We had the chance to test PRL's new Type R intercooler on the VitR and the results were very pleasing! Better power with less boost, and much better inlet air temps with stronger consistency! Full results on our blog: http://blog.vittuned.com/vitr-scraping-the-bottom-of-the-barrel/ Some video...

KTuner is starting the new year with a bang! They have released their latest V1 flash based tuner for all supported vehicles. This new unit is still $449 and includes a host of new features -- including on-board datalogging and up to 5 tune storage...

No problem. Bought a Type R, converted it to our MoTeC programming in under a week.

One of the things we were able to determine when we did our MoTeC development for the platform are the size of the injectors used on the vehicle. Now injector size/flow is relative to fuel pressure -- this is nothing new and works the same way on a port injected motor. So how "big" are the...

... and then drove it home, braving all the elements of winter in the USA. The search began on December 5th. Two days later and 70 dealerships later, I finally found a reasonable dealer and we immediately struck a deal for MSRP on a 2018 CW Type R. On the 6th I booked a flight out of Oregon...

Well this has been in the works for some time and we finally have a decent "drop in" turbo upgrade for the 1.5T! The goal was to have something quick and easy to install and pick up 10-15% power and keeping the powerband from dropping like a rock after 5000 rpm. Mission accomplished. Get it...

An unscripted explanation of rev hang with real world examples to demonstrate what it is and the why with live examples.

We were on the dyno finalizing the Stage 2 KTuner flex fuel tune we offer with our Flex Fuel Kit, and the car really laid it down! Flex Fuel Kit here: https://vittuned.com/civicx-10th-gen-honda-flex-fuel-kit.html Stage 2 Combo here...

Our KTuner Flex Fuel Kit pre-order has been going for some time and the first batch has shipped ( http://www.civicx.com/threads/vittuned-flex-fuel-kit-pre-order.16697/ ). As we wait for more converters to get made, I wanted to share in this section what the kit accomplishes and includes. - The...

#KTuner is at it again! Things may appear to be quiet, but we have been aggressively testing the new #FlexFuel logic that integrates directly with the #Honda #CivicX ECU and allows us to compensate fuel, timing AND boost based on how much ethanol is in the fuel -- allow the car to adapt to...

PRL tossed on their "Race" catless downpipe to see if we could squeeze a bit more power out of it? We absolutely could -- the car is on my recommend "eblend" (~E30 or so) and laid done some awesome (and consistent) power when coupled with our KTuner mapping. 280whp and over 330wtq!

Sprinkle some sauce on it (once again, no need for full E85 -- it's just a waste!) and it makes awesome power. PRL's Civic Si laying down some solid power with a VitTuned KTuner tune. Equipped with their CAI, Intercooler and catted downpipe using my 2.5/7 blend!

Early on I posted how fuel is the #1 mod for making power on this engine (eclipses intakes/downpipes), and here's why! And here's all the info you need! http://blog.vittuned.com/making-power-on-the-civic-x-full-disclosure/

Part of our R&D for building out a MoTeC solution for this platform involves mapping & characterizing the D/I injectors (relatively easy) and the D/I fuel pump (much more complex). Here's a little sneak peak at the D/I pumps (yes plural). Pictured is the non-Si D/I pump. It is a little...

The latest #KTuner update offers up even more flexibility for us to customize and find tune your Honda Civic Si. Not only do we have boost by gear on all turbo Civics, for the Si we have TWO fully tunable boost modes, switchable LIVE (on the fly) via the the Sport mode button. This lets us fine...

Mixed things up a bit this evening and managed to squeeze out even more power using KTuner on our test mule! https://www.facebook.com/vittuned/photos/a.1424885331056470.1073741830.1424883301056673/1930967377114927/?type=3&theater

Here is the latest update from KTuner. Existing customers with an MT that want the Full Throttle Shift setting set to a specific value can send me a ping via email and I will update your tune (if your tune is in progress just include a comment in the datalog upload). To get the speed limiter...

Here's the clutch kit for you! Tested on our own car to hold well over 320wtq and now available for everyone's consumption! http://vittuned.com/17-honda-civic-1-5-turbo-clutch-kit.html

Quick video clip of what the @PRL Motorsports downpipe combo sounds like with the factory Civic Si exhaust. I really enjoy the deep tone (for the most part -- there's a resonance right around 3700-4200 rpm from a heat shield that I need to clearance. I got lazy and didn't do it on the Si where...

Well now that I’ve changed out the clutch on our test mule 10th Gen Civic Si I’m able to lay into it and see what this baby turbo with the 1.5L motor can really do. Thank you to ClutchMasters for providing us with a very strong clutch — it held up through all the abuse I just put this car...
