yep... all these responses confirm what i said in my first post. lmao

Even im tuned on hondata and will still admit it isnt safe for the stock rods, but its a risk im willingly taking. the rods in our blocks are relatively weak.

Everyone's so quick to jump on the negative bandwagon. There's always a chance with ANY tune that an engine can grenade itself from the added stress from it regardless of how "unlikely" it is with an OTS tune or regardless if it's abused or not. Always assume added risk when you're running anything more than what factory has indicated.

It took MAPerformance 500 whp and about 100 pulls on the track to throw a rod. A little pussy canned tune ain't going to blow an engine

That's cute. Post your data logs so we can verify the "Tune" did it and not you. Go ahead, I'll wait.

With how much power some of the Si owners that are running YT channels are pushing out, i call BS on it being the tunes fault. I also smell a money shift or two that didn't immediately wreck things and then it all finally caught up with the OP.

Also, to those that claim the engine can't take it (A small tune), the Si is NOT the exact same 1.5T that is in the rest of the Civics with a 1.5T. If any of the Civics can take a light tune, it is the Si.

Show me a thread where at the end of it, the conclusion was an off the shelf, unfucked with, non-abused, non-overreved, non-miss shifted, normally driven tuned car blew it's motor. I'll wait.

The first post is all about "gosh, I was idling and my car just blew". Then the truth comes out and they were shooting flames out of their tail end.

If you look at every case of a blown engine, it's been from
Custom tunes
Running E30, E40, or E85
Larger turbos
Bolt-on's
Combination of bolt-on's and tunes

Find me one blown engine or thrown rod where they were only running Ktuner base maps or only TSP stage 1 tune.

There has been several blown engines on this forum, and not one of them had only a canned tune. Not one

Unless they money shifted

The only way you can prove its from a canned tune is thru datalogs. Show me some...

Following, I don't think OP has posted since original post, curious on outcome, going off OP other posts it appears he was running MAP intake and downpipe along with stage 2 tune.
