  1. Turbo vs 2.0L Fuel Economy Comparison

    If you keep your foot out of the turbo in the city, and do 70 on the highway, it's not hard to get 45mpg.
  2. Gas Mileage

    Blah blah blah. I run 60psi in my insight and even in rain it doesn't make me spin round and round. I went from 34 to 40 in my Civic and noticed - no- difference in ride quality or traction, road noise did go up, yes. As did MPG.
  3. Gas Mileage

    Don't 'assume' your tire pressure is fine. Check and air up to 38PSI all the way around. As for gas, I suppose Costco is fine. And last but not least, throttle. Accelerate at 28% TPS (use torque on your phone to monitor this).
  4. Gas Mileage

    What is your tire pressure? What type of fuel do you use? How hard are you on the throttle?
  5. Blown turbo on Civic touring

    Sure, whatever you say. Not going to argue with someone on the Internet :).
  6. Full Plasti Dip 2016 Civic Job! Such sparkle! Much color! Wow!

    If you don't mind me asking, what was the total cost? I have been thinking of doing mine purple.
  7. Over the shoulder or rear view camera?

    I have a neck injury from a car accident that limits head rotation, having the rear camera has made my daily life so, so much less painful. So, for me it's camera in fishery mode. I never look over my shoulder anymore.
  8. Blown turbo on Civic touring

    Absolutely. Sometimes a turbo can 'grenade' as well when they overspool like that, but it's so rare I didn't bother mentioning it.
  9. Blown turbo on Civic touring

    So, let's go over this. The intake tube popped off. So, the car doesn't see boost, so it keeps the wastegate completely closed. The turbo will route all exhaust gas through the turbine, instead of out the wastegate, therefore, it will infinitly keep accumulating speed until the amount of oil is...

  11. Blown turbo on Civic touring

    Do NOT run the car like that! You are horribly over-spooling the turbo! That's probably why it was squealing!
  12. How fast have you gotten your civic?

    Mine stops at 126MPH so... Yea.
  13. First Oil Change

    I think my alignment is off as well. The steering wheel seems just ever so slightly off center.
  14. Blown turbo on Civic touring

    I would first check all your connections and see if you had an intake hose pop off.
  15. Horrible parking civics

    I have had my plates for like, a month now? Still haven't put them on, haha.
  16. Civic a "Best Car to get to 200,000" says Consumer Reports

    200k is not even hard to reach. My Mustang had 201k on original engine/trans/diff/driveshaft and it still ran good. Didn't burn oil, passed CA smog. My Honda insight has 350k and still going good.
  17. 2.0L vs 1.5L Turbo

    You can beat Q35's. Pop it in L with traction control off and ECON off.
  18. What did you do to your Civic today?!

    The Civic won't even go 130?
