanted to do it for myself. I came to realization that it is now time. No more wasting money on dailys.
But first I have to say for anyone considering a few of the products I had on my car I'm going to give my honest reviews on them to hopefully help you.
@KTuner - 1000% the best and first investment anyone should make. When I switched back to stock parameters and unlocked this unit I realized just how much of a huge improvement it was. The rev hang delete, higher psi, early spool, ect absolutely made this car a blast to drive. Now ehhhh not so much. Also I have to note that my gas mileage went up to averaging 40mpg with Ktuner, now since it's removed literally within a week it is consistently dropping. (worth it for future racecar life)
@ACUITY - Again absolutely amazing products. I had the centering spring, short throw shifter adapter, and boot collar. Since I switched back to stock I regained the sloppiness and loose feeling in every shift. Really sucks how Honda made it such a "light" feeling in the entire shift assembly. Just those few mods made it so much better and crispier... (worth it for future racecar life)
@PRL Motorsports - I went with their stage 1 intake setup and that alone gave me some light, but louder intake noise which was a definite plus! It also made my car at first for whatever reason feel like it had less throttle response BUT Ktuner definitely fixed that with their "Improved throttle response" quick adjustment. Either way for the money it was still a very good product. (STILL WORTH IT FOR FUTURE RACECAR LIFFFFFFE)
I had other aftermarket parts on my car but they we're mainly cosmetic. Sorry for the long post but im a little excited to go back to my OG days and build myself a 800hp+ sleeved B-series bomber
****UPDATEEEEEEE****
Got a semi-built B18b LS engine from the race shop I used to work at! Still has assembly oil in it! Only ran on a Dyno for a few pulls and their customer never fully paid them so they took the engine back out! You snooze you loose!
Blox stainless steel valves
Blox springs/retainers
81mm bore
Cp aluminum forged pistons 11.5:1
Eagles H beam forgerd rods
ACL rod bearings
ACL main bearings
ARP head studs
Balanced rotating assembly
Blue printed build
This motor made 430hp on the Dyno!
