I think I snapped a rod...

Are you going to try and argue the Honda Civic Type-R is not a performance car? Because the last I checked it performs pretty good.

It is a hopped up economy car just like an STI or EVO. A performance car is a purpose built platform like a GTR, Corvette, M3, 911, Etc.

@gtman ..

You said that 90% of these blow ups are fbo tuned cars. Apparently if intake only and a base map, thats ok, according to you.

Wait, that sounds like your setup. So you should be fine, keep telling that to yourself and you will believe it eventually.

The other poster just posted a few threads were base maps blew motors too. We can agree to disagree on this, because as i said its the torque that blows up motors not intercoolers or ethanol or other fbo parts.

True that.

They blame the driver to appease themselves that their tuned cars may not suffer the same faith cuz the driver is different.

Lol and I don’t know why you silly stock riders find the need to hop on every thread about a tune or anything that goes wrong while tuned.
It’s a given when tuning a vehicle that you could have problems. It’s a learning experience. Obviously why we tune is lost on people like you. So do everyone a favor and just don’t read threads like this.

go make a Show off your stock Civic thread and take your denizens with you.

back on topic. Hopefully we learn more OP.

Nobody is arguing and I wasn't referring to the Type-R.

Please read all those linked threads in detail. They weren't as straightforward as you think.

As far as telling me my thinking is wishful, that's not the case. I've made an educated decision that the risk is worth the reward.

What are you on man? Can you read English? Did you read this thread or just wanted your voice heard?

I am fbo on e50 and dont have a civic.

Maroons will stay maroons.

@gtman.. no i didnt read all the threads. Its common sense that if you tune a car that chances of blowing up will increase. Unlike you i accept that its the tune, why is my belief less important than yours?

You repeating nonmeasurable personal beliefs doesnt make it a fact. Thats only YOUR assessment of things. Apparently other ppl disagree including me. Pardon us for disagreeing.

And there's the rub. You spout off about the dangers of tuning the tenth gen Civic and you've never even owned one.

Lol don’t have a civic on a civic forum.
Tuned and here passing judgment on people that tune.
Bro you’re like a Jenner. You can’t figure out what you are.

most of the time it’s the driver pushing the vehicle over its limit. (Not saying it’s that reason in this case. )I mean if you tune a car and don’t drive it...it won’t blow up would it. LOL.

Insults.. the tool of choice for losers of arguments.

I guess if i bought a civic and snapped on an intake and bought ktuner id know all about civicx and tuning them. And id be safe, cuz base map and intake is ok says someone..

Stupid me.

 

[xcivicx]

hows everybody's crank holding up

 

[FlexRex]

Anti-tuners?

You are fighting common sense/logic my friend. Its a losing battle.

 

[Honda_RacerX]

I hate that we have to constantly go back and forth between defending and arguing about tuned vs non tuned. @Honda_RacerX will you kindly fuck off, your comments are not helpful. You start this shit in every blown thread. If you don't tune or mod then this thread DOES NOT CONCERN YOU. I would like to get back on topic and actually learn why this motor blew instead of going on a pointless tangent that will get this thread locked by a mod. This thread should be about research NOT OPINION!

You're speaking to a guy who is tuned on Hondata. Granted, I am running the stock equivelant tune now with increased throttle response and NLS, but I was running the +6 basemap for about 3k miles.

 

[FlexRex]

So both anti-tuners are tuned..

Interesting.. stay tuned for more.

Your warning to possible tuners is noted.
However, we’re actively derailing this thread and turning it into a debate and I accept that I was part of this problem.
That wasn’t the intent of OP post. As for the rest of us, every thread like this is valuable learning information.

Basic intake mods and the most popular tune on the forum on my Civic and many others here. 30k so far with half on that map. How soon do you think my engine will blow?
