  1. Gas/Knock Control Question with Phearable Tune on Civic CVT 1.5

    I understand that the Civic has some knock control that adjusts based on type of optional gas you put in the car (at least for stock?) I also am using phearable tune which I understand requires premium fuel 93+ or 91 at absolute minimum. My wife accidentally put in regular gas and also I was...

  3. 1.5T Phearable for CVT

    Hi, I have been using Ktuner 1.2 Starter 21 on Stock Civic CVT. Mostly for commuting to work or a nice long drive down to the shore, but appreciate the extra responsiveness and pep the tune provides. Do you recommend the Phearable 1.5 Tune for a stock civic CVt? worth the cost? Do you change...
  4. My KTuner experience - an ongoing journal

    gtman, civics4ever, thanks for the replies. Do you know if every time you flash the car with ktuner, if that resets the 'change oil % indicator' back to 100%? I have about ~12k miles on my car and it is showing 90%, but honestly I don't remember what it was before I flashed it a few months ago...
  5. My KTuner experience - an ongoing journal

    I have been driving with ktuner starter 21 dual tune usually on conservative/moderate settings with early turbo spool. Colder winter temperature have come here in New Jersey (20F/-6.6C to 40F/4.4C). Had a few questions come to mind now. 1. Do I have to be concerned about how I drive/warm up the...

  7. Oil Dilution Recall Updates

    Hi, I received a letter from Honda extending warranty for my 2018 hatchback sport cvt for this issue. What I understand is they are rolling out software updates in certain US states. I live in NJ and haven’t gotten any notice for bringing the car in for service updates. On my next oil change...
  8. My KTuner experience - an ongoing journal

    To clarify, I read it was recommended to flash ECU back to stock when bring the car to the dealer but should you also unlock Ktuner from the ECU too?
  9. 1.5T Have a turbo and a CVT? Considering a tune? Read this!

    Hi. First of all - thanks so much @gtman - I've been trying to catch up and read up on a lot of your posts and thread which has been very helpful. I'm still on my beginning journey with tuning. I'm still being 'conservative' with my 1.5 CVT until I feel more comfortable and confident in tuning...
  10. FINALLY bought a Ktuner ( i got some noob questions )

    Thanks SilverArrow and gtman. I’m thinking I’ll run stage 1 over the winter (in other threads, it seems owners keep it easy over the winter, especially warning about making sure the car is warmed up). Then maybe stage 2 until I learn more about tuning and get used to ktune. And then starter...
  11. FINALLY bought a Ktuner ( i got some noob questions )

    Hi, I am also looking to tune for the first time and been reading a lot of threads. some questions: If i use the starter 21 tune but don’t adjust any settings, is that the same as stage 2? I read going full throttle from 0 is not good for long term durability and i’m not looking to do that at...
